The interviews were held on 4 August, the second day of the interdisciplinary project. We conducted surveys with Singaporeans living in the mainland (or the 'urbanites') and the residents in Pulua Ubin (urbanites). The surveys were carried out mainly to find out the views of the public regarding the redevelopment of Pulau Ubin. A questionnaire was planned a day earlier. After the surveys, the data was collated and analysed.

Introduction

Wenjun and Zi-Ming conducted the surveys. The location was in the Central Business District, and our targeted sample size was twenty. After exchanging data with the other groups, our eventual sample size was 30. Questions asked included whether the interviewee supported development of Ubin, and whether the interviewee was aware that redevelopment was going to take place, and whether the interviewee has visited Ubin before. Others points like race, age, sex was noted.

The objectives of the mainland survey were to find out how aware the urbanites were of the plans to redevelop Ubin, and whether they supported the plans. The survey was also conducted to find out how race, age, or sex affected the public's view of the matter.

Our Findings are briefly displayed in the following chart: 

The following conclusions can be drawn from our findings: -

• 60% of the people interviewed have been to Pulua Ubin. Of this 60%, 100% said that they enjoyed their visit to Pulua Ubin. This shows how Pulua Ubin has contributed to the recreation of Singaporeans. The natural ambience is hardly found anywhere else in the country.
• 50% of the people interviewed are aware of redevelopment plans. This shows that only about half the mainland population of Singapore is aware about such matters.
• 63¹/₃ % of the people interviewed said they supported plans to redevelop Ubin. These people state that if there is a need for development, it must take place. A few stated that all form of development is good. However, the remaining 36²/₃ % do not support such plans. They stated that we should leave nature untouched. Interesting though, is that most of the people in the 50s and 60s age group seem to support development, while most of the people in the 30s and 40s age group do not support development.
