Where?

Allows you to identify the spaces—both physical and conceptual—where the activities take place and understand how the environment influences the outcomes. Understanding WHERE? we are situated helps us adapt our approach to the specific conditions, needs, and opportunities.  

Individual level

At the individual level the WHERE? question can be expanded to examine the personal environments in which participants engage in the activity. This could refer to physical spaces, such as a workspace, as well as the internal mental or emotional settings that may influence participation. 

1. Where will the activity take place, and in which ways might the physical space affect the activity? 
2. Where do the individual’s interests, thoughts and attitudes aling with or diverge from the goals of the activity? 
3. Where do potential barriers and opportunities for personal agency emerge in the environment? 

Community level

At the community level, WHERE? considers the collective spaces in which interactions and collaborations take place. It explores the community settings and environments that support shared activities, such as public spaces, virtual forums, or gathering places. 

1.  Where do members of the community come together to work towards shared goals? 
2. Where can resources and opportunities for collaborations be accessed?
