Online Research Forum: Coming Closer – Methods for Walking Research on the Ground and in the Mind
Welcome to a VREF Research Forum where we will hear and discuss presentations on a wide range of topics within the area of movement on foot. For this Forum we will particularly explore and discuss the ways in which walking practices and experiences can be collected, analysed and understood. Which methodological approaches allow researchers to grasp users’ perceptions while moving on foot? How can the combination of different methods and material deepen our understanding of people’s everyday movements?
