Digital + on-site surveying

Dialogue with municipality

The surveying of stakeholders had to be conducted digitally as well as on-site, due to the COVID-19-situation. The digital survey gave the stakeholders the opinion to answer on their own terms, when they are available, and it also makes it easier to organize and sort the collected material as statistics could be automatically generated from the survey.

However, an on-site survey, with consideration of safe distance, was conducted to make sure to include bypassers in the project well.

To get insight in the current use of the area, the Municipal City Archive was contacted to get more info on the property documentation.

In the problem statement/proposal for intervention-phase, the ”Miljøpakken”-department of Trondheim Municipality was contacted to discuss possibility of universal design.
