The Growing Demand For Allotments ~~~ Research

[laurag1988]

Hi All Allotment Owners,

My name is Laura and I am currently in my final year at university studying Sociology.  For my final year project I am looking at the growing demand for allotments in the UK.  I have put together a questionnaire for allotment owners about their views on allotments and what they use their allotments for.  If anyone would be willing to help me with my research by filling out a 5 minute questionnaire could they please reply to this or email me.

Thank you for your time,

Laura.

Hi Laura.  Sorry to be cynical, but I've seen this exact same question asked several times now, and the methodology has been so obviously weak that it's a stretch to believe it's serious undergraduate research.  Do you have a university e-mail address?  Can we see the questionnaire?

Put the questionnaire on here and you'll get more joy Laura.    ;D ;D ;D

Hi all,

Thank you for the support so far and to everyone that has already completed a questionnaire for me.  Regarding other messages,  I would rather not post the questionnaire on here as the last thing I want to happen is people post their completed questionnaires back on here and then confidentiality and privacy can not be kept.  I am more than happy to email anyone a copy of the questionnaire whether it is for completion or criticism.  (Please don't be too nasty tho  :-[)

For further information,  I am using these questionnaires as the basis of my research, if i find there are gaps in the results I will be following them up with interviews with allotment owners in my local area.  Any further questions feel free to post on here or email me.

Laura.

Yes im worried the information may be used in a bad way, ie junk mail (to peoples homes) or the online kind, junk e-mails. People do sell e-mail addresses to companies.

Sorry hun, count me out.

[Deb P]

I'm also game. PM me amd I'll fill one in for you too.

[laurag1988]

I am pretty sure I cannot add attachments to PM's on here (if i can please let me know how) but if im right I will need email addresses to send the questionnaire to.  If you are ok with sending me your email address, PM with it and I will send you a questionnaire.

Thank you again to everyones support.

I don't mind PMing an email address, but if your questionnaire is Word/text document, couldn't you copy and paste it into an A4A PM?
