- ItemMemorias, ciudad y planificación: una exploración urbana de Santiago a cincuenta años del Golpe Militar(2023) Vecchio, Giovanni; Matus Madrid, ChristianSe presentan reflexiones y aprendizajes generados en una clase abierta realizada en el marco del curso de Exploraciones Urbanas, titulada “Memorias urbanas para el futuro: una exploración de Santiago en el contexto de los cincuenta años”. La clase constituye una práctica pensada para llegar a un público amplio, a través de una exploración urbana que tiene como objetivo recuperar la memoria de diferentes momentos de la historia del urbanismo y la planificación de Santiago. Estos momentos son rescatados en un contexto de reflexión que permite problematizar la ciudad actual reconociendo cómo se construye a partir de diferentes capas de sentido que se contraponen, producto de la disputa de diferentes actores y visiones de ciudad. Se abordan en el recorrido la memoria de las transformaciones que se han generado en los espacios de la ciudad, y cómo influyen en las formas que la vida ciudadana adquiere en el espacio urbano, teniendo consecuencias permanentes en las formas de comprender la vida en común.
- ItemSerious games and transport justice: Examining redistributive issues through classification and dictator games(2024) Vecchio, GiovanniIntroduction: Serious games can provide an important contribution to grasp how people perceivecertain social issues related to transport and what factors are more relevant for them. The paperexamines the use of serious games as tools to understand how citizens perceive possible inequalities related to urban mobility and what factors they consider relevant for (re)distributingresources among different social groups experiencing such inequalities.Methods: Two serious games, a classification game and a dictator game, are applied in Santiago deChile, a city characterised by significant inequalities that affect also transport. The games aretested in seven focus groups involving 33 participants, arranged according to their socioeconomicconditions. In the games, participants have to rank six fictional characters and distribute amongthem resources to finance their mobility needs.Results: Participants tend to privilege socioeconomic variables such as income, rather thanconsidering other significant individual features or the actual mobility needs of different characters. The resources are distributed focusing on the characters perceived as disadvantaged. Suchperception of mobility-related inequalities does not show significant differences between participants from different social backgrounds.Conclusions: Serious games can be helpful to anticipate how the general public may perceivecontroversial policy measures and to plan measures to avoid discontent, providing relevant elements to enhance the social acceptability of certain transport policy decisions. Their relevance issignificant in the face of pressing societal issues, also in relation to health, although theirimplementation can be quite time- and money-consuming.
- ItemWomen’s mobilities and perceived safety: urban form matters. Evidence from three peripheral districts in the city of Bogotá(Routledge, 2023) Pucci, Paola; Vecchio, Giovanni; Gallego Vega, Erika AndreaThe paper aims at investigating the interplay of urban form and women’s mobilities in three peripheral districts in the city of Bogotá. Integrating a morpho-functional analysis of the built environment with an ethnographic analysis focused on the walking practices of a sample of women, the paper highlights the main gendered spatial experiences and how the perceived safety acts as a mediator between built environment attributes and walking behaviours. The conclusion introduces two challenges: first, the need for new interpretative lenses, different from those of a man-centred perspective and able to interpret the women’s territoriality–considered as the spaces produced through their mobility practices; second, the possibility to use women’s mobilities experiences and their tactics of adaptation as a tool for more effective urban and mobility policies.
