Aim ahead: behavioural design in young people´s mobility environments

Purpose and goal:

The purpose is to contribute to active, attractive and sustainable mobility systems with a focus on childrens daily journeys to and from school. By using co-design, we aim to include children in the design of their mobility environmetns based on their sensory experiences. The goal is to disseminate knowledge about practical application and create mobility environments that are both safe and appealing to children.

This encompasses factors that influence childrens´ and parents´ transport decisions, ranging from traffic safety to aesthical experiences. Expected results and effects: - Knowledge development on how traffic environmetns can be co-designed to support sustainable mobility systems - Mapping of current sensory experiences, needs and behaviors related to children´s journeys to and from school

- Prioritization of one or more areas based on collected data and feedback - Engagement of key stakeholders, schools, children, and parents in project development and implementation

- Conceptual design of mobility envirionmetns that describe the desired sensory experiences, which will serve as guideline for future design and implementation efforts Approach and implementation:

The project use a design approach with experts in design, physiotherapy, architectuire, and behavioral deisgn to understand children´s travel habits and needs. Through behavioral mapping and workshops, children co-create mobility environments. Conceptual sketches are created as examples of how sustainable mobility environments can be designed.

The project phases include 1) project initiation and planning, 2) behavioral mapping and target audience identification, 3) co-creation and analysis, and 4) strategy development, communication and future planning.
