As part of the SORA4UAM<\/strong> project, initial insights into the public perception of drones were gained during the \u2018Long Night of Research<\/strong>\u2019 at FH Joanneum in Graz. Participation was organised by project partner AIRlabs Austria<\/strong>, a nationwide BMK innovation laboratory that focuses on the sustainable development and validation of civil unmanned aviation systems. <\/span><\/p>

Visitors of all ages were given the opportunity to learn about the project’s goals and participate in an interactive survey<\/strong>. A specially designed poster allowed participants to indicate the areas in which drones could be most useful<\/strong>. The options were: environment, infrastructure, medicine, leisure and everyday life<\/strong>. There was also an option to select \u201cno benefit of use<\/strong>\u201d. Each participant received four coloured stickers \u2013 red (up to 20 years old), blue (20\u201335 years old) and black (35 years and older) \u2013 to mark the most important areas of application. <\/span><\/p>

A total of 199 votes were cast for the environment,<\/strong> followed by infrastructure (113), medicine (99)<\/strong> and leisure and everyday life (68 each)<\/strong>. What is striking is that none of the respondents saw no benefit in drone technology<\/strong>. Areas of application that promise social added value were chosen particularly often \u2013 especially environment, medicine and infrastructure. This shows that drones are particularly well accepted when they benefit the general public. <\/span><\/p>

A clear picture also emerges when comparing different age groups: the environment was the most important issue in all age groups<\/strong>. While 42% of younger respondents (aged 20 and under) considered the environment to be the most important issue, this figure was 25% among 20- to 35-year-olds. Categories such as medicine and everyday life, on the other hand, were rated similarly by all age groups. <\/span><\/p>

The results suggest that acceptance of urban air mobility (UAM) depends heavily on the extent to which it is perceived as socially beneficial<\/strong>. Environmental and safety aspects play a key role in this regard \u2013 an important signal for the future development of air mobility concepts. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Further surveys are planned within the scope of the project, targeting different audience groups such as professional drone pilots and experts in general aviation. It will be particularly interesting to see whether their assessments of drone applications differ from those of the general public, especially regarding priorities, perceived benefits, and concerns about UAM. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
