AB - This study examines the integrated mechanism through which environmental accessibility is associated with social exclusion among persons with disabilities, focusing on the mediating role of outing frequency and the moderatin g role of disability type. Environmental accessibility was divided into neighborhood accessibility and facility proximity, and disability type was categorized as mobility-related or non-mobility-related. Data were drawn from the 6th wave (2 023) of the Disability and Life Dynamics Panel conducted by the Korea Disabled People’s Development Institute, and the final analytic sample comprised 4,075 registered persons with disabilities aged 20 and older. Mediation and moder ated mediation effects were tested using Hayes’s (2022) PROCESS macro. The results are as follows. First, higher nei ghborhood accessibility was associated with lower total social exclusion scores (total effect B = −0.333), and outing frequency partially mediated this relationship (indirect effect B = −0.035). Second, facility proximity was related to o uting frequency in the direction opposite to that hypothesized, yielding inconsistent mediation. Third, the moderated m ediation effect of disability type was not significant in the full-path model (Model 59), but was observed to a limited extent in a parsimonious model (Model 14) that moderated only the path with a significant interaction (M→Y). These findings provide empirical evidence on for whom and in what manner mobility and outing support policies for person s with disabilities should be delivered. However, because the analysis is based on cross-sectional data, causal interpret ation is limited.
