APPENDIX B

The purpose of this inquiry is to examine the spatial extent of various indicators of social and economic integration eminating from an urban core area. To this end, a survey has been designed to be conducted by telephone. The survey attempts to measure the degree to which residents in outlying areas use the core for various activities.

Survey Provisions

Participation is voluntary.

Phone numbers were randomly generated and tabulation does not include identifiers.

Introduction

• "Hello, my name is ________ , and I am conducting a survey of the full time residents (italics indicate emphasis) living in the __________ area. The survey takes approximately one and a half minutes to two minutes to complete, and I am wondering if you have a moment?"

If not a full time resident of the indicated area, thank and terminate.

Read only if the respondant requires more information or is reluctant to continue:

• "The survey is being conducted in order to test methods of delineating a Central Metropolitan Area and therefore has to do with the use of different services and facilities in Kingston. Whether you do or do not use Kingston, your input is still very much valued and appreciated."
• "The survey is completely anonymous and not of a personal nature."
