They aimed to test the hypothesis: ‘The higher the number of amenities in Jurong Town, the higher the sense of place for residents. ’ They conducted a semi -structured interview with one of the residents in Jurong Town. Study Fig. 1.2 below, which shows the semi-structured interview conducted by the students. (i) Annotate on Fig. 1.2 to highlight text that is relevant to the hypothesis about the relationship between the number of amenities and the sense of place for residents. Semi-structured interview Fig. 1.2 [3] Interviewer: Hi, we’re looking into how the number of amenities in Jurong Town affects residents' sense of place. Could you describe what amenities you frequently use in Jurong Town? Resident: I use quite a few amenities regularly. The shopping malls like JEM and Westgate are my go-to places for shopping and dining. I also visit Jurong Lake Gardens often for jogging and picnics. The libraries and community centres are also important to me and my family. Interviewer: How important are these amenities to your daily life? Resident: Very important. They make life more convenient and enjoyable. Having a variety of amenities nearby means I don’t have to travel far for anything, whether it's shopping, recreation, or educational resources for my kids. Interviewer: Could you describe how these amenities influence your sense of place or attachment to Jurong Town? Resident: These amenities make me feel more connected to Jurong Town. They provide spaces where I can meet friends, participate in community activities, and spend quality time with my family. The presence of these amenities makes Jurong Town feel like home to me. Interviewer: That's interesting. If Jurong Town were to add more amenities, what types would you like to see, and how do you think they would impact your sense of place? Resident: I’d love to see more cultural and recreational facilities, like theatres or art galleries. Also, more green spaces and parks would be great. These would provide more opportunities for community gatherings and leisure activities, further enhancing my connection and sense of belonging to Jurong Town. Interviewer: Thank you for your insights.
