Questionnaire developed as part of a Summer Research Scholarship project undertaken at VUW. The survey is accessible through the QR code in the pdf and through the link below and will only take 5-10 minutes to complete. Thank you!!
vuw.qualtrics.com...

Some background information:
A 20-minute city (or neighbourhood) is one where most of your essential amenities are accessible within a 15-20-minute walk or easy bike ride of your home, with a wider range of services and workplaces connected via well connected public transport routes. It encourages people to live locally and invest in their neighbourhood as well as the wider city. Moreover, this could help reduce the number of short car journeys people take.

To ensure there are enough people to support a range of amenities and public transport, the concept encourages increased density and mixed-use buildings in and around neighbourhood centres, with density decreasing as we move further out. This density change helps ensure there can be diverse accommodation options within a single neighbourhood, giving more people the opportunity to live there.

Your participation will support this research by helping us to better understand the current ways that people in New Zealand use their immediate neighbourhood, and their individual perceptions of that neighbourhood. As well as helping us to identify what changes could be made to improve our neighbourhoods and how people’s patterns of movement might be affected.

This research has been approved by the Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee #30072.

Are there any kids out there in need of a flash new, shiny red bike with rad as lights in the wheels??

This bike has been ridden only a handful of times and is in perfect condition!

Looking for $70 (paid a tonne more for it)

The Rocket Blast is a BMX styled 20'' kids Bike packed with fun, the single gear is uncomplicated for young riders and low maintenance, the aluminium frame construction keeps the weight down while also being much more corrosion resistant than a steel frame. The rear coaster brake inspires confidence while the special kid's specific short reach front brake lever allows the rider to learn to use handlebar brakes with ease. This is the perfect Bike for knocking around the neighbourhood or skate park.

Price: $70

Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?
