In a first stage we will try to understand the current barriers to active travel for children travelling to school by mapping the routes of the children by accompanying them from school to home. By using the walk-along and cycle-along technique we will either walk or cycle along with the children in their own environment. This will enable the students to get detailed information on how the children experience, see, hear, feel and interact with their environment during their route from school to home. Through mapping techniques these routes and barriers will be visualized. Tactical interventions; hard- and orgware through a collaborative design process In a second stage we will seek for (temporary) tactical interventions in the built environment through a collaborative design process to promote and stimulate active travel to school. Besides physical interventions (hardware) alsoorganisational mechanisms (orgware) are explored based on the barriers that were identified in the mapping process.
