The resident
focus group was asked to draw their
|
|
|
neighborhoods in
a Mental Mapping exercise.
|
|
|
The point was to
determine how the members of
|
|
the group
actually saw and used the various
|
|
|
assets and
streets in the neighborhood
|
|
|
| • |
Three of the
seven maps specifically pointed out and commented upon
|
|
|
Train Avenue
|
|
|
| • |
Five out of
seven stressed how long-term residents viewed neighborhood.
|
|
|
On these, noted
were what some of the empty or converted buildings had
|
|
|
been (breweries
and slaughterhouses)
|
|
|
| • |
When drawing
their neighborhoods, the individuals drew them very tightly,
|
|
|
i.e., within a
very limited space of their residence
|
|
|
| • |
Very little green
space was noted
