AB - This is the preliminary study on developing the mobile pedestrian navigation for the visually impaired. Based on the spatial cognition of them, this paper discusses which kind of spatial elements are required and how these can be provided properly. Because more important senses to the visually impaired are auditory and tactile sense, most of the information in the navigation should be given by the forms of verbal instruction, sounds and vibration of the devices. As a result, I suggests that; (1) information about barriers or obstacles such as bollard should be regarded not as secondary, but primary, (2) landmark which is one of the most important elements for wayfinding to the sighted is also crucial to the guidance for the visual impaired, (3) when spatial informations for wayfinding, such as landmark, direction and distance, are needed, specific providing method depends on the types of visual impairment, as such total blindness, meropia, or visual field deficit.
