Abstract:
This paper presents a summary of the results of a social survey. The
survey was one of a series of studies of social aspects of urban redevelopment
and housing provision which the Department of Social Science,
University College Dublin, began in 1966 with the encouragement and
financial assistance of the Human Sciences Committee. It was primarily
an attempt to ascertain the effects of the move to a new housing estate
on the lives of the people concerned. Patterns of mobility and resettlement
and difficulties encountered in living in a new area were examined in some
detail and the aim was to obtain an empirically-based profile of one of the
new communities which are a feature of contemporary Dublin. The survey
was concerned with preferences about where to live, the implications of
the move to a new area for employment, family problems m a new area,
patterns of recreation, the housewives' ideas and suggestions about housing
design and estate layout, aspirations regarding children's education and
married women's interest and involvement in employment.
