5Rs SURVEY RESULTS
Results of the 5R's Survey November 2012A qualitative and quantitative survey was carried out with Hinemihi’s People at a series of community building events in the summer of 2012 by Cathy Tully, as part of her research for a Dissertation for the UCL MA in Principles of Conservation. The survey was also sent via email to Ngati Hinemihi in New Zealand, Ngati Ranana in London and National Trust at Clandon Park, the three main groups associated with Hinemihi’s care and maintenance. The people surveyed were from various backgrounds, but most had at least a loose association with Hinemihi. Participants in the survey were asked to rate their preference for the 5 conservation options for Hinemihi (The 5 R’s). Between May and August 2012, 112 responses were collected.
The results point to a clear preference for 2 of the 5 Rs (R2 Restoration and R4 Redevelopment) and a rejection of 3 of the 5 Rs (R1 Repair, R3 Reuse, R5 Relocation).
A summary of the quantitative results of the survey are presented in a ‘Dialogue with Hinemihi’s People’ along with a growing list of community building events at Himenihi since 1986. The next stage of this conversation between Hinemihi’s People will be to ask for responses to these two options for Hinemihi’s future conservation.
Update 2013: The results of the 2Rs survey, reveal a clear preference for R4 Redevelopment!
