People with locomotion difficulties encounter many barriers in a pedestrian environment. Pavement quality has been shown to substantially affect pedestrian satisfaction in general, and its optimal design may contribute to reducing the stigma put on people with impairments. Our research involved a survey assessing perception and attitudes towards pavement quality and characteristics for pedestrian comfort. The classic correlation of the variables based on contingency tables was used to analyse data and to test whether respondents' perceptions depended on certain profile features. The completion of the statistical inference was the use of advanced algorithms of the correspondence analysis method. The relationships between the variables were assessed optionally using the chi test. The study results revealed desirable parameters and features of paving surfaces. People who use manual wheelchairs and declare limb loss prefer medium- and large-format concrete pavers with smooth finishing and no bevelling. People with skeletal abnormalities or peripheral neuropathy prefer concrete slabs and surfaces made of small- or medium-sized panels arranged in a regular pattern, made of smooth non-slip concrete with narrow joints. Further laboratory tests are necessary to investigate whether increased water permeability of pavements constructed on eco-friendly base layers can curb damage to the pavement surface and provide long-term durability.
行动不便的人在步行环境中会遇到许多障碍。总体而言，路面质量已被证明会极大地影响行人的满意度，其优化设计可能有助于减少对残障人士的歧视。我们的研究包括一项调查，评估人们对路面质量以及有助于行人舒适行走的特性的看法和态度。基于列联表对变量进行经典相关性分析，以分析数据并测试受访者的看法是否取决于某些剖面特征。统计推断的完成采用了对应分析方法的先进算法。变量之间的关系也可选用卡方检验进行评估。研究结果揭示了理想的路面参数和特性。使用手动轮椅且有肢体缺失的人更喜欢表面光滑、无斜边的中大型混凝土铺路砖。患有骨骼异常或周围神经病变的人更喜欢混凝土板以及由中小尺寸面板以规则图案排列而成的路面，这些面板由光滑的防滑混凝土制成，接缝狭窄。有必要进行进一步的实验室测试，以研究在环保基层上建造的路面增加透水性是否能抑制路面表面损坏并提供长期耐久性。
