GCHU Interns Ushika Kidd and Ozan Somyurek from Keble College have conducted primary fieldwork in two Healthy New Towns in Oxfordshire, to explore how these neighbourhoods use healthy-placemaking principles to promote the health and wellbeing of residents.
Ushika and Ozan used qualitative and spatial fieldwork methods to explore the various ways that the local environments in these Healthy New Towns can influence health and wellbeing. They presented the results of their fieldwork using the ArcGIS Online’s StoryMap feature, used to tell spatial stories.
