🔉 This presentation focuses on my research on user experience-based design and human-nature interaction, using case studies from Poland and Estonia. It highlights projects on the perception of nature in urban green and blue spaces, bottom-up urban planning, co-management of public spaces, and the design of temporary housing for resilient communities.
The presentation will discuss the methods I have used, demonstrating how qualitative and quantitative approaches support landscape research and planning focused on processes rather than product.
