@talkingcities: Do men and women experience walking differently? Evidence from the study “Gender-Based Heat Map Images of College Campus Walking Settings” (Chaney et al., 2024) suggests that we do #urbanplanning #urbandesign #publichealth

🇨🇦 :

We do not experience the world the same

Saf :

i looked around IMMEDIATELY

kerarity :

I was literally getting annoyed that the pics weren’t on the screen long enough for me to scan for danger

We are forced to exist in a state of hyper vigilance/:

What a good idea for a study. I hope they do this study again with a bigger and more random sample!

user0028383747494849494848 :

& why do you think that is?

Acidbwerk :

We’ve been so hurt

clips :

'this suggests' that we're alert all the time? yes

Be interesting to see this study expanded to see if there are any patterns from socio-economic, racial, religious/secular demographics and how they perceive these spaces.

I immediately identified the open area as the bigger risk vs the staircase and then you said you’d expect the staircase to be worse…

Mary Kate :

New study is out: water is wet

Michelle :

I immediately looked at the foliage on either side of the stairs and went "nuh-uh"

godv :

It is actually so sad.

TalkingCities :

This difference is something that many people understand through experience, but it’s super valuable to see it represented in data as well

D🫶🏼 :

If anything- I’d say it being a familiar college campus adds to the studies validity! I get it’s generally considered a limitation- but for theoretical purposes, being somewhere familiar means we could expect people to look at the path ahead regardless of gender due to knowing where the person is walking. We can rule out looking around for the purpose of being lost/finding where the person needs to go, which further lends to the validity of womens’ pattern of scanning for safety.

lannyloulou🇬🇧 :

I didn’t even realise that I looked around until you mentioned it 😳 fuck

It’sMEEEE :

I also scanned the area

Babygirl :

And water is wet

Mohcine :

High quality content, keep it up man

•buggedout[49%]• :

I got a chill up my spine at the open spaces.

Sunder :

The larger question is how does this change our brains and how do those changes effect the brains structure and processes? There's so much more to study and dive into with these limited results.

Edelvice (Lucy) :

It also heavily depends on the country. What was the studied country?

Frakshel :

This is so interesting thank you for making this video
