1. Which are your top livability criteria? E. Environment G. Health Care H. Housing K. Job opportunities P. Transportation 2. Why do we live where we live? I live in Bogotá – Colombia north zone, this part of my city is very quiet and have a nice environment, my neighborhood “Mazuren” have a very good transportation, and for me it’s the most important reason for been here (because I study in the center zone). Also the neighborhood stays in a very good place because you have everything you need close, the commercial part, hospital, school, etc. 3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? Place of residence Transportation: 80/100 Environment: 90/100 Health care: 70/100 Housing: 90/100 Job opportunities: 50/100 City Transportation: 35/100 Environment: 40/100 Health care: 20/100 Housing: 30/100 Job opportunities: 20/100 4. What would you change? The first measure I would take will be in relation of the parking, in my place of residence is very common that the cars parking wherever they want even the signal is there for commercial things (they took the people to their places for 1 dollar) putting at risk the safety of people, but I thing that’s it in my residence place. 5. Why do we move? a) The park: this place promotes the exercise and the socialization and also has all you need to play basketball or football, this place is open to any person who wants to have a good time and don’t close. b) The stores: Here in Colombia we have something call the store of the corner, it’s the place where you can buy anything you can have in a market (in relation of food and cleanliness) but in fewer amounts, you can see it in every neighborhood. c) The streets (platform): I know that this is not an specific place but I think it’s very important for the connection of the places, so it have to be an very good looking place, in Colombia you always see the person who sells ice – cream, avocado or “empanada”, etc, in the street and it can sound weird but improvement the travel to any place, you always see the movement of the street, is the combination of commerce, trees, people, cars, toys….
