The Purposive Evaluation of Places: A Facet Approach
Abstract
A multivariate, purposive model of the experience of places is offered as a theoretical basis for place evaluation. This model suggests a structure to the evaluation of places that may be generalizable across most settings. The structure derives from the definition of place evaluation as the degree to which a person sees a place as helping to achieve that person's goals at various levels of interaction with that place. In order to test empirically this framework, use is made of the facet approach to theory specification and hypothesis testing. Smallest Space analyses of two large scale questionnaire surveys, one of housing satisfaction and the other of hospital ward design, provide strong support for the purposive model. Implications of this multivariate model for future evaluations are discussed, together with the value of harnessing the facet approach to aid the development of evaluation theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
