USC Sense of Place Study
University of the Sunshine Coast doctoral candidate Cimarron Corpé is conducting
research of Sunshine Coast residents’ sense of place and the linkages to climate
change. Under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Carter and Dr. Julie Matthews, this project
will provide valuable insight into residents’ connection with where they live, work and
play and understanding of environmental change.
The study investigates the nature and form of the relationship between place and
adaptive capacity to climate change (adaptive capacity), namely what aspects of place
are important to residents of the Sunshine Coast and what aspects of place are
important for adaptive capacity at the local level.
This study is open to all adults (18 years and above). Participation in this study is
voluntary and will involve a one-hour face-to-face interview. The research also asks
participants to present personal images (photographs, drawings, paintings) of what most
represents their sense of place on the Sunshine Coast.
Please contact me if you are interested in participating in this important study –
email: ccorpe [at] usc [dot] edu [dot] au or telephone: 0404 582 770. Your participation is valued and
very much appreciated!
This project has been approved by the University of the Sunshine Coast Human
Research Ethics Committee (Approval Number HREC: S/11/315).
