‘Living in the City’ Survey

Participants answered approximately 140 open and closed questions about the positive and negative social, environmental and economic impacts they experience as residents of inner-urban high density dwellings. The ‘Living in the City’ questionnaire was developed to assess the following key areas:

• satisfaction with current dwelling;
• satisfaction with neighbourhood features and neighbours;
• impacts from noise, odours, pollution and smoking;
• quality of life and social capital;
• recycling, water and energy use; and
• travel and vehicle use. 

Participants also provided standard demographic information including age, gender, education, income, marital status, and household details.
