Dissertation Survey

1. Dissertation Survey

Hi, my name is Cameron Stark, I am currently studying my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at Edinburgh Napier University. I am conducting research on how people with disabilities experience the street environment and how factors such as pavement width, number of resting areas, tactile paving, presence of clutter etc, can limit participation and what can be done to enhance this experience. The questions will take no more than 10 minutes to answer. All responses are kept anonymous and you will not be asked for any identifying information such as email address or name. If there are any queries, please contact camstark4321@gmail.com. Thank you.
