Of these, those who walk the most are <strong>children<\/strong>, but little is known about the conditions of their journeys. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/vref.se\/projects\/walking-to-school-in-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Walking to School in Latin America<\/strong><\/a><\/em> is a project that seeks to understand the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to <strong>understand the challenges<\/strong> faced by children who live in the outskirts of cities on their <strong>way to school<\/strong>,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/our-faculty\/eaad\/aleksandra-krstikj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aleksandra Krstikj<\/a>, research professor at the <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/our-faculty\/eaad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Architecture, Art and Design<\/a> (EAAD) and leader of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, <strong>mobility in Latin America<\/strong>, especially in the outskirts, is <strong>limited<\/strong> because most streets are designed for motorized vehicles, leaving aside tricycles, bicycles, skates or scooters, as well as pedestrians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>public transportation<\/strong> is often <strong>insufficient and unsafe<\/strong>, so children do not use it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is knowledge about the conditions in which adults walk, there is a void of information regarding children mobility and <strong>how they feel when walking the streets<\/strong>, how much and how they do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand this, the team led by Krstikj analyzed the <strong>mobility on foot of children<\/strong> who attend primary school in three Latin American cities: the State of Mexico, in Mexico, Medell\u00edn, in Colombia, and Recife, in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is being carried out by EAAD, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cide.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Economic Research and Teaching<\/a> (CIDE), the <a href=\"https:\/\/promorar.recife.pe.gov.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Urban Requalification and Resilience Program in Areas of Socio-Environmental Vulnerability<\/a> (ProMorar), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eafit.edu.co\/urbam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Urban and Environmental Studies<\/a> (Urbam) and was funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/vref.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Volvo Research and Educational Foundations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Mixed Methodology to Understand the Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Krstikj, although there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrico.mx\/docs\/EntornosEscolaresCDMX.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">some guides<\/a> in Latin America to make school environments safe, most of them focus on proposing solutions that are imported from other countries and do not really focus on understanding the challenges<strong> children face when the walk to school<\/strong> in the region, so the proposed solutions often fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur research focuses on shedding light on this problem, so we can later<strong> design solutions and public policies that are appropriate<\/strong> to the context of our region,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, the team used a <strong>mixed method<\/strong> where they did a <strong>quantitative analysis<\/strong> to measure how much children and their companions walk to school, how many kilometers they travel and what the territory they travel is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, they did a <strong>qualitative analysis<\/strong> with surveys, interviews and educational activities where they asked children and their primary caregivers &#8211; parents, mothers, siblings or grandparents &#8211; how they experience these walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the results of this work are still in process, they already have some ideas of what challenges they face in the <strong>State of Mexico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, when they walk the streets, children look for <strong>spaces where they can play,<\/strong> as it is an important way of interaction to them. They also look for <strong>green spaces<\/strong> with <strong>shade<\/strong> and places where they feel <strong>safe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, parks, trees and safe areas are generally lacking in the outskirts of the country,\u201d says Krstikj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Children<\/strong> are also afraid of motorcycles, cars and trucks, which are the main <strong>means of transportation <\/strong>in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Primary caregivers<\/strong> say they <strong>do not feel safe<\/strong> letting them walk to school alone and have to organize themselves in community to find solutions, as many have to leave to work and the state does not provide safe transportation for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Walking to School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once their research is complete, the researchers&#8217; goal is to publish articles and a <strong>practical guide<\/strong> to <strong>design interventions in Latin American cities<\/strong> that are aimed at ensuring <strong>safe and active mobility<\/strong> so that children can walk to school and other places freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/245409095_Increasing_car_dependency_of_children_Should_we_be_worried\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mportant for children&#8217;s health<\/a>, since according to the researcher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/~ucetjop\/pdf\/HEPA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different studies<\/a> have found that those who use the car more often have less physical coordination and orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Walking not only improves their quality of life, it also increases the child&#8217;s pride in belonging to a <strong>community<\/strong>,&#8221; says the researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, they also seek to ally with government agencies and schools to <strong>plan public policies <\/strong>and improvements to cities that promote <strong>better mobility in the outskirts<\/strong>, putting special emphasis on children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also want to raise awareness and educate societies through community activities on the importance of considering<strong> children <\/strong>when planning a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Children<\/strong> are citizens too and have a right to the city, but no one asks them what they need and they usually don\u2019t have a voice,\u201d says Krstikj. \u201cHowever, they do <strong>deserve safety<\/strong> for the journey they make to school almost every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Were you interested in this story?

Mi trabajo ha sido publicado en medios como Science, Science News, Newsweek, Nexos, \u00bfC\u00f3mo ves?, entre otros. Estudi\u00e9 Biolog\u00eda en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM y ah\u00ed descubr\u00ed mi pasi\u00f3n por comunicarle a todas las personas el conocimiento cient\u00edfico y su relevancia social. Creo que la ciencia, al fomentar el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, puede empoderar a la humanidad y, al ser la base de los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos, puede ayudarla a vivir en las mejores condiciones posibles.","url":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/author\/igutierrez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
