本研究採用先量後質之混合研究法，研究者先利用問卷結果得知肢體障礙者對旅遊滿意度之重要因素，再以質化深度訪談探討此一族群對此重要因素之原由；研究對象以肢體障礙者為主要研究對象，總計回收443 份問卷；其中並訪談11 位對象，包含肢體障礙者、脊髓損傷者協會理事長及秘書，以及參與無障礙旅遊之服務志工。研究結果發現肢體障礙者在旅遊過程中最重視的因素為硬體設施；另外也發現女性肢體障礙者因體能較男性不足，因此較重視服務義工陪同；而青壯年肢體障礙者則喜愛嘗試多元化及富有挑戰性的遊程；使用電動輪椅者在搭乘交通工具時需要較大的環境空間；經常旅遊者則因景點無障礙設施及交通工具不便因此較重視硬體設施部分。最後，本研究依其研究結果提出無障礙旅遊發展之建議。
