Environment Behavior Research on a Systemic Topic

Erin Lilli, PhD

Eve Klein, M.Arch, M.Phil, Visiting Lecturer, Pratt Institute

In this project you will explore a systemic topic through Environmental Behavior Research. This project includes a presentation and a paper on a topic that should address an issue that bridges societal concerns and physical spaces (like climate change, anti-racism, social gatherings in the time of COVID-19, daily living/working in the time of COVID-19, religious worship, health and wellness, etc.) This project will include data collection (environment behavior research that can be safely conducted with physical distancing OR using existing data sets), scholarly research, and written analysis. A recommended intervention or proposal for change is optional.

Greenspace Observation

Erin Lilli, PhD

Dr. Jennifer Pipitone, College of Mount Saint Vincent & Dr. Tahia Devisscher, University of British Colombia, Vancouver

You will explore to what extent these behaviors are observed in greenspaces common to urban environments. You will also gain insights into possible ways to improve urban greenspace so it can be more effective at increasing physical activity and supporting other aspects of well-being in the population.
