In the summer semester of 2021, students of Mainz University of Applied Sciences mapped their everyday locations in Mainz, Germany. The students had to map their five everyday places where they respectively “feel good,” “feel uncomfortable,” and “have suggestions for improvement.” Subsequently they were interviewed on their mapping behavior to investigate their decisions to set the points that mark the respective places.

The students had to map their five everyday places where they respectively “feel good,” “feel uncomfortable,” and “have suggestions for improvement.” Subsequently they were interviewed on their mapping behavior to investigate their decisions to set the points that mark the respective places.
