Introduction to Pedestrian Movement and Behaviour in Stadia
https://orcid.org/https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2843-2924
There is a significant population of mobility related disabled persons in Canada. Recent studies have shown accessibility and mobility are a large concern in stadia egress which requires more research and practitioner attention. In 2019, Canada enacted the Accessible Canada Act to address this issue by focusing on identifying, removing, and preventing barriers that limit social, political and economic inclusion. However, the act currently requires only minimal design considerations which would be helpful to a select group of disabled persons, and for only certain types of buildings, often excluding stadia. Accessibility should offer equal quality of life for all disabled persons as well as non-disabled persons. There is a lack of research on understanding the behaviour of disabled persons in egress of stadia which designers require. Therefore, a Canadian tennis stadium will be analyzed during normal circulation and egress situations. The chapter presents a literary background for movement of disabled persons in egress and presents reviews of both Canadian and international design guidance for egress identifying areas of focus for later chapters. While the chapter focuses on the Canadian context, general conclusions may be globally applicable.
