4.4 Survey Analysis - Understanding the conditions of living in an existing mixed use environment

I conducted a public survey to understand the conditions of living in an existing mixed use, high density area. The 102 responses were received from a mix of all genders, belonging to varied age groups and different cities.

The survey started with first identifying the typology of the building which they were residing in. And also to know if they were living in a high-rise, mid-rise, or a low-rise structure. After this the further questions were related to their perception of various factors involved in a mixed use environment.

The further part of the survey had questions to understand the density of population, among the various locations and what do these users think about this density. Does that user consider his location as densely populated or sparsely populated?

The next questions in the survey were about the preference of users living in mixed use areas. Whether the presence of retail shops, public activities keep the streets safer at night?

The next part of the survey is to understand the importance of social spaces in a locality and the daily routine of these users.

To understand the existing conditions of automobiles, their parking facilities and the problems faced by the users for parking of their privately owned conditions.

The end part of the survey analyses the current habitable conditions of people in these high density areas and do they feel that their existing buildings should be redeveloped in a better way?
