Dear Residents,
Early December 2020, Catalina Morales, a PhD Researcher from Oxford Brookes University, visited Chobham Manor to carry out a study about Inclusive Design in the Park area.
You may have met Catalina on her visit and had a chance to talk about the project or received an invitation in your letterbox to participate in the project’s survey.
Catalina is thankful to everyone she has spoken to during her visit to the Chobham Manor neighbourhood and to those who have already taken part in the survey.
Unfortunately, due to the current public health guidance related to Coronavirus, face to face visits have been put on hold.
If you are a Phase 1 resident and interested in participating in the study, the survey deadline has been extended and is now open until Sunday 14 February 2021.
You can find additional information about the project survey below and how to access the online questionnaire (or request a printed version).
The Inclusive Design research project and why Chobham Manor was chosen
Catalina is conducting a project centred on studying Inclusive Design. Inclusive Design is about creating spaces that are comfortable and welcoming for people of all ages, social background and physical and mental abilities. The buildings and urban area in Chobham Manor were developed applying Inclusive Design Standards, relating to the reason why your neighbourhood was selected for the study.
As in most cases, people using their space are the best judges to determine how well it’s fulfilling the intended purpose. The Inclusive Design research study will gauge what you think about your home and neighbourhood. The knowledge you have about your home and area, based on your everyday experience, would be incredibly valuable to understand what works, what doesn’t work and why.
Your views and insights captured in this study, will inform future projects, so we can continue to improve inclusive design standards and regulations.
