to assessing social and community-held aesthetic values is defining the communities who hold those values.  The approach adopted was based on analysis of previous studies and other data, and the expectation that an associated community would have direct experience of the place.  Given the nature of this place, this could occur through their experience of Anzac Parade as:
     * a visitor;
     * a participant in ceremonies;
     * an audience member for ceremonies;
     * a designer or creator or interpreter of this place in whole or part;  and
     * as an advocate for the creation of a specific memorial.

Others may feel a strong connection with this place because of a personal connection without having any experience of the place.  This could include those with:
     * a direct personal connection to the events commemorated here (eg. past or present service personnel);  and
     * a direct connection to a family member or ancestor associated with the events held here.

Last but not least, this place is part of a cultural landscape with national symbolic meanings, suggesting that all Australians may feel a connection, no matter whether they have visited or witnessed a public occasion here.

Recognising that each associated community may value this place for different reasons and may attribute values to different aspects of the place, care is needed in defining associated communities.

Three potentially associated communities were broadly defined as:
     * Australians;
     * the Canberra community;  and
     * the armed services community – including the Defence forces, service personnel (serving and retired), service families, service organisations, and others with particular connections to the memorials on/in Anzac Parade/Park.

Perspectives from representatives of two other nations, New Zealand and Greece, were also gained through interviews.

Based on this set of associated communities and considering the previous research and assessments reported above, possible methods for researching the values of each community were defined and assessed against the project scope and resources.

Methods and Results

The table below summarises the research methods that were used with each defined community.  The following section then details the research undertaken and the conclusions reached.

Australians
The significance of Anzac Parade for Australians was derived from:
     * earlier work undertaken on social and community aesthetic significance for the Parliament House Vista (Marshall and others 2010b) and Lake Burley Griffin (Godden Mackay Logan 2009);
     * published materials, including website information;  and
     * an art and literature review (see Section 4.4).
