abstract="Access and mobility are important dimensions of quality of life. For wheelchair users, everyday trips are often fraught with problems, with many barriers imperceptible to the able-bodied, hindering or totally restricting movement. This paper describes a project undertaken with wheelchair users, which has developed, tested and applied a Geographic Information System model. This model acts both as a navigational device for wheelchairs users 2013 enabling them to make informed route choices through urban places 2013 and as a decision support and planning tool for urban planners 2013 making visible the ways in which built environments are often distorted and hostile spaces for wheelchair users.<p />",
