4.1.9 Any alternative to this?

People tend to use varied spaces throughout the day for different purposes. During the survey, I asked a question to the visitors whether they go to alternate public spaces. Riverfront is on the top of the list when it comes to alternative space with almost 45% vote!! Gandhi ashram and C.G. Road are the following 2nd most in the list with 13.2% each. Kankariya and Vastrapur have an equal amount of choice with 7.5% both. Everything else is with less than 10% including Law Garden, Parimal Garden, and Don’t go.

4.1.10 Notion Regarding Entry fee

To further understand the publicness and accessibility of a public space, questions regarding what visitors think about entry fee where asked. Three main themes emerged out from this question

1) Agreed Themes (People who think Yes, they are willing to pay for theentry fee and why) 2) Disagreed Themes (People who think No they are not willing to pay for the entry fee and why) 3) Undecided Themes (People who still have no idea or they haven’t responded to the question)
