Case Studies  A Regeneration Strategy for Valletta. Il-Biccerija Case Study
Public Opinion
One cannot recommend a plan for an area without getting to know the residents and users of that area. A tool which is constantly used by planners, is the public opinion questionnaire and public participation. Questionnaires are a means to get in contact with people living in the area and the people using the area; it is only through such contact that one can identify the problems and needs of that area. Public involvement in a plan, would make the people, effected by the plan, feel part of that plan and "own" the plan. Through such questionnaire, the residents of Valletta can mention services which they find that are lacking in their city, and possibly they can recommend locations for such services. Such locations could be ideal activity nodes for the resident population. Similarly, the users of services provided in Valletta, that is the general public, could be involved in this plan by getting their opinion on the commercial and administrative parts of the city.
