Healthy Streets data
Accessing & analysing more data
We collect anonymised data from all the completed surveys.
You can access all the data you have generated as pdf reports from your account. If you want your data in another format you can contact us and we will provide you with your data in another format. There will be a data processing fee associated with this.
If you want data for the surveys completed in a particular place and/or time you can contact us and we will collate this for you. There will be a data processing fee associated with this. For example you may want to see all the completed surveys in one neighbourhood.
We can also provide analytical reports comparing different places and times, trends over time, patterns in the demographics of survey respondents etc. For example, you may want to compare survey results before and after a project was implemented in a neighbourhood. You may want to see how scores vary by the type of people who completed them or the time of day the surveys were done.
If you want to integrate the Healthy Streets survey tools with other platforms or this survey data with other data sets let us know. For example, you could be using this survey as part of the community engagement in planning a street project which involves multiple data sources.
Combining data from different Healthy Streets Tools
All the Healthy Streets tools are based on the 10 Healthy Streets Indicators but each measures something unique. There will be similarities in scores produced by the quantitative Healthy Streets tools but they will not all produce the same score. Some tools are measuring how people feel, some are measuring technical dimensions of the street layout, some reflect the connectivity of the street in a wider transport network, some include the surrounding buildings as well as the public space, some measure how people are using the street and some do not.
When we examine the data for a street drawn from the range of different tools we can get the fullest understanding of how healthy that environment is. We may find that a street is well situated and well connected, with clean air and generous space for walking and yet still it does not score well when we ask people how they feel about it. This could be because a factor that affects people’s feelings have not been captured in the other tools.
If you are looking to plan or evaluate a project we recommend that you consider collecting data from a range of sources to give you a rounded understanding of your project location. As a minimum we recommend a measure of how people feel on the street, a measure of how people are using the street and a measure of how the street is designed and laid out.
