Which environmental and spatial parameters in uence the perception of the built environment and its users’ behaviour? In this abstract, the authors present the pro- totype MoMe, a context-sensitive mobile application developed as a research tool to assess spatial perception and behaviour in urban open spaces. The aim of the prototype is to record quantitative and qualitative data by making use of the con- text-awareness of mobile devices. Thanks to the interactive nature of mobile ap- plications, the proposed framework can be used to guide and engage users in a speci c manner with the built environment, which can be choreographed according to research questions in a somewhat exible or even playful way. A conceptual framework for the development and evaluation of the prototype is presented here and is underlined with the results and experiences of a proof of concept setup.
