E-PABS Thursday seminar: Dan Andersson's pre-dissertation on commuters' route environments and walking

Welcome to a seminar with Dan Andersson ahead of his upcoming dissertation with the thesis "Exploratory analyses of perceptions of route environments in relation to walking".

About the seminar

In his thesis, Dan Andersson has investigated how different environmental variables, such as greenery, noise and beauty, are perceived by those who commute on foot in Greater Stockholm. These experiences have in turn been analyzed in relation to whether the routes are valued as obstructive or stimulating for walking, or unsafe or safe in relation to traffic.

In this seminar there is a chance to take part in Dance's research studies and ask questions and give input in preparation for the dissertation.

The English title of the thesis is "Exploring Perceptions of Route Environments in Relation to Walking". Main supervisor is Professor Peter Schantz at GIH, and co-supervisors are Lina Wahlgren at the Centre for Sport Research and Associate Professor Eva Andersson at GIH.

The dissertation will take place on March 22 at 9:00 a.m. in GIH's auditorium.
