| Results and Impact | Presentation of a new way to co-produce impact indicators at one of largest international conference with a focus on policy/transport/health experts: The research in this presentation intended to provide a methodological framework to co-develop a common baseline of outcomes -- known as a Core-Outcome-Set (COS) -- regarding what should be measured based on the outcomes valued by citizens. The development of a COS is a key aspect of Cities-4-People (C4P), an EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation project, that aims to implement a pilot program running at five urban and peri-urban areas (Oxford, Hamburg, Budapest, Istanbul, Trikala). To develop the COS, the Delphi Method was chosen as a systematic means to gather opinions from the mobility communities in each city. Two sequential and iterative rounds of Delphi questionnaires were sent out, anonymous responses were aggregated and shared with all participants after each round of consensus building. The Delphi panel consisted of a structured sample of fifteen participants, from across all five EU cities, recruited by the city facilitators utilizing the existing C4P project citizen mobility labs and community structures to ensure a balance of heterogenous participants in each city. The main issues in the study related to the translation of the Delphi questionnaire materials into five different languages; specifically, the potential for information to be misinterpreted and to ensure the nuances of carefully crafted questions were consistent, as well as the pressure of time added to the overall process between rounds. In the context of urban mobility, this people-centred COS methodology provides a new transferable approach to derive evidence based on what citizens value, which can be used alongside existing objective indicators. Such evidence is not only essential for stakeholders engaged in decision making processes, especially in relation to gaining public support, but also for the sustainability of projects by empowering local communities. |
