"Active Mobility in all Policies“ Development of an intersectoral argumentation on the topic in Austria ctive Mobility in all Policies“
Abstract
The term ‘Active Mobility’ indicates all physical activities in the means of transport from A to B. This includes in particular walking and cycling but also activities like running or using a pedal-scooter or skateboard. Active Mobility describes a health-enhancing and climatefriendly activity. In the last years Active Mobility received increasing attention by policy sectors such as health, environment and climate protection, transport, mobility or planning. In Austria, this is characterized by recent policy documents such as the ‘Masterplan Cycling’, the ‘Masterplan Walking’, the ‘National Action Plan for Physical Activity’ or the ‘Austrian Health Targets’. The common idea of those documents is to take in addition to individual behavioural approaches also socio-ecological approaches into account (‘Health in All Policies’ approach). The importance of intersectoral cooperation is increasingly recognized. At the moment, the different policy fields operate with diverse notions such as human-powered transport, sustainable mobility, walkability, and other. The policy sectors pursue specific as well as cross-sectoral targets that are not systematically examined yet in regards to opportunities for co-operation (‘capacity building’). The interdisciplinary team consists of the Institute of Landscape Planning, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (short: ILAP, BOKU) and the Centre for Sport Sciences and University Sports, department Sport Pedagogy, University of Vienna (short: ISW, UNIVIE) with the advisory support of the VCÖ - Austrian Traffic Association. With its knowledge and expertise the team offers a complementary approach to find a cross-sectoral language and to identify intersectoral linkages to the topic Active Mobility. Project aims are: (1) To analyse specific terms of relevant sectors and policy-documents on Active Mobility, (2) To find a common language for the different sectors and networks and to concert synergies and connecting points, and (3) To bring together the discussion and results in form of an argumentation paper.
