The workshop entitled Navigation as Key Infrastructure – Interdisciplinary Approaches to Creating an Airport Wayfinding System is being organized by Sutnarka as part of the research project Airport Wayfinding: Creating a Navigation System for Václav Havel Airport Prague by doctoral student Zuzana Votrubcová.

Those interested in participating in the workshop can look forward to the latest results of research focused on the creation and functioning of the navigation system at Václav Havel Airport Prague. The introductory part will present the project and its objectives, followed by a presentation of partial outputs with an emphasis on interdisciplinary cooperation, which is key to the creation of a high-quality and functional navigation system. The system must not only respond to the diverse needs of individual groups of passengers, but also withstand normal operating conditions and emergency situations.

Workshop participants will then be able to discuss issues related to the design of a functional and comprehensible navigation system, identify its weaknesses, and seek solutions that support effective passenger orientation. The focus of the research is graphic design, but it is closely linked to other disciplines—sociology, psychology, ergonomics, architecture, and other areas. Their cooperation is essential for a comprehensive and sustainable solution.

Program:

1:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. registration

1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. introductory remarks, presentation of partial project results
