Wholeness of Place Evaluation Table: Town of Anglesea
Description
To capture the ‘wholeness of place’ as described in Chap. 11, the 15 Properties of Wholeness are
recorded in the Wholeness of Place Evaluation Table of the sample town Anglesea. Attributes identified are listed within the town boundary, and within the catchment boundary (larger regional area)
according to the 15 properties, which are interpreted and allocated a value score.
Scoring and Evaluation
Quality Score: 3 – Strong, 2 – Evident, 1 - Weak
Although attributes can be identified that represent the 15 properties of wholeness, in various
instances the qualities of the attribute (or combination of the attributes) can be strong or weak in relation to the substantiation of the properties of wholeness. To be able to indicate how strong or weak the
quality of the attribute(s) is that represent that specific property of wholeness, each of the fifteen
properties have been given an evaluated Quality Score between 3 and 1, where 3 indicates the highest
quality, and 1 represents the weakest. The 15 properties have been identified and scored within the
town boundary, and also within the larger region/catchment boundary.
The Fifteen Properties of Wholeness
The 15 Properties of Wholeness (based on the 15 Fundamental Properties by Alexander, 2001–2005,
pp. 144–294),

are described in in Chap. 10. The 15 fundamental properties used for the evaluation are:
1. Levels of Scale
2. Strong Centres
3. Boundaries
4. Altering Repetition
5. Positive Space
