*TUO 3 – Third Workshop on Time Use Observatory*
*March 21 – 23, 2012*
*Santiago de Chile*
The Complex Engineering Systems Institute, ISCI, would like to invite you to
submit an abstract to the third version of the TUO workshop.****
*Presentation*
** **
This workshop continues with the successful TUO workshop series held in 2009
and 2010, where we had rewarding discussions about aspects such as time use
patterns, data collection and methods of analysis, from theoretical and
applied perspectives, including applications from different urban areas of
the world. We believe that a proper understanding of travel behaviour
involves the need to study the explicit decision processes of time
assignment of daily activities, challenging our current theories, data, and
methods.****
** **
In this new version of the TUO workshop, we feel is relevant to review the
basic contents of past research on Time Use from all viewpoints, in order to
focus on new paradigms that should emerge to improve our understanding of
the relations between Transport and Time Use. We expect to receive a variety
of contributions along these lines, which will be organized around central
discussion topics as data collection experiences, new theoretical
approaches, and empirical results, which could highlight new venues on time
use research.****
** **
Please send your abstract no later than October 15. You will receive an
answer regarding acceptance at the workshop by November 15.****
