Day 5 Research Team Presentations: Preliminary findings

Day 5 aimed at sharing preliminary findings of the research that research groups have undertaken so far. 8 Research Groups presentated their findings on the basis of Assignment 3.

Assignment 3: assessment and presentation

Using the quantitative data collected and analysed during the week, and keeping with the theoretical discussions on deindustrialisation and urban shrinkage, write an assessment of your main preliminary findings about Zonguldak and prepare a presentaion. For the write up, you should produce an assessment of the extent to which Zonduldak is de-industrialised and experienced urban shrinkage, and the  challenges that these changes brought about to the city. The audience to which you are writing might be the local authority of Zonduldak. In making your assessment you should draw on the systematic quantitative and qualitative data gathered and analysed by your group.

The 8 groups did really great and contributed a lot to give us an initial idea of what kind of a city we are visiting. The big zonguldak team had their second after-work meeting at the pier in the small village fishermen's village of Urla. Had great fun of course!
