Call for Abstracts
TUO 3 – Third Workshop on Time Use Observatory

March  21 – 23, 2012

Santiago de Chile


The Complex Engineering Systems Institute, ISCI, would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the third version of the TUO workshop.


Presentation

 

This workshop continues with the successful TUO workshop series held in 2009 and 2010, where we had rewarding discussions about aspects such as time use patterns, data collection and methods of analysis, from theoretical and applied perspectives, including applications from different urban areas of the world. We believe that a proper understanding of travel behaviour involves the need to study the explicit decision processes of time assignment of daily activities, challenging our current theories, data, and methods.

 

In this new version of the TUO workshop, we feel is relevant to review the basic contents of past research on Time Use from all viewpoints, in order to focus on new paradigms that should emerge to improve our understanding of the relations between Transport and Time Use. We expect to receive a variety of contributions along these lines, which will be organized around central discussion topics as data collection experiences, new theoretical approaches, and empirical results, which could highlight new venues on time use research.

 

Please send your abstract no later than October 15. You will receive an answer regarding acceptance at the workshop by November 15.
