Community Mapping

This project is a joint research project with DCC and DCOSS. It is a pilot study about providing base line information on what is happening in Caversham. It has three phases, the first being to develop a stock take of the physical resources that exist in Caversham. Including community halls, sport facilities, schools and churches. The second phase is to develop a stock take of all the groups / clubs / organisations that exist in the area. Thirdly we are looking at the formal and informal networks that exist in Caversham. This part of the project is to determine how connected the community is to each other. We have completed the first two stages of this research and are in the process of developing a web based map database that will allow users to locate the physical facilities and the user groups. By combining information from the Dunedin Directory, with permission from the various groups, we will be able to provide information in this format for all of Dunedin.
