Since 2019, women and mobility have increasingly been the topic of various media formats, events and politics. The core message of the debates is always: "Women move differently than men". But what does that mean exactly? How can the different mobility behaviour be explained and what does this mean for (planning the) transport transition?
Here are the slides for the presentation at KONRAD21 as a pdf-file and a detailed list of recommended readings on the topics of transformation, change, transport transition, pop-up bike lanes and their effects, and psychological resources for sustainability.
It was one year ago that the first pop-up bike lane was established in Berlin at Hallesches Ufer. Many more followed - especially in the district Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Air quality measurements on Kottbusser Damm show that cyclists are now exposed to less air pollution in the form of nitrogen dioxide (NOâ‚‚) than before the pop-up bike lanes were set up - regardless of the pandemic.
Especially in cities, public space is a scarce resource and different user groups claim this space. In the inner city of Berlin, less than half of the households have a car and the majority of daily trips (82%) are made by walking, cycling, or usage of public transport (source: SrV 2013). Therefore, the question arises how public space can be designed in the context of the transport transition to benefit as many people as possible and to promote active mobility.
At the end of January, Katharina Götting, psychologist and doctoral candidate with EXPERI, organised an internal training for all EXPERI team members. She illustrated the use of different methods and tools for teaching and implementing workshops online. The question of how digital trainings can be moderated in an interactive and engaging way comes up again and again.
The number of traffic fatalities in Germany has decreased significantly compared to today since a peak of 21,332 in 1970. In 2019, the figure was 3046, and in 2020 it is expected to be less than 3000 for the first time. This figure is a political and social success. This reduction in road deaths can be attributed to various factors.
As Eckert introduced, her own research experiences with "failed" interviews led her and her colleague Diana Cichecki from Freiburg to deal with this phenomenon on a methodological and research practice level.
Thanks to modern cargo bikes and bike trailers, about half of all motorised trips for transporting goods (69% private / 31% commercial) in European cities could be shifted to bicycles.
