Depuis la pandémie de COVID-19 en 2020, des espaces favorisants les déplacements actifs ont émergé dans plusieurs villes à travers le monde. Cela peut prendre forme en espaces partagés entre usager-ères de transport actif comme c’est le cas dans la ville de Montréal avec la création d’une Zone lenteur sur quelques rues commerciales. La littérature portant sur ces espaces partagés explore davantage les risques et la sécurité réelle des personnes piétonnes que les expériences que peuvent vivre les personnes circulant à pied. Dans ce contexte, ce mémoire se penche sur la question suivante : comment le partage de l’espace des piéton-nes et des cyclistes affecte-t-elle l’expérience des piéton-nes, dans le cadre du projet de Zone lenteur sur l’avenue du Mont-Royal à Montréal ? Les expériences piétonnes sont représentées à l’aide du sentiment de sécurité, de la sociabilité et des perceptions face à l’environnement urbain, à travers les perceptions sensorielles, découlant du concept de perception de l’espace. Pour ce faire, des parcours commentés ont été réalisés avec 15 personnes circulant à pied sur l’avenue du Mont-Royal à l’été 2022. Nos résultats font émerger trois typologies d’expériences piétonnes : insécurité – insécurité ponctuelle – plaisir. Le sentiment de sécurité est un élément essentiel pour atteindre une expérience positive et un épanouissement comme personne qui circule à pied sur l’avenue du Mont-Royal dans un contexte de cohabitation avec les cyclistes. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, spaces encouraging active travel have emerged in many cities around the world. It can take the form of shared spaces between active transport users, as is the case in the city of Montreal with the creation of a Slow Zone on some commercial streets. The literature on these shared spaces focuses more on the risks and actual safety of pedestrians than on the experiences of people on foot. In that context, this research addresses the following question: how does

Background Shared spaces are intended to constitute an attractive urban space for everyone by blending protected and unprotected road users. However, our previous study showed that pedestrians prefer the traditional division between protected and unprotected road users, at the same time as elderly pedestrians focused less on traffic when the division was recreated by large flowerpots. Objective This follow-up study aimed to examine the effects of external factors, such as alternative design and pedestrian density, on motorists’ subjective experiences, and the speed and placement of their vehicles within a shared space. Methods To investigate this, Q-methodology was used to examine 32 motorists’ subjective experiences, and video recordings were analysed to measure the speed and placement of 150 vehicles on Fisherman’s Square in Västervik, Sweden, both without (75 vehicles) and with (75 vehicles) large flowerpots deployed. Results The motorists preferred when the large flowerpots were deployed to recreate the traditional division. The results also showed that both the large flowerpots and high pedestrian density decreased vehicles’ mean maximum speed. The deployment of large flowerpots also decreased the distribution of vehicles over the square. Conclusion Recreating some type of division between protected and unprotected road users appears to be preferred. Further studies are required to ascertain whether this solution works for all road user groups, including cyclists and e-scooter riders.

Ensamhet är ett utbrett problem som blir alltmer aktuellt i stora delar av världen och är en fråga som även påverkar Sverige. Ensamhet och social isolering är faktorer som har en direkt koppling till en ökad mental ohälsa, depression och ångest i samhället och hushållen. Forskning understryker dessutom att en klar korrelation finns mellan ensamhet, ohälsa bland befolkningen och ensamboende. Samtidigt som det är en fråga som berör samtliga generationer i samhället, från barn till äldre, återfinns den största andelen drabbade bland personer som bor ensamma i ensamhushåll. Vi har sedan ursprungstider levt tillsammans med flera generationer under samma tak, detta är en bostadstypologi som idag blir allt vanligare i stora delar av världen där flertalet faktorer i samhället bidragit till denna utveckling. Detta examensarbete syftar till att presentera en gestaltning av ett flergenerationsboende beläget i Helsingborg, som syftar till att genom sin gestaltning främja samlevnad, social interaktion, kunskapsutbyte och närhet för att därmed motverka och minska ensamheten och isoleringen inom hushållen och samhället. Undersökningen inleds med litteraturstudier som står till grund för framtagandet av ett eget pattern language, med en samling av element och design principer som används i gestaltandet av flergenerationsbostäder och som vidare implementerats i olika utsträckning i mitt gestaltningsförslag. Därtill har jag kompletterat metoden med en skissprocess och personlig erfarenhet av bostadstypologin. Resultatet presenteras i form av ett gestaltningsförslag av ett flergenerationsboende där flera generationer kan bo och arbeta tillsammans i gemenskap och harmoni. En bostad som kännetecknas av flexibilitet, generalitet och anpassningsbarhet för att tillgodose alla generationers nuvarande och framtida behov. Rummen och utrymmena i bostaden är gestaltade för att främja samlevnad, social interaktion och närhet. Samtidigt som en balans i gestaltningen mellan samvaro och självständi, Loneliness is a widespread problem that is becoming increasingly relevant in large parts of the world and is an issue that also affects Sweden. Loneliness and social isolation are factors that have a direct link to increased mental illness, depression and anxiety in society and households. Research indicates a significant correlation between loneliness, public health concerns and single occupancy. Whereas it is an issue that concerns all generations in society, from children to the elderly, the greatest percentage of people affected are individuals living in one-person households. Since beginning of time, we have lived together with several generations under the same roof, this housing typology, multigenerational living, has become increasingly common in large parts of the world, where several factors in society have contributed to this development. This thesis aims to present a design for a multigenerational home located in Helsingborg, which aspires to promote co-living, social interaction, knowledge exchange and proximity through its design, thereby counteracting and reducing the loneliness and isolation within households and society. The investigation commences with literature studies forming the basis for the development of my own pattern language, with a collection of elements and design-principles that are used in the design of multigenerational residences, which have further been implemented to varying extents in my design proposal. Additionally, I have supplemented the method with a sketching process and personal experience of the housing typology. The result is presented in the form of a design proposal for a multigenerational home where several generations can live and work together in community and harmony. A residence characterized by flexibility, generality, and adaptability to meet the current and future needs of all generations. The rooms and spaces in the dwelling are designed to promote co-living, social interaction, and proximity. Simultaneously

In response to the automobile-oriented urban street designs, this study explores the implementation of "Fair Streets" in school zones in the Netherlands. This research aims to create a transition from only vehicle prioritization to also a focus on social, environmental, and community functions on streets around school zones. Currently, up to 50% of public space in cities is allocated to car infrastructure, leading to significant social and environmental drawbacks. This research uses a multi-criteria decision-making method, applying the Best-Worst Method (BWM) for interviews and surveys amongst key stakeholders at the Fuutlaan in Delft to evaluate stakeholder perspectives and integrate various needs into renewed street designs. The interviews reveal a strong preference for a more sustainable design, emphasizing the need for resistance to rainfall and heat, which aligns with the municipality's redevelopment goals. Also, designs that reduce car parking space in favor of inclusivity and traffic safety are desired, reflecting a shift towards a more fair use of street space. However, the acceptance of this redevelopment among some car users remains low, causing resistance. Therefore, this study advocates for policy adaptations that increase the feasibility and acceptance of such transformative urban designs. Recommendations for practice include involving the stakeholders early in the planning process and keeping them well-informed and educated about changes in the neighborhood. Also, creating trials with space usage changes and providing sufficient transportation alternatives are recommended. For further research, it is important to focus mainly on this topic's social aspect. To increase acceptance and participation, methods are needed to approach and convince people to support a fairer street., Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics

In modern society, loneliness is often talked about as an undesirable thing and something that should be eliminated, which makes it obvious that many people are suffering from it. Considering that the physical spaces we inhabit significantly shape our social interactions and relationships, this project aims to highlight the importance of spatial design in fostering connections with others beyond oneself. Specifically, the gaze is directed toward co-living. Slakthusområdet is a slaughter industrial area that is going to be developed from an industrial area into an urban district with lots of housing. On the site, I have examined how spatial design can create a lifestyle on our own initiative and feel a sense of belonging in a new environment. Through personal observations, this project explores a way of life that accepts loneliness and seeks to live with it. In this project, I call this way of living “Being alone together”. By using physical models as the primary medium, I proposed a housing complex that offers diverse forms of living spaces to accommodate all residents. This new approach to communal living holds the potential to unlock new possibilities of life, particularly for urban dwellers. Furthermore, it offers a fresh and unique solution in response to the housing challenges faced in Stockholm.

In shared office spaces, occupants' comfort criteria are limited to locally controlled zones while ambient features of the environment and the potential negative impacts of others' behavior require a well-designed control system, especially over adaptive façade elements. This means setting up control strategies for a wider spectrum of varying comfort perceptions from person to person dictates an approach towards personalizing adaptive facades. Thereby, this research coupled a simulation-based methodology with fuzzy logic and a genetic algorithm to personalize façade modules based on the visual discomfort conditions of the occupants. Results confirmed that increasing the control freedom by personalization accounting for multi-objective criteria including glare, daylight, and view could satisfy occupants from 83% to 100%. Moreover, the proposed façade personalization framework could enhance visual comfort compared with two typical automated Venetian blind controls, significantly. This study provides novel insights for designers and operators to decentralize facades' elements by accepting occupants’ feedback as part of their control loops., Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public., History, Form & Aesthetics

Collisions and safety are important concepts when dealing with urban designs like shared spaces. As pedestrians (especially the elderly and disabled people) are more vulnerable to accidents, realising an intelligent mobility aid to avoid collisions is a direction of research that could improve safety using a wearable device. Also, with the improvements in technologies for visualisation and their capabilities to render 3D virtual content, AR devices could be used to realise virtual infrastructure and virtual traffic systems. Such devices (e.g., Hololens) scan the environment using stereo and ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensors, which in principle can be used to detect surrounding objects, including dynamic agents such as pedestrians. This can be used as basis to predict collisions. To envision an AR device as a safety aid and demonstrate its 3D object detection capability (in particular: pedestrian detection), we propose an improvement to the 3D object detection framework Frustum Pointnet with human pose and apply it on the data from an AR device. Using the data from such a device in an indoor setting, we conducted a comparative study to investigate how high level 2D human pose features in our approach could help to improve the detection performance of orientated 3D pedestrian instances over Frustum Pointnet.

Straßenraumentwürfe nach dem Mischungsprinzip, das die strikte Trennung der Verkehrsarten gezielt aufweicht, haben in der urbanen Verkehrsplanung in den letzten Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Unabhängig davon, ob die lokale Ausprägung als Begegnungszone, deregulierter Abschnitt oder Shared Space bezeichnet wird, verfolgen Entwürfe nach diesem Prinzip eine gemeinsame Motivation: Verkehrsteilnehmer sollen Konflikte situationsabhängig und durch spontane Verständigung lösen, wodurch eine größere gegenseitige Rücksichtnahme und eine Steigerung der Aufenthaltsqualität, insbesondere für den nicht-motorisierten Verkehr, erzielt werden sollen. Im Gegensatz zu konventionellen Entwurfsmustern sind entsprechende Verkehrsflussmodelle, die es dem Verkehrsplaner ermöglichen, einen Entwurf bereits im Vorfeld anhand einer Simulation bewerten zu können, für derartige Mischverkehrsflächen noch wenig verbreitet. Ein zu diesem Zweck geeignetes Simulationsmodell sollte Ergebnisse liefern, die sowohl hinsichtlich Kriterien wie der Leistungsfähigkeit eines Knotenpunkts als auch der spezifischen Zielstellungen, insbesondere der gesteigerten Verkehrssicherheit und Aufenthaltsqualität, ausgewertet werden können. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in dieser Arbeit auf Basis des Soziale-Kräfte-Modells (SKM) ein mikroskopisches Verkehrsflussmodell zur Abbildung des Verhaltens von Fußgängern, Radfahrern und Pkw bei gemeinsamer Nutzung von Mischverkehrsflächen entwickelt. Aufbauend auf beobachteten Verhaltensweisen von drei Knotenpunkten in Braunschweig und Hamburg erfolgt die Modellbildung in drei wesentlichen Schritten. Zunächst wird die Generierung von realistischen Trajektorien aus zusammengesetzten Klothoidenabschnitten modelliert. Um die Bewegung entlang einer vorgeplanten Trajektorie abbilden zu können, wird das SKM entsprechend modifiziert. Diese trajektorienorientierte Bewegung ermöglicht die Modellierung einer subjektiven Konfliktdetektion. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunächst eine Bewegungsp

Rapporten är framtagen med ekonomiskt bidrag från Skyltfonden, Trafikverket. Ståndpunkter och slutsatser i rapporten reflekterar författaren och överensstämmer inte med nödvändighet med Trafikverkets ståndpunkter och slutsatser inom rapportens ämnesområde. Två platser, som har utförts med ambitionen att de ska fungera som Shared Space-ytor, har studerats med avseende på hur de uppnår krav på trafiksäkerhet, trygghet och tillgänglighet samt vilken robusthet de har för svängningar i samhället. Platserna, Bergmansgatan vid Mölndals torg och Sveaplan/Nordenskiöldsgatan i Linnéstaden i Göteborg har studerats. Platserna har olika förutsättningar vad det gäller bland annat; placeringen i staden, trafikreglering, utbud/målpunkter kring platsen, Shared Space-ytans storlek relativt torget, hur man upplever entrén till platsen, väggarna kring platsen och trafikflödenas storlek.

El trabajo aborda críticamente la construcción de una teoría política de las cosas públicas por la pensadora Bonnie Honig. A tal fin, se rastrean en primer término los orígenes de dicha teoría concebida en clave de respuesta a la crisis de la soberanía democrática ante los efectos disolventes del emergente universo cosmopolita y el pujante retroceso de lo público. En segundo lugar, se insertan sus raíces en el complejo escenario teórico que ha provocado el giro posthumanista en las ciencias sociales, situando su aportación en el contexto del materialismo vital concebido como una expresión específicamente política del nuevo materialismo; de esta manera se contrastan las ventajas del enfoque material frente a las teorizaciones sobre los comunes o el espacio compartido. En tercer y último lugar, se analiza críticamente la porosidad conceptual del planteamiento de Honig proponiendo nuevos instrumentos teóricos capaces de profundizar en la potencia de concernir que tienen las cosas públicas., The work critically addresses the construction of a political theory of public things by Bonnie Honig. To this end, the origins of this theory are traced conceived as a response to the crisis of democratic sovereignty in the face of the dissolving effects of the emerging cosmopolitan universe and the thriving decline of the public sphere. Secondly, its roots are inserted in the complex theoretical scenario that has caused the posthumanist turn in the social sciences, placing its contribution in the context of vital materialism conceived as a specifically political expression of new materialism. In this way, the advantages of the material approach are contrasted with theories about the commons or shared space. In the third and last place, the conceptual porosity of Honig’s approach is critically analyzed, proposing new theoretical instruments capable of deepening the power of concern that public things have.

The shared space design is applied in urban streets to support barrier-free movement and integrate traffic participants (such as pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles) into a common road space. Regardless of the low-speed environment, sharing space with motor vehicles can make vulnerable road users feel uneasy. Yet, walking in groups increases their confidence as well as influence the yielding behavior of drivers. Therefore, we propose an innovative approach to support the crossing of pedestrians via grouping and project the virtual lanes in shared spaces. This paper presents the important components of the crowd steering system, discusses the enablers and gaps in the current approach, and illustrates the proposed idea with concept diagrams.

The project deals with a real time issue of housing shortage, the urgency of which requires feasible solutions. It looks to the cities with different eyes and encourages seeing the otherwise overlooked opportunities. The proposed design of single occupant housing responds to this typology’s increasing demand. It also takes advantage of its small scale being an ideal intervention for the restricted size of these un-used spaces, off-site smart production, and ease of transport. The intention of this graduation project is to provide the target group: students and young professionals, with affordable housing in the vibrant city centers. Its aim is to find the needed structural and technical solutions to design lightweight units that attach to existing buildings, inspired by innovative and sustainable methods. The proposed units would intervene on a neighborhood and create new experiences and opportunities within it. By creating spaces to be shared by these units and the neighborhood a new way of dwelling is encouraged where ownership and the limits of private and public are re-questioned to create a coherent society with a more efficient use of space, which is becoming more sacred by the moment.

Shared Space är ett begrepp som har dykt upp allt mer i stadsplaneringen. Shared Space är ett koncept som syftar till att skapa attraktiva stadsrum genom att integrera olika trafikantgrupper på en gemensam yta. Integreringen av olika trafikslag ska bidra till ett samspel som ger lägre hastigheter och en ökad trafiksäkerhet, vilket även ska hjälpa stadsmiljön att bli och verka attraktiv för människan. När stadsmiljön blir attraktivare ska även fler människor få en vilja attvistas i dessa miljöer. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur konceptet Shared Space används och planeras för istadsplaneringen. Uppsatsen ämnar även att belysa hur konceptet fungerar i praktiken i stadsmiljön, specifikt för Karlstads tätort. Den baseras därför på tre olika platser i Karlstads tätort som är utformade enligt planeringskonceptet Shared Space. En fallstudie med innehållsanalyser, observationer samt intervjuer med tjänstepersoner på Karlstads kommun har genomförts för att komma fram till vad tanken med ytorna har varit, hur de fungerar i verkligheten samt om konceptets innehållande dimensioner. För att besvara och uppnå syftet har dessa tre frågeställningar legat till grund: Vad har Karlstads kommun haft för visioner vid planeringen av Shared Space i stadsmiljön? Hur fungerar Shared Space ytorna i förhållande till visionerna? Hur anpassas Shared Space för att förena attraktivitet för människan och en trygg och fungerande trafikmiljö? Det teoretiska ramverket visar på uppsatsens vetenskapliga förankring och redogör till stor del om Jane Jacobs och Jan Gehl tankar kring stadsplaneringens utveckling. Planeringen har anpassat samhället utifrån bilen och dess behov under en lång period och har därför påverkat det offentliga rummet och dess funktion. Den mänskliga dimensionen har inte tagits i beaktande, vilket har resulterat i offentliga rum där människor inte känner attraktivitet, trivsel och en tillhörighet. Shared Space är en slags motreaktion för att ge tillbaka det offentliga rummet

With the increasing popularity of active modes (mainly pedestrians and bicycles), the spaces shared amongst these modes are also rising. Such spaces are often referred to as shared spaces and can often be seen in public areas near train stations, shopping streets and educational institutions. Such spaces are said to enhance safety and resolve spatial limitations of the space while the users are seen to exhibit interesting and complex behaviours as they freely interact with different modes approaching from various directions. This creates a need to collect data and understand the behaviour of people within such spaces. Many studies focusing on shared space interactions are limited by the current methods of data collection and data extraction. Other studies on people movement also face similar issues. Current data extraction approaches using cameras include repetitive and labour-intensive tasks which makes them costly and inefficient. Thus, this study focuses on automating the data extraction approach to obtain the ground-plane trajectories of people using the data recorded from a 3D-stereo vision camera. The data processing framework was divided into three main stages, (i) agent detection, (ii) ground-plane representation and (iii) agent tracking. The agent detection uses a neural-network-based detection model to detect people on the visual video which is then paired with the depth data to represent people on the ground plane. Each person is represented as a single point on the ground plane for every frame of the video. These points were then inputted into a tracking model to provides trajectories of people on the ground plane. Overall, this research integrates the recent state-of-the-art technologies into a single framework to automate the data extraction process and tests this framework in a real-world setting (behind the Amsterdam central station’s shared space area). For each stage, the advantages, challenge and recommendation for further improvements have b

Strengthening the place quality and the balance between different users of the traditional central or local main street with mixed functions is the most topical issue for all modern developed cities, where car traffic and transport infrastructure dominate over a wide group of other transportation modes and land uses. Traffic hierarchization and segregation principles, in addition to the division of responsibility areas in streets between different professions, created two different, incompatible worlds — the highway and the public place. Nowadays, we can create a good highway for cars and perfect places for people individually, but when we try to combine them, the worst public space appears. It prevents the existence of mixed use streets (in both theory and legislation) and it still weakens their place quality in real life. The need to find a more suitable approach to calm traffic on the main, multifunctional streets in the Czech Republic is emphasized by the growth of the global phenomenon of shared space theory.

Strengthening the place quality and the balance between different users of the traditional central or local main street with mixed functions is the most topical issue for all modern developed cities, where car traffic and transport infrastructure dominate over a wide group of other transportation modes and land uses.

With the increasing popularity of active modes (mainly pedestrians and bicycles), the spaces shared amongst these modes are also rising. Such spaces are often referred to as shared spaces and can often be seen in public areas near train stations, shopping streets and educational institutions. Such spaces are said to enhance safety and resolve spatial limitations of the space while the users are seen to exhibit interesting and complex behaviours as they freely interact with different modes approaching from various directions. This creates a need to collect data and understand the behaviour of people within such spaces. Many studies focusing on shared space interactions are limited by the current methods of data collection and data extraction. Other studies on people movement also face similar issues. Current data extraction approaches using cameras include repetitive and labour-intensive tasks which makes them costly and inefficient. Thus, this study focuses on automating the data extraction approach to obtain the ground-plane trajectories of people using the data recorded from a 3D-stereo vision camera. The data processing framework was divided into three main stages, (i) agent detection, (ii) ground-plane representation and (iii) agent tracking. The agent detection uses a neural-network-based detection model to detect people on the visual video which is then paired with the depth data to represent people on the ground plane. Each person is represented as a single point on the ground plane for every frame of the video. These points were then inputted into a tracking model to provides trajectories of people on the ground plane. Overall, this research integrates the recent state-of-the-art technologies into a single framework to automate the data extraction process and tests this framework in a real-world setting (behind the Amsterdam central station’s shared space area). For each stage, the advantages, challenge and recommendation for further improvements have b

I takt med att staden ska bli mer hållbar och urbaniseringen gör att staden förtätas kan nya prioriteringar behöva göras. Hållbara transportmedel så som gående, cykel och kollektivtrafik kan behöva större utrymme i en förtätad stad och bilens framkomlighet kan behöva begränsas. Shared space är en teori inom stadsplaneringen som handlar om att prioritera oskyddade trafikanter högre och även låta gatan bli en plats för vistelse. Denna teori har förekommit i liten skala runt om i världen sedan 1970-talet och är kanske idag mer aktuell än någonsin. Faktorerna som påverkar utformningen av stadens gator är många och komplexa. Utformningen är ett resultat av vilka faktorer som har prioriterats högst. Prioriteringen hänger samman med rådande ideal, politiska strömningar och trender vilka förändras över tid. Trafikplaneringen är ett trögt system som tar tid att utveckla, men är samtidigt en stor investering som bör förvaltas till kommande generationer. Förändringar i trafiksystemet kan få stora effekter för människors vardagsliv genom att trafikflöden är avgörande för mänsklig rörelse. På majoriteten av gatorna i staden idag har bilen och trafiksäkerheten varit de avgörande faktorerna som prioriterats. Utrymmet som tas upp av körbanor och parkeringsplatser för bilen är omfattande. Att så stor del av invånarnas gemensamma yta upptas av biltrafik kan ses som ett demokratiskt problem eftersom inte alla har tillgång till bil., As the city is to become more sustainable and the urbanization leads to a more densified cities, new priorities may need to be made. Sustainable means of transport such as pedestrian, bicycle and public transport may need more space in a denser city and the accessibility of the car may need to be limited. Shared space is a theory in urban planning that is prioritizing unprotected road users higher and also letting the street be a place for everyday activity. This theory has existed on a small scale around the world since the 1970s and is perhaps more relevant today than ever. The factors that influence the design of the city's streets are many and complex. The design is a result of which factors have been given the highest priority. Priority is linked to prevailing ideals, political positions and trends that change over time. Traffic planning is a slow system that takes time to develop, it is also a great investment that should be managed for future generations. Changes in the traffic system may have major effects on people's everyday lives because traffic flows are crucial for human movement. In the majority of the streets in the city today, car and road safety have been the deciding factors that have been prioritized. The space occupied by carriageways and car parking spaces is extensive. The effect that residents' common area is occupied by car traffic can be seen as a democratic problem since not everyone has access to a car.

Shared spaces are gaining presence in cities, where a variety of players and mobility types (pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, and cars) move without specifically delimited areas. This makes the traffic they comprise challenging for automated systems. The information traditionally considered (e.g., streets, and obstacle positions and speeds) is not enough to build suitable models of the environment. The required explanatory and anticipation capabilities need additional information to improve them. Social aspects (e.g., goal of the displacement, companion, or available time) should be considered, as they have a strong influence on how people move and interact with the environment. This paper presents the Social-Aware Driver Assistance System (SADAS) approach to integrate this information into traffic systems. It relies on a domain-specific modelling language for social contexts and their changes. Specifications compliant with it describe social and system information, their links, and how to process them. Traffic social properties are the formalization within the language of relevant knowledge extracted from literature to interpret information. A multi-agent system architecture manages these specifications and additional processing resources. A SADAS can be connected to other parts of traffic systems by means of subscription-notification mechanisms. The case study to illustrate the approach applies social knowledge to predict people’s movements. It considers a distributed system for obstacle detection and tracking, and the intelligent management of traffic signals., Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO), Comunidad de Madrid/FEDER, Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (MECD), Universidad Complutense de Madrid/Banco de Santander, Depto. de Ingeniería de Software e Inteligencia Artificial (ISIA), Fac. de Informática, TRUE, pub

Shared space avser ofta en yta som är gemensam för oskyddade och skyddade trafikanter och som ska inbjuda till ett levande stadsrum för alla. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur unga, medelålders och äldre upplever shared space utifrån ett fotgängarperspektiv. Syftet var vidare att undersöka om, och i så fall hur, en alternativ utformning av ytan (med eller utan stora blomkrukor utplacerade) påverkar deras upplevelse. I studien kombinerades två olika metoder: en ögonrörelsestudie och en Q-studie. Q-Metoden är en metod som används inom psykologi och samhällsvetenskap för att studera människors ”subjektivitet” - det vill säga deras åsikter som i detta fall att vara fotgängare på Fiskaretorget i Västervik. Totalt 37 deltagare, uppdelat på de tre åldersklasserna, deltog i studien som genomfördes på Fiskaretorget och ett angränsande icke-signalreglerat övergångsställe i Västervik. Ungefär hälften av deltagarna genomförde försöket med och hälften utan stora blomkrukor utplacerade på torget. Resultaten av ögonrörelsestudien visar att medelålders tycktes uppleva en ökad riskmedvetenhet i avsaknad av den traditionella uppdelningen mellan oskyddade och skyddade trafikanter. Unga och äldre tittade däremot ungefär lika mycket på trafikrelevanta föremål, oavsett om det fanns stora blomkrukor utplacerade eller inte. Samtidigt visar Q-studien att fotgängare, oavsett ålder, inte upplevde någon större osäkerhet på denna typ av gemensamhetsytor. Den upplevda osäkerheten som trots allt fanns, minskades med de stora blomkrukor som återskapade den traditionella uppdelningen med tydliga zoner eller stråk där fotgängare kan vistas i ett relativt bilfritt område medan motorfordonen får tydliga stråk att färdas längs. Utifrån dessa resultat rekommenderar vi att man, istället för shared spaces, utformar gemensamhetsytor med tydliga säkerhetszoner där fotgängare kan vistas i ett relativt bilfritt område., A shared space, in the context of road transport, often refers to an area that is shared by unprotected and protected road users and is intended to facilitate a living city space for everyone. The purpose of this study was to investigate how young, middle-aged and elderly people experience shared space from a pedestrian perspective, but also to investigate whether, and if so, how an alternative design of the area (with or without large flower pots) affects their experience. In the study, two different methods were combined; an eye tracking study and a Q-study. The Q method is a research method that is used in psychology and social sciences to investigate people's subjective views on a particular matter, phenomenon or topic. In this study, the Q method is used to investigate pedestrian experiences of two different design configurations - with or without large flower pots deployed - on the Fiskaretorget (eng. Fisherman’s Square) in Västervik. A total of 37 participants, divided into the three age groups, participated in the study, which was carried out at the Fiskaretorget and an adjacent non-signal-regulated pedestrian crossing in Västervik. About half of the participants carried out the experiment with, and half without large flower pots placed on the square. The results of the eye tracking study show that middle-aged pedestrians seemed to experience increased risk awareness, in the absence of the traditional division between unprotected and protected road users. Young and older, on the other hand, looked about the same amount of traffic-related objects, regardless of whether there were large flower pots placed or not. At the same time, the Q-study shows that pedestrians, regardless of age, did not experience any great uncertainty on this type of common areas. The perceived uncertainty, which nevertheless existed, was further reduced with large flower pots that recreated the traditional division with clear zones or stretches, pedestrians can stay in a relatively car

Shared Space und Begegnungszonen fanden in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Anklang und wurden in vielen Städten und Gemeinden umgesetzt. Daher beschäftigt sich diese Masterar-beit mit der Fragestellung, welche Vor- und Nachteile die bereits umgesetzten Beispiele her-vorgebracht haben und wie dieses Wissen auf eine konkrete Umsetzung in der „Lange Straße“ in Lohfelden, Deutschland anzuwenden ist. Ziel ist es, die Begriffe Shared Space und Begeg-nungszone in ihrer Vielfalt zu erklären, die Erfahrungen von bereits geplanten und gebauten Shared Space zusammenzutragen und auszuwerten sowie am Ende diese Erkenntnisse in eine Studie eines Shared Space in der „Lange Straße“ in Lohfelden einzubauen. Für den theoretischen Teil wird eine Literaturrecherche im deutschsprachigen Raum durchge-führt und exemplarisch 16 Beispiele aus den Niederlanden, der Schweiz, Österreich und Deutschland von Shared Space oder Begegnungszonen analysiert und bewertet. Die Erkennt-nisse aus dem theoretischen Teil werden daraufhin in die Planung und den praktischen Teil der Umsetzung eingearbeitet. Der erste Teil der praktischen Umsetzung umfasst eine Bestandsaufnahme der jetzigen Situ-ation in ihrer Gänze, inklusive der Erstellung eines Lageplanes und der Beschreibung und Bewertung durch verschiedene Checklisten. Das Untersuchungsgebiet wird mit den Beispie-len aus dem theoretischen Teil verglichen und Parallelen dargestellt. Der zweite Teil beinhaltet die Umplanung der „Lange Straße“ zu einem Shared Space. Es wird eine Studie erstellt, in welcher die Maßnahmen beschrieben sowie verschiedene Lagepläne und Querschnitte zur Visualisierung angefertigt werden., Shared space and “Begegnungszonen” have become more and more popular in the last years and have been implemented in many cities and communities. In this master thesis, the ques-tion is of which advantages and disadvantages the already implemented examples have pro-duced, and how this knowledge can be applied to a concrete implementation in the “Lange Straße” in Lohfelden, Germany. The aim was to explain the terms “shared space” and “Be-gegnungszone” in their diversity, to compile and evaluate the experiences of already planned and built shared spaces, and to incorporate these findings into a study of a shared space in the “Lange Straße” in Lohfelden. For the theoretical section of this thesis, a literature search is conducted in German-speaking countries. 16 examples from the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Germany of shared space or “Begegnungszonen” were analyzed and evaluated. These findings are then incorpo-rated into the planning and practical section of the project. The first section of the practical application comprises an inventory of the current situation in its entirety, including the creation of a site plan and the description and evaluation using various checklists. The study area is compared with examples from the theoretical portion and parallels are presented. The second section contains the redesigning of the “Lange Straße” to a shared space. A study is prepared in which the measures are described, and various site plans and cross-sections are prepared for visualization., Christopher Grodde, B.Sc., Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers, Universität Innsbruck, Masterarbeit, 2019, (VLID)4350676

Unga och äldre tittade däremot ungefär lika mycket på trafikrelevanta föremål, oavsett om det fanns stora blomkrukor utplacerade eller inte. Samtidigt visar Q-studien att fotgängare, oavsett ålder, inte upplevde någon större osäkerhet på denna typ av gemensamhetsytor. Den upplevda osäkerheten som trots allt fanns, minskades med de stora blomkrukor som återskapade den traditionella uppdelningen med tydliga zoner eller stråk där fotgängare kan vistas i ett relativt bilfritt område medan motorfordonen får tydliga stråk att färdas längs. Utifrån dessa resultat rekommenderar vi att man, istället för shared spaces, utformar gemensamhetsytor med tydliga säkerhetszoner där fotgängare kan vistas i ett relativt bilfritt område., A shared space, in the context of road transport, often refers to an area that is shared by unprotected and protected road users and is intended to facilitate a living city space for everyone. The purpose of this study was to investigate how young, middle-aged and elderly people experience shared space from a pedestrian perspective, but also to investigate whether, and if so, how an alternative design of the area (with or without large flower pots) affects their experience. In the study, two different methods were combined; an eye tracking study and a Q-study. The Q method is a research method that is used in psychology and social sciences to investigate people's subjective views on a particular matter, phenomenon or topic. In this study, the Q method is used to investigate pedestrian experiences of two different design configurations - with or without large flower pots deployed - on the Fiskaretorget (eng. Fisherman’s Square) in Västervik. A total of 37 participants, divided into the three age groups, participated in the study, which was carried out at the Fiskaretorget and an adjacent non-signal-regulated pedestrian crossing in Västervik. About half of the participants carried out the experiment with, and half without large flower pots placed on the square. The results of the eye tracking study show that middle-aged pedestrians seemed to experience increased risk awareness, in the absence of the traditional division between unprotected and protected road users. Young and older, on the other hand, looked about the same amount of traffic-related objects, regardless of whether there were large flower pots placed or not. At the same time, the Q-study shows that pedestrians, regardless of age, did not experience any great uncertainty on this type of common areas. The perceived uncertainty, which nevertheless existed, was further reduced with large flower pots that recreated the traditional division with clear zones or stretches, pedestrians can stay in a relatively car

This piece of work aims at gaining a better understanding of how cognitive and sensual experiences takes place when we interact within the social encounter processes of shared spaces. The structure of this thesis starts off with a theoretical review based on the aspects of social encounters divided into the following areas: affect theory, the ideal of sympathy, and situated multiplicity. These three chosen focus areas aims to cover some of the different perspectives towards the scope of social encounters. Thereafter a synthesis of the main concepts covering the diverse perspectives on social encounters has been made into a set of guidelines. These set of featuring guidelines is then visualized into specific spatial qualities and tested out on the case study of the parking lot of Lund Central Station. This exploration of the guidelines within the case study is carried through as a means of investigating its potential to generate social encounters through the means of creating to some extent a sense of affect and sympathy among the commuting citizens., This piece of work aims at gaining a better understanding of how cognitive and sensual experiences takes place when we interact within the social encounter processes of shared spaces.

Though the concept of shared spaces had been known in Groupware and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) for quite a while, it did not become popular until the arrival of the Internet and social software. Implicitly, the concept of shared spaces has penetrated many IT-areas, including the area of Business Process Management. Though shared spaces are used in many systems and tools, like Google Drive and Projectplace, there is a lack of research investigating this usage in a generic way. The article aims to fill this gap by introducing a generic model of a Business Process Support (BPS) system based on shared space that supports the comparison, analysis and design of BPS systems. In addition, the article goes in more details on one design issue – the structuring of shared spaces. This is done by analyzing and comparing two different BPS systems that exploit the concept of shared spaces, though implicitly. These systems use different approaches to shared space structuring. The first one organizes the information by grouping similar types of items without regard to the flow of activities in a business process, while the other organizes the information around groups of activities that are usually completed as a block. Which model to choose in a particular situation depends on the characteristics of the business process and its participants. In order to facilitate this choice, the article offers a number of guidelines derived from the experience of using the two BPS systems in practice. The article also discusses in what circumstances BPS systems with shared spaces are preferable to traditional workflow BPS systems.
