Week 1 Project

Aggregate Community Windshield Survey

The windshield survey assignment is due in Week 2. It is introduced in Week 1 to provide you with sufficient time to collect the required data. The assignment should be no more than 3 pages in length.

Windshield Surveys

With the use of public transportation or by driving a vehicle around the community, you can assess the common characteristics of the community of your selected aggregate. Key observations to make during a windshield survey include the following:

Age and condition of the homes in the community

Location and condition of parks and other recreational areas

Amount of space between homes and businesses

Neighborhood hangouts

Transportation in the community

Quality of streets and sidewalks

Types/numbers of stores and other businesses

People out in the community

Race/ethnicity

Cleanliness of the community

Billboards or other media displays

Places of worship

Availability of services—doctor, dentist, social centers, recreation centers, hospitals

By the due date assigned, submit your proposal to your instructor for approval.

In addition to the data collected in the windshield survey, include the following information about your aggregate:

Name of the aggregate

Geographical location and size

Population

A brief history

Explain, giving at least two reasons, why you selected this particular aggregate for your Capstone project.
