Cornell Students Conducting Surveys in the Field
An example of the many structures that visiting Cornell students photographed and recorded conditions of.
The Cornell University volunteers at the Beacon of Hope Lakeview office.
We recently underwent a training session to get the Limitless Vistas ready for the field.
The Limitless Vistas are shown exactly what they will be doing in the field and exactly what this work means to the recovery of New Orleans neigborhoods.
The Vistas are broken up into block captain groups for the collection of survey data. Photos are also integrated with the surveys.
The data the Vistas collect is immeasureably important as an indicator of resident recovery. Coupled with GIS, a clear picture of neigborhood recovery is shown after all the survey data is collected and analyzed.
