The three-hour workshop enabled participants to evidence their preference for public open space
features, expanding on what had been discussed in interviews. Participants were given a topographical
map and aerial photograph of Crookes Valley (Figure 1(n)) and Ponderosa Park (Figure 1(f ) and (m)) and
the area around Barkers Pool (Figure 1(h)). These places were identified as they offer a variety of designed
landscape features both in hard landscaped and naturalistic places, and offered a range of social, cultural
and natural features. Using the ELM process, code and key (Figure 2), participants produced personalised
maps of how they attached significance and value to certain locations, orientate themselves, notice
social centres, and identified areas of transition and movement and restorative places.
