Anja Jutra*, Tadeja ZupančičFaculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show how we can influence urban mobility through public participation. On the
one hand, this article focuses on exploring opinions of the public and professionals’ opinions regarding public participation
(willingness to be involved, when and where they want to be involved etc.), and, on the other hand, it also deals with
exploring traditional and digital methods and tools for public engagement (urban experiments, urban interventions, Virtual
World Terf). More specifically, it focuses on exploring the role of users in urban mobility. Quantitative and qualitative research
methods have been used for the purposes of this article (case study, survey and semi-structured interviews). The final
part of this article offers guidelines for future development of methods and tools for public engagement, especially
concerning the Terf Virtual World.
Keywords: Urban mobility, public engagement, urban design, urban interventions, digital tools, Virtual World Terf.
