      <abstract>
        <p>When building an accessible facility, there will be a series of projects to be evaluated. Therefore, through the World Health Organization’s “ Global Aging-friendly Cities: A Guide “ released by the World Health Organization in 2007, this study is based on eight aspects and serves as a reference for cities to promote age-friendly cities. In addition, the importance weights are obtained through interviews with experts and scholars. At the same time, when setting up accessible ramps, special attention should be paid to protective measures, guardrails, and handrails.</p>
