Recreational activities on earthquake-affected beaches in Marlborough: Sum…
Research papers, University of Canterbury Library
This survey was established by the University of Canterbury (UC) to assist the Marlborough community in recording and understanding the level and types of recreational beach uses that are occurring at present on the earthquake-affected coast. The questions were designed to capture a comprehensive view of recreational activities and interests and allowed for any activity, view or perspective to be recorded. All responses were anonymous and no identifying information was collected. The survey used an online format open to all interested people 18+ years of age (for informed consent reasons) over a two month period (October – November 2020). The geographic focus of the survey was the coastline between Marfells Beach and the Waima / Ure River which is the area under currently under consideration by Marlborough District Council for development of a new bylaw. However, the design of the survey questions also allowed respondents to record information pertaining to any other area.
