I am Paul Daugherty, a graduate student in the Department of Geography at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, and am conducting a research project to learn more about the spread of the Transition movement across the United States, and to determine whether urban design plays a role in the spatial distribution of Transition. This questionnaire will provide data to analyze this phenomenon. My graduate advisor, Dr. Denise Blanchard, Professor of Geography, will supervise this study.
This questionnaire will not ask any personal information as all questions are concerned with the built environment and experiences with the Transition movement. All information collected through this questionnaire will remain anonymous.
Participants will answer eleven questions that are both multiple choices and open ended. This study benefits all Transition initiatives in the United States as it may explain if and how urban design affects the Transition process.
