A graduate student with the Urban Studies program at Simon Fraser University is looking for participants for a masters research study titled: Exploring the role of the outdoor built environment for aging in place: A look into the False Creek South neighbourhood.
The intention is to understand older adults’ ages 65+ years perspectives on aging in place issues and impacts of the outdoor physical environment on their ability to remain in False Creek South for as long as possible.
The study involves an online semi-structured interview over Zoom video online conference. The interview will be approximately 45 minutes long. Participation is completely voluntary and you may withdraw from the interview at any time. The study is completely anonymous, it does not require you to provide your name or any other identifying information.
This study is being done by City of Vancouver staffer, mom, AND graduate student Beverly Chew .
Bev is specifically seeking older adults ages 65+ years living in False Creek South to participate in a photo-taking and photo documentation activity, followed up with an interview. You can email Beverly at beverly_chew@sfu.ca for further information.
And here’s a photo of me with Beverly Chew~this was actually the last public event I attended before Covid lockdown at Surrey’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University, hosted by Professor of Geography Dr. David Sadoway.
Disclosure: I had the opportunity to work with Beverly at the City of Vancouver where she specialized in multicultural public planning processes. She is also a trained chef and makes fabulous laksa.
