Background Discussion

1. Parallel Linkages (Hiller, 1998) - Side-effects of a mega-event which are not necessarily anticipated.

2.Examples of comparable housing developments in Toronto a) City Place (20 towers, 7,500 units)

b) Regent Park (5,115 units, 12,500 residents)

c) Pan-Am Games Village (4,000 residents)3. COHRE ReportMost in-depth analysis on impact of Olympics on communities

4. Official Olympic Games Reports Published shortly after Games and fail to address long-term sustainability of Villages norimpacts on surrounding communities. Tend to be biased.

5. Other Reports Miss the impact on surrounding neighbourhoods except to suggest real-estate prices have risen. No socio-economic or built-form references.

Research Methods

Quantitative1. Statistics Canada/Australian Bureau

of Statistics data, which will be layered

using the ArcGIS programs.

2. SPSS to determine to co-relation of

indicators

2. Benefit: Data already codified

3. Sample Indicators: a) Population change/

Immigration/Migration

b) Households

c) Labour

force d) Travel

*Like ward profiles in Toronto

Qualitative1. Utilize current and archival land-use maps

to identify change in built-form through image

overlay.

2. Photography as a Research Method

(ATLAS.ti)

3. On-site observation

4. Two focus groups in each case study city.

Approx. 8-10 persons in each. Advertisements

will be circulated through neighbourhood and

every effort will be made to include as

diverse a population group as possible.

Ethics & Issues

1. Ethics As people are being interviewing for focus groups, and ethics application will be necessary. Not necessary for statistical

data, built-form, nor personal observation. Participants will sign a release form.

2.Issues 1. Manual statistical geo-coding with Montreal data

2. Will not be able to provide full detail of change in Vancouver neighbourhoods due to the small lapse of time betweenresearch time and the end of the Games.

3. Variation issues with ArcGIS
