to undertake a full time PhD research at Monash University as part of
Graduate Research Interdisciplinary Program (GRIP) commencing on 18 May

*PhD Research Topic*
The project investigates *Personal Security on Public Transport*. Customer
research regularly suggests that the sense of personal security is
important in making travel choices. But public transport is just part of a
wider experience of public spaces.
· What shapes the perceptions of personal security when travelling on
public transport?
· Do perceptions differ between users and non-users?
· How are those perceptions affected by the media?
· What would be the most cost effective ways to lift perceptions?
