For our human fieldwork enquiry, we went to Heston village where we evaluated four factors consisting of litter, open space, buildings and noise at 11 different sites. This enabled us to assess the extent of regeneration that has taken place and the social impact it has had. As a result of this, we were able to conclude that Heston Park has been positively impacted by the regeneration with low levels of litter and noise, more developed infrastructure and a variety of open space. Opposingly, we analysed that the undeveloped areas surrounding the park were often nosier, narrower and less well well-maintained. This was not only an amazing educational field trip, but it was also an eye-opener as it made me aware of how change can affect an area and the consequences it has surrounding it.
