Household Surveys - Quality of Life

A questionnaire survey conducted face to face at home and in the neighbourhood, with focus groups of residents (e.g. mother toddlers, pensioners). This sought to assess the living situation in terms of location, building mix and layout (vertical/horizontal, neighbouring uses) and the aspects that residents liked or disliked about their neighbourhood. Overall this assessed liveability in the context of the location, local services and housing/household type.

Business Surveys - Location

A postal questionnaire was sent to organisations drawn from local authority and business listings and workspace providers. This profiled firms in terms of service provided, numbers of staff, travel mode/distance to work, customer catchment, premises type and terms (e.g. lease), as well as location dis/advantages and intentions. This survey sought to assess the benefits of locating within mixed use and diverse environments from the perspective of trade, supply chain links and employment.
