To finish with this project we are going to present well the results and the conclusion. It will be better explained than in the presentation.
About the results, we have measured the factors and in three different ways.
The factors are tolerance and discrimination, leisure, services and the peer group.
The first one, tolerance and discrimination, was measured with a survey. There were two types of surveys, one for people who lives in selected neighborhood, and another for the gay collective. The weight of this factor was 40%. We have done the “general” survey to 24 people, 6 per neighborhood; we have tried to do 2 surveys for seniors, 2 for families and 2 for young people. On this way, with a little sample we have a big range of age.
In Barrio Salamanca, in question number one, 4 people have answered that they don’t mind if homosexual collective is discriminate, and two people answered that they think is a normal population. On question number two, if they think that gays are discriminated, 2 people think that yes, they are and 4 people think that they are not discriminated. In questions number 3 and 4 all people think that Chueca is the better place two live for them and is the place where they normally live. In question number 5, 2 people said perhaps, two yes and two no, in the question number six, four people said yes and two no. In question number seven all people said yes, that in Chueca are a lot of homosexual peer groups. In the question number eight match all people too, they choose a (night clubs), b (restaurants, bars) and c (spa’s, public swimming pool, colleges..).
In Villaverde neighborhood, in question 1, two people said that they don’t mind and four people that is a normal population. In second question, two people answered “I don’t know” and four people said no, they are not discriminated. In question number 3 and 4, all people match in Chueca. In questions 5 and 6, all people answered no, they don’t mind if its neighbor were homosexual, neither if they had children. In question number seven everybody said yes, that they think there is a lot of homosexual peer groups in Chueca, and in question number 8, six of six think that homosexual people want a, b and c, like in barrio Salamanca.
In Francos Rodriguez, in question number 1, two people answered “I don’t mind” and four people think is a normal population. In question 2 everybody answered that gays are not discriminated. In question 3 and 4 all people said Chueca. In question 5 and 6, six of six answered no. in question seven everybody think that there are a lot of homosexuals in Chueca (yes). And in question 8, they have said the same than in the others neighborhood (a, b and c)
In Chueca, in question number one, all people think that is a normal population, in number two, everybody think that they are not discriminated, in number 3 and 4, six of six answered Chueca, in number 5 and 6 all people said no, in number 7, four people said yes but 2 people answered “not a lot” and in number 8, the same, night clubs, restaurants, spa’s, colleges..
The second survey, which we have done to gay people, have more general results, due to it was an open-ended survey. We answered about our questions to eight gays men. Usually, in the first question, they answered that they are comfortable everywhere if they are not discriminated against or looked rarely.
In the second question, where we asked them if they think that nightlife is an important factor when you are going to choose where to live, due to the gays people fame, they answered that nightlife it is important to choose the city, but not the neighborhood.
In question number 3, do you think that all homosexual people want to live in Chueca? They said no, maybe some gays from others cities that think that Chueca will be better.
In question number 4, is someone of your peer group living in Chueca? Someone told us that he has some friends living in Chueca, but they live there for other reasons, not for being gay. Maybe some gays from others cities that think that Chueca will be better
In question 5, do you think that people discriminate homosexuals? They usually answered us no, that there are old thoughts people everywhere, but in general they feel accepted.
In question 6, what would you like to have in your neighborhood? In general, they answered subway stations, close to city center, shops and stores, some late clubs, or close parks. Others said that they want to have some good schools and parks for children, so in the future they pretend to have children.
For us this has been the most difficult factor to measure.
The second factor, leisure, was measured searching in internet and reading tourist guides of Madrid, where users who give their opinion and are familiar with these neighborhoods. Also we visit the different neighborhoods to see how bars, night clubs and other leisure places are in the different district. Chueca is the neighborhood with the high number of places like that.
The third and the fourth factor to measure was peer group and services, with surveys that we did to gay people, we could see that they worry about this factor like any other person, so it depends on the person if that factors have more or less important for him.
As a conclusion after carrying out the survey to these 24 people from the selected neighborhoods we found that the responses depend on the district and the age of people.
In general, elderly people with closed minds believe that homosexuality is not normal or they don’t must to have children. However, younger people believe that they are normal and they can be parents perfectly.

Moreover, we have analyzed the results in terms of neighborhoods. We have obtained that in Barrio Salamanca people are stricter in their ideas, with oldest thoughts, so they don’t agree with homosexual thoughts.
In Villaverde don’t give importance to this group, because since it’s a “marginal” neighborhood, all coexist in the same place without discrimination or distinctions.
In Francos Rodriguez, we get consistent results, as people claim they don’t discriminate homosexual and they respect their sexual orientation.

Finally in Chueca, known for homosexual activity, clearly respects all people, as it’s an open minded, modern and bohemian place.
To conclude the project, we can say that people think that Chueca is the better neighborhood for gays to live. In our investigation, apart from the surveys, we have proved that is the best place where they can carry better their lifestyle and where they are most including, which doesn’t mean that in other neighborhoods don’t feel comfortable
In gays opinion, there are neighborhood where accept better homosexual people and where they feel more comfortable, but not necessary Chueca, they feel right in most places.
