EXPECTATIONS AND COMMENTS - Dystopian narrative as a tool for the rejuvenation of brown field s

______________________________________________________________________________

If you answered NO in Question 2 please skip to Question 7 Question 3

Is there more than one bad place in your area?

[YES] [NO]

Question 4

What, in your opinion, makes the place bad?

______________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________

Question 5

Did the bad place used to be better or possibly even a good or fun place in the past?

[YES] [NO]

Question 6

If you could do anything to the bad place what would you do?

______________________________________________________________________________

A higher percentage of YES answers would suggest that there is a higher amount of dystopias in an area.

This will give qualitative data that will be able to be compared to the literature on dystopian architecture and

dystopian places.

This question will test the concept of urban decay in the various areas; there will be large amounts of error here due to whether the participant has lived in the area for a long time or not.

This question is to test the participant’s understanding of rejuvenation and development. Their answers will not reflect the professional and theoretical opinion and could therefore be of use to compare to the literature

researched.

Question 7

Would you say this is a bad place?

[YES] [NO]

Question 8

Would you say this is a bad place?

[YES] [NO]

It is expected that the majority will choose YES, this is a control to

establish the notion of ‘bad place’ and dystopia.

It is expected that the majority will choose NO, yet another control but it is also expected that the architectural group may reflect some YES choices.

The yeses would be comparable with the criticism of gated communities and utopia.

Question 9

Which place is better?

[A] [B] [C]

Question 10

Which of the two images are more appealing?

[A] [B]

It is expected that the majority will choose B due to the presence of life. All three images are of the same place but from different perspectives; this is to show that the use of plants can improve the image of a place.

It is expected that the majority will choose B due to the change in function and the presence of human activity. This will

motivate towards adaptive reuse.

Question 11

Do you consider industrial areas, mines and factories to be bad places?

[YES] [NO]

Question 12

Would you say that the mine environment in picture B is similar to the environment shown in picture A?

[YES]

[NO]

Question 13

Both picture A and B in Question 12 look like something out of a Science Fiction movie or book.

How much do you agree with this statement?

[Strongly Disagree] [Disagree] [Neutral] [Agree] [ Strongly Agree]

It is assumed that it will be majority YES; showing the link between industrial structures and dystopias.

It is the author’s opinion that the images are similar and therefore a majority YES is expected. This further links industrial sites to dystopia.

This question now tries to highlight the link between Fiction, dystopia and industrial sites. It also is asked to support Q12 as participants may answer No in Q12 because of

differences in medium and forms used.

Question 14

A person can learn a lot from a fictional [not true] story, so much so that he/ she might change their behaviour based on the story’s lessons.

How much do you agree with this statement?

[Strongly Disagree] [Disagree] [Neutral] [Agree] [ Strongly Agree]

Question 15

Do you think it is important for buildings and places to tell some sort of a story?

[YES] [NO]

If you answered YES, state why they should tell a story in as few words as possible.

______________________________________________________________________________

When completed, please return this questionnaire to the researcher/lecturer who gave it to you.

Thank you very much for your time and co-operation.

It is expected to be mostly positive, this would then support the literature on learning through narrative and the importance of narrative.

The final question is very open ended [qualitative] and is aimed more towards the architectural group. It is expected to be answered mostly YES and will help justify the importance of narrative architecture in the built environment.

A brownfi eld is a property on which expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence, or perceived presence, of contamination. EPA’s Brownfi elds Program provides grants to fund environmental assessment, cleanup, and job training activities. Additionally, EPA seeks to strengthen the marketplace and encourages stakeholders to leverage the resources needed to clean up and redevelop brownfi elds.

This Brownﬁ elds Solutions Series fact sheet is intended to provide an overview of the brownﬁ elds redevelopment

process. The brownﬁ elds real estate redevelopment process, along with key challenges, critical participants, and example redevelopment scenarios are discussed. Key real estate terms are highlighted in bold text. These terms are explained on page 7. The information in this fact sheet is based on stakeholders’ experiences in the brownﬁ elds cleanup and redevelopment process and does not represent the views of EPA.
