“Super Test Site Würzburg” – from the idea to realization

“Super Test Site Würzburg” – from the idea to realization

June 19, 2024

The “Super Test Site Würzburg” originated as an idea at the “Geolingual Studies Workshop”, which our Geolingual Studies team (Prof. Biewer, Prof. Taubenböck) organized last year – we had reported on it: https://remote-sensing.org/geolingual-studies-workshop-day-1-2/ ; https://remote-sensing.org/geolingual-studies-workshop-day-2-2/ ; https://remote-sensing.org/geolingual-studies-workshop-day-3/

The idea is now in realization. With our current measurement campaign we collect diverse data in urban space, whether on physical space of the built or natural environment, environmental variables such as temperature or air quality, or on the behavior, stress symptoms, perception and feelings of people moving around the city or on online (social) media. All these data are now recorded – not in separate studies, but in one city and within two weeks.

The measurement campaign with the team of researchers from our University in Würzburg, from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt, the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg and the German Aerospace Center got covered today by media.
