Programme: B. Sc. In Spatial Planning (DT106 - Year 4)
Module: SSPL4009 Collaborative Planning
Lecturers: Ciarán Cuffe, Deiric Ó Broin
During the first Semester of the 2012/13 academic year, Spatial Planning students undertook an attitudinal survey of residents to the Grangegorman Development Agency’s plans for Grangegorman. To complete this assignment, the students prepared a questionnaire and carried out over two hundred on-street and door-to-door surveys with residents from the Grangegorman Lower, Kirwan Street, Prussia Street and Rathdown Road areas. The Survey examined attitudes to transport, education, health, housing, retailing, socialising, crime, and other relevant issues.
Having established a rigorous methodology the students worked in pairs to gather the fieldwork data. In turn, the data was analysed and presented in a 10,000 word report. The results of the survey were made available to the DIT Campus Planning team and will be taken into consideration as the development of the new DIT campus progresses.
