After analysing the results, looking at the responses we received, starting off with the important question, wether or not there are enough social spaces, there aren't many. This brings us closer to the surface and makes it more visible and evident as residents are fully aware of the lack of social spaces. We learnt that residents feel that there are not enough social spaces.
We have discovered that even the few spaces that are available are not adequate enough. These spaces are concentrated towards the children and elderly. They aren't enough spaces dedicated for the youths.
From the results, we can also clearly see that the social spaces that are available in their respective neighbourhoods are being used occasionally. What are these spaces lacking of? Also, what draws people into them?
As it is evident that the public like engaging in activities and being outdoors, there should definitely be more social spaces available to them.
Many families have elderly members residing with them. Thus there should be places dedicated to them, so that they get there share of entertainment, communication and socializing.
A serious issue is the small size of Singapore. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about that. What can be done, is the utilisation of the spaces that aren't ordinarily used by us.
They social spaces may not be dedicated to any specific activity or age group. Their use may be very vague and general. To satisfy the interests of the public, spaces can be created in such a way as to cater to specific age groups and activities.
