Mapping sacred spaces

PROCESS

In the first week, we got an introduction to the team and an introduction of what the project is all about. We tried to define sacred by what we considered sacred and doing our own research about sacred places form previous academics. We visited different places that were considered sacred and wrote notes about our experiences.

week 1

week 2

This week we began designing and finalising potential ideas for the public engagement part of the research. We finalised our idea and worked on the design of our idea as well as the consent form to go alongside it. We also came up with a way of imputing the data for the leaflet. We visited a range of places in the city centre that people consider sacred.

week 3

We finished the final version of the leaflet and the map and went to public places to get people to fill them in. We created a spreadsheet to input all of the information that we had gained. We went to a cultural heritage event to further understand the meaning of sacred and see if we could people to fill out the leaflets while we were there. We continued going to public places to gain more responses using the leaflets.

week 4

This was we have been mainly preparing for the final week of the project. Therefore we have been finalizing the input of the data from the questionnaires and started analysing it so next week we can use the information gathered for the map and the poster. We have also begun sketching ideas for the conceptual map about sacred spaces in Nottingham.
