Who? Acadia Park Spaces is a research project by Acadia Families for Sustainable Communities and Ana Brandusescu, a Geography student at McGill University.
What is this for? Acadia Park Spaces was created to share your thoughts about places in Acadia Park. What places do you love in Acadia Park? What places would you like changed? Voice your opinion about special places in your community for future UBC planning.
Ana is interested in technological and geography based questions. Can people use mobile phones and the web to talk about community development through a mapping platform? How technologically easy is it to do? How hard is it? Where are the places community members are talking about? Where do messages cluster? Where do messages not cluster?
Important: Please make sure to include a specific location to which your message refers. A message cannot be mapped if there is no location.
Consent: Sending messages is an implied consent that your data will be shown to anyone who visits this site.
