We observed a volume-limited sample of 19 luminous type 1 QSO host galaxies at MV ~ −23 mag and redshift 0.06 < z < 0.2 (Jahnke et al. 2004) using the VLT/VIMOS Integral Field Spectrograph. After removal of the QSO contribution (using the method of Husemann et al. 2008), we construct 2D intensity maps and gas velocity fields of the host galaxies in the Hα and [O iii] emission lines. Two representative cases are shown in Figure 1.
