My name is Pınar Ebe-Güzgü, a PhD student at İzmir Katip Çelebi University, Turkey, currently conducting research at the University of Twente. My doctoral research focuses on social justice and disadvantaged groups in the context of smart city applications, with a particular emphasis on the mobility of elderly people (defined by WHO as people over the age of 65).

As part of my research, I conduct in-depth interviews with residents (aged 65+) of Amsterdam, caretakers of elderly individuals, and those working on (or with expertise in) smart city initiatives. The goal is to explore the mobility experiences of 65+ people in Amsterdam and develop policy recommendations to enhance social justice in urban management.

If you would like to share your experiences, your participation in this research would be invaluable. All interviews will be conducted at a time and format that suits you.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your insights will greatly contribute to our understanding of how smart city applications impact the mobility and quality of life of older individuals.

If you are interested in participating, please reach out to me via the email address below:

Best regards,

Wist je dat Overhoeks het oudste stukje Amsterdam-Noord is? En dat vlak achter Eye het galgenveld van Amsterdam lag? Verhaalpaal Noord is een openluchttentoonstelling over de onbekende geschiedenis van Amsterdam-Noord die vanaf maart 2025 te zien is op Overhoeks in Amsterdam Noord.

Verhaalpaal Noord wordt ontwikkeld door creatief bureau Zeppa in samenwerking met schrijver Bas Kok. Het project is onderdeel van Amsterdam 750, maar we zijn nog op zoek naar laatste financiering en zijn daarom een crowdfunding gestart.

Wil jij helpen de onbekende geschiedenis van Noord zichtbaar te maken? Steun ons dan op voordekunst.
