This event will showcase environmental psychology methods to the general public through guided walks. We will start by gathering in the Botanical Garden (Södra Plan) with an introduction to our research and then we will split into three smaller groups and start the walks.

About the research group:

Environmental psychology studies how people experience their environment and are affected by it, and how they through their own behavior, affect the environment. The subject deals with both the physical and the social environment and the interaction between them. It can be interiors, urban spaces or landscapes. The research is usually holistic, but also individual environmental factors are studied.

Speakers:

• Maria Johansson, Professor in Environmental Psychology
• Pimkamol Mattsson, Associate Senior Lecturer in Environmental Psychology
• Hanna Andersson, Postdoctoral fellow in Environmental Psychology
• Marlis Wullenkord, Postdoctoral Fellow in Environmental Psychology
• Zeynep Ekim Olsson, Doctoral student in Environmental Psychology
• Georgios Tsiakiris, Doctoral student in Environmental Psychology
• Anna Litsmark, Doctoral student in Environmental Psychology

Audience: 

The general public, by addressing their different roles in the urban environment (pedestrians, cyclists, urban users etc).

The audience will not participate in an official field study; this is an informal activity to simulate our methods in environmental psychology and to present our findings.

Other info: 

The language of the activity will be a mix of Swedish and English.

No registration needed.

This event is part of Sustainability Week 2024, an annual event organized in collaboration between Lund University and Lund Municipality. In this year's program April 8-13, you will find lectures, workshops, guided tours, exhibitions, and more.
