With its access to a broad network of experts through the I FP member organization and the IFP network, IFPresearch can tap both in the general knowledge about pedestriansand walking, and in the local specific knowledge in countries within and outside the EU.  \nTheir work covers a range of subjects from improving pedestrian rights at a global scale, raising awareness on the issues that affect pedestrians and generating new knowledge to advance a more walkable society.  \nJUST STREETS  \nThe JUST STREETS project focuses on ( re)developing streets shaped by active mobility that are both sustainable and inclusive for all citizens.  \nThe 32 international partners collaborate to empower 12 cities in transforming existing streets into just, equal, and human-centered spaces for active mobility.

But many of these decisions have overlooked the voices of people who walk those streets every day.  \nStill today, the lived experience of children, older adults, women, migrants or people using mobility aids is missing from the conversation. The result?  \nStreets that function on paper but fail in practice.  \nThe International Federation of Pedestrians (IFP) is committed to inclusive, just, and walkable cities. To support this goal, IFP offers a suite of participatory tools that foreground the lived experiences of pedestrians, particularly those who are often underrepresented in decision-making processes. These tools are grounded in feminist urbanism, mobility justice, and principles of co-creation. One of these tools is the walkalong interview.  \nFrom planning about people to planning with people  \nWalk-along interviews are essentially interviews on the move. The researcher accompanies one or more participants along their routes and asks open questions while walking. This approach generates rich, spatially grounded stories. Conversations might happen that would not have come up in a static interview because when we move and engage with our surroundings and think about them, our minds are more receptive to sharing (Carpiano, 2009).  \nImportantly, walk-along interview","cbCaia2PyxOPSp0O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia2PyxOPSp0O","pdf",19327053,18,"English","# introduction to walking interviews\n## before: preparation before meeting the participants\n## purpose & people\n## format\n## equipment\n## before: preparation with the participants consent, route & environment\n## during\n### document spatial context-walk & talk\n## end the conversation-repeat\n## after\n### mapping & transcribing\n## conclusion\n## annex","[{\"question\":\"What is a walk-along interview?\",\"answer\":\"A walk-along interview is a qualitative method where a researcher accompanies a participant along a real-life walking route and conducts an open interview while moving through space.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the guide intended for?\",\"answer\":\"The guide is intended for planners, researchers, advocates, local authorities, and community organisations that want to include pedestrians’ lived experiences in urban decision-making.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are walking interviews useful for urban planning?\",\"answer\":\"Walking interviews foreground knowledge that is often invisible in traditional desk-based processes, addressing gaps in who is included in planning conversations and improving practical street outcomes.\"}]","walk-along interviews - introduction to walking interviews | PDF",1792803153,45]
