Independent Learning Activity : Windshield/ Walking Survey
Windshield or walking surveys are one of many tools that CHN’s use to gain a better
understanding of the communities they work in. For this assignment, you are asked to take a
walk and/or maybe a drive in the neighborhood you are living in.
Step 1: Identify your neighborhood – what are the parameters you will consider. Discuss with
your community teacher.
Step 2: Should I do a walking or driving windshield survey?
Step 3: Attached is a thorough list of categories and questions that are normally considered in a
Windshield or Walking survey. Read the list and try to answer the questions. Have you seen
your neighborhood this way before? What do you know about this neighborhood? What
information are you missing?
Step 4: Do your walking/ windshield survey. Maybe take a few pictures. Please remember it is
not professional or courteous to take photos of people without their permission.
Step 5: Complete the questions – with brief observations.
Step 6: Reflect upon what you have learned from this activity. Did you see the neighborhood
different, when looking through a professional CHN lens?
Step 7: Share with your team in the group meeting discussions –as guided by your community
instructor.

Boundaries Are the boundaries geographical, political, or economic? Do neighborhoods have names? Are there sub-communities? How are these identified? Housing and Zoning What is the age of the buildings? Are the residences single family or multifamily dwellings? Signs of Decay Is the area well maintained or in disrepair? Is there garbage strewn? Are there trashed/abandoned cars, places for rodents or other wildlife to hide, vacant lots? Parks and Recreational Areas Are there play areas for children and adults? Are they safe and maintained? Is there a Community Center? Who uses them? Common Areas Where do people collect for social gatherings; where do they “hang out”? Are they for particular groups or are they open to all? Are there signs posted? Stores What stores (grocery, retail, drug, dry cleaning, etc.) are in the area? How do residents travel to them? Transportation How do most people get around the area? Is there public transportation? If so what kind and does it appear to be used? Who uses it? What is the condition of the streets, roads, highways?
