  1. Redeemer/Zeidler center Neighborhood Mapping project Forming relationships, discovering assets

  2. Our 68 block mapping area

  3. Basic methods At least two mappers 90 minute time frame during daylight hours Walk the perimeter of one block Greet every human being Walk through every open door Ask, “What would make this neighborhood an even better place to live and work?” Form the friendly basis for a relationship

  4. First Stop, First Day Out

  5. What was in the Binder? • A map for each block, which we labeled and edited • A form with three questions: What are the buildings/spaces? What did you happen to find out? What should we look into more carefully? • We collected: business cards, emails, brochures, menus, phone numbers, quotes about the neighborhood, new relationships

  6. Mapping with ELS studentsAnwar, Abrar, and Awani

  7. What do we want from the data? • Redeemer Church: • Searchable database of contacts • Possible invitations • Informed launch of ministries • Sermon illustrations • Contextualized whole-block development • Whatever God the Holy Spirit wants!

  8. What we want from the data • Zeidler Center: • Searchable database of contacts • Invitees to our “Mad Hot Community Conversations” • Topics for “Mad Hot CCs” • Possible collaborative partners • Testing relevance of our mission and work for this location

  9. How will data be processed? • Google MapMaker updated with results • By whom? • Microsoft Access databases developed • By Marquette IT students • Each-block “narrative statement” drafted • By primary mapper • Other possibilities yet to emerge • “layer” data with other mapping projects?

  10. Examples of Collaborations Formed through Mapping • English Language Services • Mapping built into their curriculum • Renting space for overflow classrooms • And how do we “benefit”? • Assata High School • Use hall for Phy. Ed. Requirement • Use kitchen for fundraiser • Use Sanctuary for Opening Ceremonies, MLK • And how do we “benefit”?

  11. Unintended Blessings

  12. The Next Mapping Projects • (Redeemer) “What would you expect from a church in this neighborhood?” or “What would you want from a church in this neighborhood?” • (Zeidler) “What do we need to be talking about in this neighborhood?” • More traditional ABCD approach; locating and recording assets held in the neighborhood (collaborative project with other interested groups)

  13. Preliminary Results • Willingness to talk to strangers with red binder • Perceptions of the Neighborhood • Safer, better than 10 years ago • A positive place to be, overall • Perceptions of Marquette • Provider of security and public safety • Needing deeper engagement with the neighborhood • Desires for the Neighborhood • Stronger unified identity • More events • Maintaining uniformly “cared for” appearance • Grocery store

  14. The Marquette IT Database
