MOBILAB · ACTION RESEARCH
Investigate
to change direction.
How can we reduce car dependence without ignoring everyday constraints? We investigate with the people affected, put options to the test and document what enables decisions.
Action research combines understanding a situation with the possibility of changing it. Residents, local stakeholders and researchers compare their knowledge, constraints and disagreements.
Start from lived experience.
Describe journeys, listen to the people affected and distinguish facts, interpretations and uncertainties.
Open up the options.
Examine several responses, their costs, conditions and effects. The conclusion remains open.
Learn from the field.
An experiment may lead to continuing, adapting, suspending or stopping. We keep a record of the reasons for these decisions.
Keep track,
together.
Mobilab is also a collaborative platform that aims to connect the situations studied, sources, contributions and decisions. Partners can access the context of the work and follow its development.
Shared work
Use cases bring together observations and disagreements. Milestones specify responsibilities and deadlines. Document versions preserve the history of collective work.
Each member has personal access linked to their organisation, territory and role.
