the study
This study is designed to learn about the relationship between characteristics of the built environment and space-time behaviour of individuals.
Urban designers and planners attempt to create an urban environment that people find comfortable, can move around easily, and provides stimulation for participation in different activities. Research in urban planning and design and other related disciplines suggest that the relationship between the built environment and individual satisfaction and behaviours is strong than we think. We assume in the frame of this study that individuals possess beliefs about the environment that affect their urban life: it means that the urban environment does influence individual behaviours and poses constraints on these behaviors.
To understand the role of environmental perceptions on an individual's life, we can study people's space-time behaviours.
Where do people go (space)?
When do they go (time)?
How long do they stay there (time)?
What do they do there (behaviours)?
Why do they go there (behaviours)?
this study has following objectives:
1. to understand the way how individuals LEARN and REMEMBER the city
2. to understand individual's SATISFACTION and PREFERENCES toward certain public locations
the aim of our study is twofold:
on the one hand we are interested in the process of how people learn about the city and form their knowledge, ideas, images and beliefs about the city, through travelling and experience (through space-time behaviours). On the other how their knowledge, ideas and perceptions affect travel mode choice (i.e., car, bicycle, walk) and choice of activities.
for collecting data about individual's space-time behaviour the participant will carry a GPS logger when he/she performs out of home activities.
We can not track you in real time while you are travelling!
Your participation in the study will be very important for us! Your personal data and responses will be used for statistical and generalization purposes only and will not be identified with you. Data will be used to understand and analyse individual space-time behaviour in public urban spaces. The findings can lead to an improvement of design guidelines and the formalization of principles for space-time behaviour models that are used by planning authorities.
