Abstract

This research investigates how a greater understanding of leisure walking can be used to support the personalisation and curation of new leisure walking experiences. Existing solutions are often limited in the range of routing properties a user has access to. The purpose of this research is to explore a richer understanding of how, what, why, and where leisure walkers engage with walks. Through a grounded theory approach combining a walking behaviour survey, a think-aloud study, and an expert interview study, a framework for personalising leisure walking route recommendations has been designed. The remaining work includes finalising the development of a web-based GIS demonstrator system for curating personalised routes and conducting an evaluation of this approach.
