Interact project

This project aims to respond to the increase in homelessness in Lausanne, recently identified as the second worst affected city in Switzerland, by developing and implementing an annual tool for counting homeless people. This will make it possible to estimate their numbers, describe their characteristics and their needs in terms of emergency accommodation. Using a participatory methodology, this project brings together researchers, professionals and homeless people to provide an in-depth understanding of the target population. The results will help to improve the health of the most deprived people, adjust existing aid services and guide the development of emergency accommodation facilities.

The intAIRieur project aims to explore and improve indoor air quality in Lausanne using citizen science methods. Using a participatory and interdisciplinary approach, the aim is to measure indoor air quality, analyse the perceptions and practices of urban residents on this subject, and co-construct actions to take action on this issue. By increasing residents' awareness and skills, this project will promote health in the urban environment, while offering a model that can be replicated by other towns and cities.

This project looks at the safety of cyclists at junctions by analysing their understanding of two initiatives designed to improve their cohabitation with motorists: the right turn at red lights and a recommendation for positioning in roundabouts. The aim here is to understand the impact of junction and roundabout configurations on cyclists' behaviour, as well as the profile of users adopting these measures to improve road safety. The evaluation of these measures is a valuable learning opportunity for the city of Lausanne and will enable it to identify potential avenues for improving road safety.

Veni, Vidy, Digi is a project that aims to develop an interactive map model for visitors to the Roman Museum of Lausanne-Vidy. This will draw the outlines of ancient Lausanne, the Lousonna. Via this digital device, the public will have access to animations, videos, archives and collections that will enable them to find out more about this emblematic heritage.

Originating from a collaboration between the Roman Museum of Lausanne-Vidy and #ASAnumerica - the digital pôle of the Section of Archaeology and the Sciences of Antiquity at UNIL - this partnership brings together specialists in the fields of archaeology, cultural management and heritage enhancement. Through this project, the two institutions are developing the field of cultural dissemination and innovating in the way they address audiences.

This research aims to analyse the historical development of urban planning regulations in Lausanne during the first half of the 20th century. Subjected to urban transformations that were unprecedented in the industrial era, Swiss towns gradually adopted regulatory measures such as extension plans and building policies. Illustrating a conception of public space, these town-planning tools allow us to document the expansion of the towns of Vaud.

The processes of analysis and exploration will take the form of a research dissertation in the history of architecture and heritage at the Université de Lausanne. Subsequently, the findings from this research will be published digitally on a website, designed as both a database and a virtual exhibition. As part of this project, the collaboration between the University of Lausanne and the City of Lausanne offers students the opportunity to anchor their analyses in current professional urban issues by bringing together historical events and contemporary problems.

The Captographies project aims to develop the network of sensors that measures and evaluates the quality of outdoor air in Lausanne. What sets this research apart is its determination to involve the public in data collection, via the creation of spaces for meetings and dialogue between scientific experts, specialists from the City of Lausanne and citizens.

L’inclusion of the inhabitant·e·s in the data collection initially makes it possible to establish a database that is denser and more comprehensive;es plus dense et représentésentative, mais aussi d’informer et de sensibiliser la population lausannoise à la qualité air et ses possibles répercussions.

More broadly, accurate mapping of air quality will help to improve Lausanne's public policies linked to the Climate Plan, tree planting strategy and urban planning.

The Africa Today, Tomorrow's World (AMD) project raises awareness of the themes of integration and living together by building on the links between Switzerland and Africa. To achieve this, the project is being built around two forums: a festival called Afrique en Ville, which will take place on 26 August 2023 at the Parc de Valency, and an inter-faculty and citizen doctoral day organised at the end of 2023.

Creating new synergies, AMD is emerging as a place for exchange and social mixing. Through workshops and events, the speakers from AMD explore Swiss-African relations and their contribution to Switzerland's socio-cultural landscape. Through these activities, the project contributes to the reflection that surrounds inclusion policies and aspires to their co-construction.

Préaux en tous genres is a project aimed at investigating the reality of the City of Lausanne's préaux through a gender lens. Its aim is to observe, document and analyse activities and interactions in Lausanne's public spaces. These are seen as emblematic spaces for the institution, school time and activities, as much as for the neighbourhood, its residents and its activities. It will be necessary here to perceive it from a child's point of view, with the determination to carry out participatory research not only on children, but necessarily with them.

The research will be carried out from an interdisciplinary perspective, by Bachelor's and Master's students in social sciences and human geography. Through various projects, it will aim to document the common research question on activities and interactions in school environments from a gender perspective. It will enable practical recommendations to be drawn up as the results come in, for the use of professionals in the City of Lausanne, its administration, schools and children. Imagining and necessarily proposing ways of thinking about, managing and eliminating gender inequalities in the classroom will open up new possibilities for professionals and children alike.

The aim of this research is to study the socio-cultural activities of the City of Lausanne using a gender budgeting (GBS) approach. The aim is to apply an innovative approach to a sector of public action that is relatively under-studied, but which occupies an important place in the political strategy of the City of Lausanne. The research will contribute, on the one hand, to work that analyses public action from a gender perspective and, on the other hand, will develop recommendations that can be used in the reflection carried out by the City of Lausanne on GRB.

The findings and recommendations from this research will also help to understand how local governance mechanisms – in this case those of the City of Lausanne – can actively advance gender equality.

Adolescent girls and young women make little use of urban sports facilities, as research into the sociology of sport and recent public policy evaluations, particularly in Lausanne, have shown. What's more, adolescence is often a turning point in women's involvement in sport.

This project intends to focus on this category of the population by proposing an inventory of existing urban sports facilities and the needs of young women for the targeted adaptation or creation of new infrastructures, aimed at encouraging their participation in urban sports facilities and gender diversity in public spaces.

Launched by three Masters students in social and intercultural psychology at UNIL, Thierry Bobst, Julien Croisier and Yoann Favre, the Canopée project aims to combine approaches to social influence to promote sustainability, via the creation of an application, and, more generally, of a network of partners;social influence to promote sustainability, via the creation of an application, and, more generally, an approach to encouraging sustainable behaviour.

While many tools (digital or otherwise) already exist to motivate individuals to behave in an environmentally-friendly way, the approach developed here has the;It is original in that it conveys a "one size fits all" vision, where the same type of message is expected to motivate different types of behaviour and individuals with different characteristics. In addition, the Canopée approach considers that both individual aspects (implementation of personalised objectives) and collective aspects (creation of a network of changes) enable individuals to initiate and/or maintain sustainable behaviours.

The Canopée approach is based on the principle that individuals should be able to initiate and/or maintain sustainable behaviours through a network of changes, and that this network of changes should be based on the principle that individuals should be able to initiate and/or maintain sustainable behaviours.

The aim of the UTAC project is to collect data on the implementation and response to tactical cycling urban planning in the context of the health crisis. The project proposes to:

• analyse the impact of new infrastructure on cycling;
• analyse the reception of these new infrastructures by different population groups.

The project will thus provide both practitioners·ne·s and scientists with initial éléments of knowledge that will feed into future activities (cycling policy and publications).

Research carried out during Act 1 (Interact 2018 call for projects) and Act 2 (2019) of the Riponne-Tunnel project has confirmed the added value for its two stakeholders of a process of change around the issues of experimentation and progressive enrichment on both scientific and operational levels. The City of Lausanne project team is initiating innovative procedures and ways of working. The dialogue and exchanges between practitioners/actors and observers/researchers are proving to be fundamental assets in enabling responsive practice in a context of urban experimentation.

The preparations or test developments in terms of the (a)ménagement of the space to come in the Riponne Tunnel sector constituted a unique opportunity to test and validate the best practices in the field; This was a unique opportunity to test and validate operational measures to counter the effects of climate change, with a view to implementing a future freshwater network. The objectives were firstly to identify the environmental forms (cooling and heating systems) present in the study area (phase 1), and then to establish a framework for a future cooling and heating system;draw up recommendations with the various project stakeholders (phase 2), on the basis of which provisional arrangements would be made (phase 3).

Phase 3: implementation and experimentation

The planned test arrangements have not yet been implemented due to opposition to the project, an appeal against which is currently before the Federal Administrative Court. Adjustments have therefore been necessary to meet the research objectives and raise issues of relevance to the project process underway at the Place du Tunnel and, more broadly, to experiments being conducted at other sites in the city of Lausanne.

Faced with the difficulties that teenagers can encounter and the changes in their relationships, parents frequently find themselves questioning their parenting practices. To answer their questions, they sometimes seek out sources of information and support.

Despite the increase in these parenting support resources, access to them does not seem to be so easy for parents. The aims of this project are (1) to identify the extent to which parents of teenagers in Lausanne feel they need support in their role as parents, and (2) to identify what they would like to see in terms of support.
