Beyond Imagination Life Survey: Topline Reports and Case Studies

ImaginationLancaster – Lancaster Universities design-led research lab, in conjunction with Lancaster City Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council commissioned BMG Research to conduct a wide-ranging ‘Life Survey’ interview to establish the views, attitudes and experiences of residents in each area. Lancaster City Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council priorities formed a key part of the survey development throughout, resulting in a survey structure which combines the needs of different stakeholders, based on four themes: Health and Wellbeing, Wealth and Opportunity, Sustainability, Transport and Travel and Connected Communities and Services. The Life Survey dataset was analysed by BMG Research who produced 3 Topline Reports - a report of survey insights in each area and a report comparing survey insights from the Lancaster District with Blackburn with Darwen. ImaginationLancaster collaborated with Connected Places Catapult to create a data visualisation dashboard which was utilised to create six Life Survey case studies interrogating a range of topics within the Life Survey data. The Life Survey questionnaire, a Data Analysis report by Connected Places Catapult and a Technical Report by BMG Research is also available.
