Brief summary of project
A small exploratory study testing the use of a walking-specific app (Go Jauntly) for the analysis of associations between walking environments and perceptions. The study was conducted in the Global South (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and the Global North (Bristol, UK and Auckland, New Zealand). This was a collaboration between three universities (UWE, Auckland University of Technology, and Universidad Nacional de San Martin in Buenos Aires Argentina) and two private companies: Go Jauntly (developing the app) and Tranquil City (providing data analytics). The project was funded by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundation (VREF).

Ethical Statement: | Data were obtained in a fully anonymised form, from the company developing the app through which the data were collected (Go Jauntly). Data are participants' responses provided during walks made using the app (e.g. "How pleasant was this walk?"). The data contain basic demographics (age group, gender, disability) but no identifiable data such as contact or place of residence. The data does not contain any geo-location data. | ||||
