After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

... independently develop and apply methods for spatial research (perception, investigation, measurement, documentation),

... evaluate current mobility planning projects with regard to the (international) state of the art,

... identify challenges in the planning and realisation of ambitious mobility projects and

... understand and critically categorise the viewpoints and perspectives of different stakeholders in mobility planning (politics, administration, planning, ...).

In the MOVE.walks, we visit and discuss current concepts, designs and implementations of mobility planning together with local experts. In four walks, we focus on one key topic each and get to know the views of practitioners from different areas (politics, administration, planning, business, ...).

We understand walking as an active research method in the sense of "promenadology" and want to jointly explore its potential as a method of perception, analysis and communication. To this end, all participants will develop methods that will be tested during the walks, developed further and reflected on in a short report.

In the 2024 winter semester, the walks will focus on the following topics

• Pedestrian traffic, greening and urban climate
• Shared space in shopping streets
• Cycling planning
• Sharing services and logistics in urban development areas

The experts for the individual walks will be added to TISS on an ongoing basis.

• Joint walks
• Discussion with mobility planning experts
• Independent development of methods of empirical mobility research

• The walks take place in all weathers.

One of the sessions on cycle traffic planning will take place by bike - so please make sure you bring a bike with you! If you do not have your own bike, you can also use the WienMobil bike-sharing service.

If there is very high demand, the following procedure will be used:

• Students with a Master's number will be prioritised.
• Participation in the kick-off is mandatory.
• The time of registration determines the order.

Please only register if you are currently able to attend all dates!

• Attendance at all 4 dates - one excused (!) absence will be tolerated
• Active participation in the discussion during the walks and the final reflexion
• Preparation of a walk with moderation and questions based on the literature provided (group work)
• Independent development and application of two methods in the context of the walks
• Submission of two methodological reflections (individual work - 4 pages in length)
• Submission of an analysis of current mobility planning (individual work - 10 pages)

Details of the organisation will be announced at the kick-off. Attendance at the kick-off is mandatory in order to be able to complete the course.

Bitte melden Sie sich nur an, wenn Sie aus heutiger Sicht an allen vier Terminen + KickOff teilnehmen können!
