From risks to routes : human-centered development of a multi-platform planning support system for safer school commutes
The daily school commute plays a crucial role in developing children’s ability to travel independently. In Germany, school route plans, which are maps that highlight safe paths and danger zones, are a well-established way of improving the safety of school commutes. However, over half of municipalities lack such plans, often due to limited resources and the signifcant coordination efort required. In this paper, we present a human-centered approach to developing a multi-platform planning support system designed to facilitate the creation of school route plans. Through low-fdelity prototyping and iterative user research involving planners, parents, and mobility experts, we identifed key functional requirements. The resulting software prototype includes a mobile app for data collection and a desktop application for plan creation. This paper details the user research, derived requirements and the implementation of the system. Our approach shows how digital tools can support local authorities and lower barriers to participation for parents and children

Peer Counseling als Methode zur Unterstützung einer selbstbestimmten Lebensführung : ein Beratungskonzept und seine Wirkweisen
Selbstbestimmte Lebensführung und Teilhabe im Gemeinwesen - das sind zentrale Themen einer breit geführten Auseinandersetzung im Bereich der Behindertenhilfe bzw. der Sozialen Arbeit bei Behinderung: Versorgungsorientierte Modelle der Unterstützung von Menschen mit Behinderungen werden verabschiedet und neue, personen- und sozialraumorientierte Unterstützungsmodelle diskutiert. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit den veränderten Bedingungen, der Organisation, den Ansätzen, Anforderungen und Problemen von ambulanten Hilfen für Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen und Unterstützungsbedarfen bei der alltäglichen Lebensführung. Es bietet zunächst eine Übersicht über die theoretischen Bezüge, konzeptionellen und rechtlichen Grundlagen. Darauf aufbauend werden dann die bisherigen Erfahrungen und Probleme bei der Konstruktion und praktischen Umsetzung individuell passender Hilfen reflektiert und die zukünftigen Grundlinien der Ausgestaltung ambulanter Hilfen skizziert
Tagify : a boilerplate tagging platform for gamification research
Gamification has been shown to have a positive impact on user motivation and engagement. In the past, research has investigated applied gamification in various contexts, such as health and education. Yet, when it comes to basic gamification research, an over the years recurring trend has been to use an image tagging task, e.g. to measure the effects of game elements. While this approach is common, it lacks a consistent methodology as various studies use different tagging platforms that may look and function differently, potentially harming replicability. To address this, we present a mature, open-source framework to establish a tagging platform for gamification research. The platform is designed to be accessible and easy-to-setup, allowing researchers to easily change the operationalization, tasks, their order, and the used game elements. A first usability study (N=5) shows that the framework is easy to use for researchers and has an excellent usability for users
