Five forces:
I’ve chosen to use the campus where I work, and the mixed-use corridor between it’s location and the main downtown street in my town as the area of study.
Female-dominated areas: My domain includes part of a women’s college, and observed more women than men on those streets. A few blocks away, at the college where I work, I noticed certain study areas always have more women than men.
Educational: There are several churches, schools and studios in the area. I would be interested in seeing how educational activities represent a force in this area.
Events: With two colleges, the main downtown street, and an arts district within a few blocks from each other, there are certain areas that are very event heavy.
Kid-friendly: Parks, daycares and elementary schools? Age-specific events? What about the number of restaurants with kid menus or high chairs in this field? I see this as a layer on top of the events and educational.
Historic buildings: Which buildings are the oldest? Are any on historic registers?
