Abstract:
In this paper we present a work in progress analysis of a leisure
walking behaviour survey that focuses on walkers’ habits and experiences.
We are specifically interested in the use of mobile tracking applications in
this context to help design and deploy future technologies that can better
support engaging leisure walks through synthesising previous behaviours
and experiences. This survey collected 329 responses relating to selfreported
walking behaviour patterns and mobile activity tracker use. In the
emerging analysis we identified design considerations for future walkingfocused
applications, emphasizing the subjective and personal nature of
walking routes.
