Complexity Maps

QUESTIONS:

How do local people move about in the area and where are they trying to get to? Where do people work? Are people using public transport? With all the planned changes how will this impact their future travel possibilities? Who is responsible for planning these sort of things? How will the people who use the Golf Course get there? What impact will this have on the local area? How is mobility affecting the local sense of place and quality of life? What do people think should be done? How can we work with the other mobility workshop taking place?

Method

1. COLLECT: get an insight into the factors that shape the transport context of this particular space

2. VISUALISE: visualise the network focussed on mobility

3. ANALYSE: use the visualisation to identify potentials and risks for the particular actors

4. PROPOSE: propose an improved way to re-think mobility in the area

(Note that 2&3 are an iterative loop)

SUGGESTIONS:

You may want to design a quantitative and qualitative questionnaire to start to collect some data in the local area. Mobility is very different for particular groups of people. Think broadly about what mobility might mean and don’t get stuck into trying to do traffic planning.

OUTCOMES:

A final visualisation that:

1 Gives an insight into your process

2 Communicates your insights clearly to our project partner as well as the local residents and a broader intersted audience
