    How to – comprehensively – collect and depict data on conditions for sustainable transport in rural areas? The approach of the Austrian R&D project “AlltagsSPUREN”

    The Austrian cooperative research project AlltagsSPUREN (loosely translated everydayTRACES) aims on developing tools supporting smaller (rural) municipalities in promoting sustainable and active mobility using quantitative and qualitative data gathering methods together with analysis and activation tools. These online and offline based tools will enable to examine the status quo, the demanding situation and the municipal potential regarding sustainable and active mobility. The tools will be tested in selected municipalities. The project focuses especially on encouraging a more active using of sustainable transport modes in everyday life also taking factors of social inclusion into account. Barriers as well as supporting conditions for walking and cycling and other forms of active mobility are addressed within this project. A special focus is set on the local experience and inclusion of socio-economic groups that are usually marginalized in recent mobility projects. The project addresses local decision-makers and aims to contribute to the pre- and early phase of mobility planning, in order to strengthen knowledge and competence to remove barriers for promoting more sustainable and active mobility. In particular, the project focuses on data provided at local and regional level that can depict mobility conditions comprehensively with minimum effort. Furthermore, it is of interest how this data can be used for reliable scenarios of future mobility demands and determine which strategies can influence this development. The project team covers a broad range of knowledge and skills in the areas of diversity-orientated transport and landscape planning as well as mobility management and environmental informatics. This paper gives an insight in the first preliminary results.

    Tailor-made Energy Consulting for Private Households, The approach of the Austrian R&D project “EnBe2.0”
    (EnviroInfo & ICT4S, Adjunct Proceedings, 2015) Knoll, Bente; Spreitzer, Georg
    Energy consulting for private households can make a significant contribution to achieving energy efficiency targets. The extent to which these targets can be validated, however, depends to a large degree on the consideration of the individual demands of the consulted people and/or households. Not only do socioeconomic, environmental and structural factors like income, climate or living space have an impact on the effectiveness of energy consulting but also the consideration of peoples habits, needs, preferences, values, attitudes etc. Due to the fact that the common practice of energy consulting is insufficient in terms of taking into account household and end-use energy consumer related factors, energy savings gained through energy consulting for private households have, as a result, been unsatisfactory. To achieve more energy savings with the help of energy consulting the R&D-project EnBe2.0 was launched and has been carried out by an interdisciplinary consortium in Austria. The aim of the project EnBe2.0 is to develop an energy saving tool (EnBe2.0-Toolbox) that meets the multifaceted requirements of end-use energy consumers and assists energy consultants with target-group orientated energy consulting practices for private households. This paper gives an overview of the EnBe2.0 project and highlights the projects bottom-up and participatory approach.
