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

该项目由一项探索干预影响的试点研究组成，包括一系列“自我叙述的散步”，该技术被发现可以作为促进深层环境和感官参与的催化剂，以非常积极的方式将个人生活事件、文化和当地环境特征之间的联系带到表面。该项目的总体目标是促进社区的连通性，将不同层次的互动、意义和身份置于现有的当地景观及其特征之上。工作设置在跨学科背景下（建筑，触觉，福祉和艺术实践），与当地社区团体和国际景观实践合作。研究结果将被评估，以帮助为未来的研究提供信息，包括对社区、更广泛的福祉议程、艺术与设计实践以及相关政策领域的影响。

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.
