What does quality of life mean to you?
๐๐;๐๐: ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ค ๐-๐ฆ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฒ (this is for academic research purposes to help us improve the quality of life of urban neighbourhoods).
I am in the middle of completing my PhD about how we can improve peopleโs quality of life regarding their neighbourhood and community.
This information will help planners and policymakers make smarter decisions in urban planning for a more socially and environmentally sustainable future.
For my final piece of research, I need your help.
I have created a survey to collect peopleโs opinion on what quality of life means to them and which urban characteristics contribute to a high or low quality of life.
Please could you take 3 minutes to quickly participate in this survey and share it with your family and friends. All data collected is completely anonymous.

Thank you so much for your help

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnโt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
