Transport touches all of our lives every day. The transport system is a key enabler of the things we do and a fundamental component of the economy. But it has some very undesirable side-effects on the global and local environment, public health, safety, and quality of life in general. And so policy makers have been trying, in some cases for decades, to modify transport behaviour accordingly.

This module will provide a compelling insight into the state of the art of transport behaviour change, both well-established practices (such as speed limits) and relatively new ones (such as personal travel planning). And it will encourage you as a student to take the practice forward by applying your knowledge of behaviour change theory to the development of an intervention.
Each lecture will include case studies to illustrate topics and provide the basis for discussion and critique.
Topics will include:

How behaviour change fits into the governance of transport
	Typology of audiences and interventions
	The range of behaviour-change theories applied in transport
	“The four Es”: education, engineering, enforcement and economy
	Evaluation – theory and practicalities

Space Syntax Methodology and Analytical Design (BARC0024)

Space Syntax Methodology and Analytical Design provides a well-defined methodology for the description and analysis of form-function relations in architecture at all scales from the individual dwelling to the urban region. It introduces 'space syntax' research methods aimed at investigating spatial morphology and its social implications by a practical, hands-on programme of lectures and workshops, supported by a wide range of specialist learning materials. The emphasis is on space syntax as an innovative paradigm of evidence-based enquiry in which students learn how to experiment and test spatial hypotheses and think strategically about the role of spatial configuration in the design process and in relation to pressing questions such as the sustainability of the built environment.

A series of lectures based on case-study examples will showcase how these methods have been deployed in architectural practice. The curriculum combines grounded qualitative methods with quantitative descriptive methods of spatial and configurational analysis and observation, to answer specific questions relating to the built environment.
