What were 3 three types of PRIMARY data used ?
- environmental survey
- questionnaire
- photo analysis
How and why was the environmental survey used ?
- selected different aspects e.g. litter, safety etc
- judged each from -5 to +5
- allowed us to compare
What were the weaknesses to the environmental survey ?
- our own judgement = subjective
- only done in one street per area = not representative
How and why was the questionnaire used ?
- asked 10 people about how safe they felt, how good the area is, how healthy they felt
- quantitative because it generated numbers
- qualitative because people gave their opinions
What were the weaknesses with the questionnaire ?
- only asked 10 / 1000s = not representative
- only went one day in the middle of the week = not seeing a wide range of people
How and why was the photo analysis used ?
- took photos of each area
- annotated them with notes about quality of life
What were the weaknesses with the photo analysis ?
- didn’t photos of the whole area
- may forget to annotate photos
What were the two types of SECONDARY data we used ?
- census data
- IMD data
How and why was the census data used ?
- gives background info on wards of Bristol
- helps us choose areas to compare
What were the weaknesses to the census data ?
- outdated (2011)
- may not be completely accurate
How and why was the IMD data used ?
- allows us to see most and least deprived areas
- helps us choose areas to compare
What were the weaknesses with the IMD data ?
- outdated
- may not be completely accurate
How did we choose our sites ?
- census data
- IMD
- close enough to colect data on the same day
- close enough to school to get there and back in one day
- risk assessment to make sure we would be safe and able to collect data
What 4 ways did we present our data ?
- census data = layer on map
- environmental survey = radar graph
- questionnaire = pie chart
- questionnaire = table of :) & :(
Conclude the results of quality of life
- clifton has best quality
- LW has the worst
- shown in environmental survey (make up figures)
- because clifton has best education
- shown in secondary data (79% a*-c)
- questionnaire scored highest in clifton
- primary data said LW had worse crime rate
- secondary data said centre had worst crime rate
- because centre is more popular at night = large number of people
Conclude how accurate and reliable conclusions were
- largely accurate
- primary results were supported by secondary results
- census and ES suggested clifton had best QOL
- primary methods were largely reliable but had issues
- ES was our opinion = subjective (improved through class average)
- only asked 10 in questionnaire
- secondary data was out of date
- mostly accurate but some improvements could be made by returning to the site on separate days
