The TRANSECTS project is exploring how offshore energy industries – such as offshore wind and oil & gas – are shaping everyday life in coastal communities in Aberdeen, Orkney, and the Humber region.
As part of the Transitions in Energy for Coastal Communities over Space and Time (TRANSECTS) project, an interactive online mapping survey invites people who live or work locally to pinpoint meaningful locations and share their experiences.
The TRANSECTS team are particularly interested in collecting community experiences of social and cultural changes associated with marine energy: from shifts in local infrastructure and access to coastal spaces, to environmental and visual transformations, and how these developments influence the identity and character of places.
The survey is open to people who live, work, or spend time in coastal areas of Aberdeen, Orkney, or the Humber region. You can access the survey via this link: https://app.maptionnaire.com/q/transects
The TRANSECTS team would appreciate any support in sharing the survey – especially within networks and contacts in Aberdeen, Orkney, and the Humber region. Please consider circulating it through newsletters, email lists, social media, or community noticeboards. Promotional materials, including social media cards and posters are available upon request and there is an existing LinkedIn post for sharing.
