Hidden Connections, Shared Environments and Environmental Flows - how local walking interventions induce community positivity in urban locations.

该项目包括一项试点研究，探索干预措施的影响，包括举办一系列“自述步行”，人们发现该技术可以作为催化剂，促进深层次的环境和感官参与，从而以极其积极的方式使个人的生活事件、文化和当地环境特征之间的表面联系显现出来。这项工作的总体目标是促进社区连通性，突出现有当地景观及其特征的不同层次的互动、意义和身份。工作是在跨学科背景（建筑、触觉、福祉和艺术实践）中与当地社区团体和国际景观实践合作进行的。将对研究结果进行评估，以帮助为未来的研究提供信息，包括对社区的影响、更广泛的福祉议程、艺术与设计实践以及相关政策领域。

This project consists of a pilot study which explores the impact of an intervention, consisting of the holding of a seriers of 'self narrated walks', where the technique has been found to act as a catalyst promoting deep levels of environmental and sensory engagement which bring to the surface linkages between individuals' life events, culture and local environmental features in ways that can be extremely positive. The overall aim of the work is to promote community connectivity in bringing to the fore the different layers of interaction, meaning and identity which are placed upon the existing local landscape and its features. Work is set in a cross disciplinary context (architecture, haptics, well-being and art practice) with collaboration with a local community group and an international landscape practice. The findings will be assessed to help inform future research, including the implications for community, the wider well-being agenda, art & design practice and associated policyareas.
