Negative environmental influence on physical and mental well-being of pop-up village residents Gaps in awareness of pop-up village organizers on how they might improve location/venue curation process and the overall experience of their citizens Inefficient feedback mechanisms that the residents could use to voice environmental factors that influence their experience Interview
