Doctoral thesis defence Dan Andersson

In his doctoral project, Dan Andersson has examined how various environmental variables, such as greenery, noise, and aesthetics, are perceived by those who commute on foot in Greater Stockholm. These experiences have, in turn, been analyzed about whether the walking routes are appraised as hindering or stimulating for walking and unsafe or safe about traffic.
