I am a student at the University of the West of England and I am in my final year of studying geography. I have chosen to do my final year project on who uses Allotments and why, to contrast and compare those in rural and urban environments with a purpose to find out what role the Allotment plays in our modern day society.

The following questionnaire should take no more than a couple of minutes of your time. Please answer the questions honestly and to the best of your ability.

Thank You

That didn't take long. Personally for Q11 my reason was other - "to get better quality food" which I think is the case for a lot of people.

personally, I would have asked about pesticides and artificial fertilisers in separate questions

how is the University of WOE these days? :)

That's a good point. I don't use pesticides, I do use a bit of growmore.

Actually, I do use slug pellets on seedlings, so that's a pesticide, but wouldn't use them on anything I'm going to eat soon. FWIW I think you need more questions to get meaningful data. You can always get rid of detail later, but you can never create it.

Rather simplistic for dissertation level. I have children but they are no longer living at home. Is that yes or no. Something wrong with question 11 it did not accept my answer.

I do not use pesticides but sometimes use artificial fertilsers.

Done and as everyone is being picky what if it was a short term relationship. :-X

Hi

thanks for all the feed back guys, will be very useful particularly in my concluding statement on what i would differently/could change in the future.

to those who mentioned it, i realise it isnt the best written questionnaire (not really my strong point i admit) but i believe it will give me the information that i need. It was a bit rushed as i had some problems getting access to allotments where was going to ask questionnaires origionly. This has ment that it has been more difficult than i would have preffered to change and improve on the questionnaire after putting up.

thanks to everyone who answered the questionnaire for me
