Examining the Impact of Learning Strategies on Developing Sustainable Mobility Mindsets: a Systems Approach
Authors: ,
Abstract: In this paper we examine how a shift in mindsets of people is affected by various learning strategies. A systems approach is utilized whereby the main parameters and variables are drawn in a System Dynamics (SD) model to cultivate a sustainable mobility culture. The proposed SD model can then evaluate various strategies by applying sensitivity analysis in a computer simulated environment. Specifically, by varying important parameters and measuring the speed of learning and adoption of a sustainable mobility mindset. The model also evaluates the strategy of introducing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to accelerate the diffusion process. The diffusion process passes through the stages of knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and confirmation based on the implemented strategies. The expected outcome is that the results will be useful for policy makers in smart cities who aim to promote a sustainable mobility culture by increasing the number of people who walk or are engaged in active mobility.
