Broadly Engaging with Tranquility – GIS Data Archive

This file accompanies the GIS data archive compiled as part of the ESRC project Broadly Engaging with Tranquility (BET). The project was carried out between February 2014 and June 2015 and was led by Dr Denise Hewlett of the University of Winchester. The present GIS archive is housed within three folders:

Auxilliary data: Data in ESRI Shape (.shp), Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), ESRI Grid and geoTif format that provides the baseline data on which the models were built;

Models: Data in ESRI Grid, geoTif and Microsoft Excel (.xlxs) format comprising various levels of interim and completed tranquillity models. Methodologies in Microsoft Word (.docx) format are included in a sub-folder explaining how each model was constructed;

Survey maps: Data in ESRI Shape (.shp), ESRI Grid, geoTif, JPEG (.jpg) and Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) format, providing original questionnaire and other survey data (all anonymised).

A general explanation of the GIS methodology can be found in the BET Project Report4, included in Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf) in the route directory, while a diagram showing the full archive data structure – BET Project data archive organisation - is also included in .pdf format in the route directory.

Broadly Engaging with Tranquility – Views on Traquillity (Qualitative & Quantitative Data Archive)

Other than GIS Data archived,  three Technical Reports are uploaded with their corresponding summary documents in Adobe Portable Document Format(.pdf).  We would urge readers to read these reports first and in order of I to III inclusive.  Project Report I details

the stages of research undertaken and therefore assists navigation through all documents. 

Project report I also provides information on Research Stages One & Three.  Appendices are uploaded separately.  Project Report II presents results from the Household Survey conducted. Project Report III provides information on the On-Site Surveys conducted.


All data collected is provided in the Appendices according to the stage of research undertaken.

Quantitative data resulting from the Household Survey and the On-site Surveys are provided in Spss Databases.(.sav)
