| Inclusive Mobility in Quebec Conference: perceived accessibility and narrative ethnography | June 11, 2024 | Virtual over Zoom | Over the past two years, two ethnographic studies have been conducted using narrative interviews, life stories,
focus groups and participant observation. A narrative ethnography of participants' dilemmas and strategies
regarding their experiences on public transport in Quebec City will be presented, as well as the factors that
give rise to perceived accessibility, its social construction and the relevance of this approach, not only in
studies of mobility for people living with disabilities, but also in mobility services aimed at the general
population.

| Presentation about inclusive mobility in the age of smart cities: the role of intelligence and geospatial data | November 23, 2023 | Zoom Video Conference | Improving the social participation of people with disabilities (PWDs) is a major challenge in Canada and internationally. For the vast majority of these people, getting around independently is an essential condition for carrying out their daily activities (e.g., working, going to the market, participating in community life). With this in mind, we’re going to find out how the use of geospatial navigation technologies adapted to the profiles of IAPs can greatly help them get around more safely in urban environments. We will present the adapted navigation requirements of IAPs, and then discuss the work of the MobiliSIG project, which aims to offer a navigation solution adapted to the needs of manual wheelchair users. | | View |
