Step 5: What are the issues?
You will want to identify the key issues that will affect the future of the place.
In Step 3 you may already have identified a range of issues when looking at what information is available about the place. There is a basic guide for the type of issues you should consider.
There are many ways to identify a comprehensive range of issues, and how you do this will depend on your circumstances. Some techniques are:
- brainstorming either individually or with a group
- a public meeting
- a workshop or focus group
- a survey
- consultation with stakeholders about issues and/or
- a SWOT analysis which is a very effective tool for summarising issues.
Because you may generate a lot of information about issues, some of it conflicting, you may need to identify your priority issues.
