The respondents were further requested to indicate the place where they would like recreation facilities to be located in Umlazi. The preferred areas were as follows:

1. 
   C
   PU = The most Central Place in Umlazi;
   
2. 
   APU = The most Accessible Place by transport in Umlazi;
   
3. 
   EESe. = In Each and Every Section; and
   
4. 
   EESc. = In Each and Every School found in Umlazi
   

Having looked to the question of location and the time travelled to recreation facilities, the research thereafter turns on to look into the question of the accessibility of recreation facilities. 74% of the respondents have shown a feeling that the recreation facilities in Umlazi are not easily accessible. In addition to the inaccessibility of facilities, 95% of the respondents have expressed a feeling in the research that recreation facilities in Umlazi are insufficient.

The respondents were further asked about the types of recreation facilities to be provided in Umlazi, the responses were as per figure 8 above. below.

Closely related to Figure 8 above the respondents were further requested to indicate any four recreation facilities that they think need to be urgently provided in Umlazi. Their responses are categorised in terms of gender and age groups in Table 5.4. The rationale behind this categorisation in the research is to find out whether is there any difference in terms of recreation demand from the different age groups and members of different sex.
