We were keen to separate Paper 1 and 2 from fieldwork units, and reduce workload, so I created this ‘mini unit’ for the department which includes:
Fieldwork data collection booklet, methods include for each of the three sites: Land use tally, environmental quality survey for old site (old pictures included) and current site, mood mapping for old site (old pictures included) and current site, pedestrian count and questionnaire. Each method links to one or more of our key questions (see below).
