Short description
Opponents of street transformation often claim, that there are to little parking possibilities. But is that true? Evidence in Ljubljana showed that the city has rather a problem with how parking space is unevenly occupied. The urban design studio prostorož suggested the following steps to collect data about parking space occupancy.
- define the area of observation (street / block / neighbourhood)
- prepare the site plan of all the parking spots you will observe / have access to, regardless of ownership
- set a hypothesis (e.g. parking is occupied by employees, not generating income for local shops)
- create an observation plan: check occupancy one Wednesday and Saturday; and granular occupancy of observed parking lots every 2 hours, starting from 5 AM to 12:00 PM
- graphically present data for example via Q-GIS and interpret results
