The phenomenology of traffic in Ho Chi Minh city

Wyatt, Glenn Craig (2018) The phenomenology of traffic in Ho Chi Minh city. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research examines the urban traffic in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam using a philosophical theoretical framework to analyze the relationship between perception, experience and practice. The study used a video-narrative approach, revealing ways in which meaning emerges through relationships with objects, both material and immaterial and the role of tacit knowledge and pre-conscious skills in negotiating the traffic environment. This approach provides an alternative and complementary way to study urban traffic that differs from other more technologically driven methods or approaches that view traffic systems in universal terms.
