Overview

I am interested to receive proposals from students focussed on older adults experiences of the pedestrian environment.

Possible focus areas include:

  • The design of transport networks (e.g crossing times) and how they are suited to the needs of an ageing population
  • Outdoor falls and fear of falling among older adults
  • Gender and fear of falling

No specific funding is available for this project at this stage. Applicants must apply for a University of Otago scholarship or have external funding.
