Researchers develop a new tool for the analysis of the sharing of mobility and spaces in buildings or communities in the city of Oslo.
Researchers on the ReShare project have harnassed the term resharing to refer to the integration of mobility-sharing (e.g. electric vehicles, including emerging services and technology) and space-sharing (e.g. shared workspaces, meeting rooms, indoor gyms, garages) in the same residential or office buildings and/or in neighbourhood communities.
The team have newly developed a dashboard that can be used to show and analyse the degree of 're-sharability' in the city of Oslo, with a particular focus on the district of Hovinbyen and sub-districts Løren and Økern.
A 're-shareability index' has also been developed – that is, a tool that helps to identify the re-sharing features, and the conditions for resharing in a particular location/neighbourdhood. The reshareability index is an indicator of the conditions for developing integrated solutions to (re)sharing.
The dashboard has several purposes:
- Providing an understanding of what can be effectively reshared today in the built environment
- Communicating and collaborating with practitioners and scholars to ensure that the dashboard incorporates data that is not yet available or collected
- Guiding planners and policy-makers in addressing new strategies in cities that are more oriented towards sustainable consumption and sharing, especially in those neighbourhoods that are less multifunctional
- Addressing mobility providers to locate their services in the areas which are less equipped for (re)sharing (e.g. lack of transportation hubs, car/bikes sharing)
- Initiating a dialogue with the local residents in order to implement the dashboard with several insights from the users
Hossein Chavoshi (Consultant and former Associate Professor at NMBU's Department of Geomatics) is mainly responsible for the dashboard. He is helped by Mina Di Marino (leader of WP4 of the ReShare project and Associate Professor at NMBU's Department of Urban and Regional Planning) and Tanu Priya Uteng (PI of ReShare).
The dashboard is publicly available. If you do not have an Esri account, you can create one for free, or you can choose to continue without logging in if you do not need account-specific access.
The dashboard was presented to all stakeholders and researchers of the ReShare project and to Oslo Municipality in September 2024.
