Data were collected through a mixed-method approach combining GIS-based spatial mapping, remote sensing and satellite image review, and on-site field surveys documenting vegetation structure, habitat conditions, hydrological features, and fire-related vulnerabilities. These observations were supported by photographic recording (and drone imagery where available), desk-based review of planning documents and environmental reports, and stakeholder engagement through semi-structured interviews and co-design workshops to translate ecological and water-sensitive findings into practical planning and design guidelines.
