The purpose of this field study is to observe and interpret socioeconomic patterns in the University Hill district as you walk a transect that stretches from the University of Colorado campus to the termination of College Ave. near 5th St. Along the way, you can take notes at 10 observation points on how urban space on the Hill is being used by members of the Boulder community.
Please click here to open a window that contains the Field Procedure, which you can print and take with you on the walk. The Field Procedure contains questions for each of the 10 stops of the field study. Next, click here to open a window that contains the Field Map, which you can also print and take with you to the field. You may need to adjust the image size in order to fit the map onto one printed page (on most PCs you can do this under Properties in the Print menu. Macintosh users can do this under Page Setup in the File menu.).
You are now ready to enter the field! Please follow the directions on the Field Procedure, put on comfortable walking shoes, and remember to take a notebook and pen with you.
