Eight months after the flood at Wilson’s Promontory, Tidal River has been (kind of) re-opened to the public. People are able to stay in the park itself (fortunately, this includes researchers), but many of the surrounding trails are still in need of repair.
Status update aside: I spent two days in the park [...]
Following on from the last post on an analysis of the movement of rangers, I’d like to discuss another interesting (if not obvious) finding from the diary study. That is: that accessibility dictates what is possible to know.
Access and infrastructure are common topics in ubiquitous computing literature – access to [...]
This week I finally received my ethics approval. For those who haven’t had to deal with an university ethics committee before, it’s a notoriously lengthy and tedious process. I managed to have my research methods approved within 3 months, which is about half the time it took my research partner – so understandably, I’m pretty [...]
I’m technically a few days late for an end of year summary, so I’ll roll in a summary of the year-that-was with a preview of the year-to-come.
Tomorrow Monique and I will be heading down to Wilson’s Prom, our study area, to conduct surveys and interviews with park visitors.
Geoplaced Knowledge
This is a research notebook exploring the gaps between cultural geography, natural environments and ubiquitous computing.
It documents my progress undertaking a cross-disciplinary PhD, in Geospatial Science and Design at RMIT University, Melbourne.
I'm working with Parks Victoria, a government body charged with managing natural environments in the state of Victoria, Australia. My work is being conducted under the Design Research Institute's Affective Atlas project, whose goal is to better facilitating the creation and dissemination of tacit knowledge about national parks.
