Project Log - Statistical Data from Regional Area

The following is data taken from an online source (www.aifs.gov.au) regarding families and lifestyle is more remote communities. If feel that it is important to understand the way in which social operate and uncover their strengths and weaknesses in order to create a master-plan can enhance a community, but most importantly why this is important to Woodfordia and how does it make a difference to the way we design.

It can be seen from this data that Australia has a large number of people living in rural areas. People living in rural areas value team activities rather that art and societal activities. This data seem to contradict the activities that occur in the Woodford area. The data also indicated that the people in more remote areas are satisfied with the safety of the conditions that they live in, this would seem to align with what we already know about Woodfordia and the surrounding area. The data suggest that even though many people live further away from major services, they seem to be satisfied with whatever services they receive  This gives clues as to what a community in a remote community may expect from a master-plan.
