Defining what sustainability and livability means to a community
Step One: Interview 5 people in their local community (e.g., family, neighbours) about what the terms Sustainability and Liveability mean to them (i.e., how they define these terms), and what makes, or would make, their suburb liveable (i.e., indicators of liveability).
Step two: Combine this data and analyses the outcomes of these interviews to develop a common view of both terms and a list of ‘key indicators of liveability'. Students must provide a group ‘summary' of analysis in table form in the appendices.
