Abstract：
Accessible housing for the aging population is important, but large-scale reliable information on accessibility problems in ordinary housing is lacking. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of environmental barriers and analyze potential accessibility problems in the Swedish housing stock and to evaluate the validity and representativeness of housing data collected in a citizen science project. Data on environmental barriers in 1181 dwellings were collected by members of the public. Prevalence of barriers and potential accessibility problems were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ranking methodology. Validity and representativeness were addressed by comparisons with public statistics and research, and analysis of data properties. It was found there are substantial numbers of environmental barriers in dwellings across Sweden that generate accessibility problems for people with functional limitations. The results suggest that with user-friendly data collection tools and instructions, data validity and representativeness can be achieved in citizen science projects involving older adults.
摘要：
对于老龄化人口来说，无障碍住房很重要，但是缺乏关于普通住房无障碍问题的大规模可靠信息。这项研究旨在描述环境障碍的普遍性，并分析瑞典住房存量中潜在的可及性问题，并评估在公民科学项目中收集的住房数据的有效性和代表性。公众收集了1181所住宅的环境障碍数据。使用描述性统计和排名方法分析了障碍的患病率和潜在的可及性问题。通过与公共统计数据和研究进行比较，解决了有效性和代表性问题。和数据属性的分析。研究发现，瑞典各地的住宅中存在大量的环境障碍，这给功能受限的人们带来了可及性问题。结果表明，使用用户友好的数据收集工具和说明，在涉及老年人的公民科学项目中可以实现数据的有效性和代表性。
