Abstract

This work examines the use of maps for knowledge elicitation in the sphere of urban cycling. The study involved running 14 distinct workshops, each serving as a unique data collection session for a particular individual. In each workshop, the participant was provided with 12 different renditions of the geographical areas as well as drawing materials. The geographical area renditions contained regions specified by the participant as cycling locations during the preparatory correspondence. The outputs were analysed for patterns in map augmentations and thematic content in the sketches. We have found that participants engaged deeply with the map augmentation process expressing their preferences and giving new insights. Themes such as connectivity, scenic beauty, and temporality emerged prominently from the analysed data, shedding light on the subjective experiences and preferences of urban cyclists.
