          Abstract

          The ageing population is a phenomenon in countries worldwide. The elderly will be marginalised when they travel less due to inaccessibility. This study distributed questionnaires to 600 elderly aged 60 and above in Kota Kinabalu. Factor Analysis is used to analyse 28 parameters of the factor implemented accessibility towards their living requirements. This study developed four main factors: personal, land use, transportation facilities, and temporal. Due to their physical incapacity, the land use aspect has the most significant concern. The findings can assist the government and agencies in implementing policies and strategies to fulfil the mobility needs of the elderly.
