Q Research Assignment No. 1 - Surveying my block/neighborhood This assignment entails observing the physical space and its social uses of your block (or neighborhood). The following are some of the questions that you can think about while doing the observation: • What forms of land use do you see? Do you see mostly businesses, residences, or public areas? • What do the buildings look like? What kinds of signs do you see? Do you see graffiti, murals, or public art? • What kinds of sidewalk activities do you observe? Who uses public areas? Is there a variation in terms of who uses these areas at different times of the day?

While conducting the observation on the physical space and its social uses of blocks within the neighbourhood, it was identified that the forms of land use was mostly residences and lands that can be further used for buildings. The area where I live in basically involves more of the residences than the business oriented areas or buildings. The area is very good in a way as majority of the buildings are residences or houses so there is not enough traffic or rush found within the area. It gets easier to be able to live within such an environment because it is very peaceful.
