Development

Our project took has made quite a progression in terms of what we wanted to pursue for this mapping exercise.

We found that we needed to really figure out it what information we wanted to  find.  We have gone off on a bit of a tangent from what we originally was heading towards as we discovered collecting memories from people about places would be quite difficult to first obtain, then translate into data that we could analyse and map carefully. 

Rather than collecting stories/memories to show how a place with/by a body of water becomes significant by its telling we have decided to collect data to show how proximity to a body water can give more significance to property's value.


This idea came from discussions concerning the value of water and questioning this in terms of how it is valued in Auckland.

Previous post : "Auckland can be characterized in many ways with water. It is predominately surrounded by water and it is an area uniquely situated in between two main bodies of water:  Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean." 

We decided to collect some data along these two bodies of water.
