human- WEYMOUTH URBAN REGENERATION

• Why was weymouth a good example- provides a good example of regeneration on a measurable scale ( within a day)
• why was weymouth a suitable location- areas of regenerated and unregenerated in the past 20 years. near where we stayed on the field trip (easily accessable)
• date collection method 1- questionnaire- attitudes towards regeneration.
• data method 1 questionaire- random ( remove bias) sample size 1 per person
• data collection method 1 questionaire- justification- provides peoples views

  regeneration and its positive and negative impacts
• Data collection method 1 questionaire- strengths-

  simple and easy to understand

  helps collect peoples veiws quickly.
• data collection method 1 questionaire- weakness

  not everyone stops so sample age biased

  some people may not fully understand the question limited sample size
• data collection method 2- environmental quality survey (eqs)

  sampling method- 1 per group at each site- randomly selecting where to do survey removes bias = more accuracy
• data collection method 2 environmental survey- description of method

  completed eqs for each site making judgments about the impact of urban regeneration 12 categories assessed from -3 to 3
• data collection method 2 environmental quality survey - justification- provides an overview of the impact of regeneration on the environment of the 2 sample sites (brewers quay and pavilion) quantitative result so can compare
• date collection method 2 environmental quality - strengths

  provides an overview of the environmental impact

  compare individual and total scores for each site

  averages reduce the impact of outliars
• date collection method 2- environmental quality survey- weaknesses-

  subjective- biased opinions

  only visisted 2 sites
• urban regeneration in weymouth risks- traffic being hit by a car- mitigated by crossing roads together in a line while being supervised by teachers
• urban regeneration in weymouth risks- working in the town centre means you could get lost- worked in small groups and had eachothers phone numbers
• data collection method 3- pedestrian count

  sampling method- systematic

  sample size- 1 person at each location
• data collection method 3- pedistrain count

  description of method-

  counting the number of people at each site ( paviallan and brewers quay)
• data collection method 3 pedistrain count strengths

  simple and easy to do collect data easily
• data collection method 3 pedistrian coun weakness

  limited sample size only (5 minutes in one location)

  may have mis counted or counted twice
• data collection method 3 pedestrian count justifcation

  shows wether regenerated areas are busier then non

  combined group scores and calculated a mean for each site
• data presentation methods- method 1 - barcharts/ piecharts (questionaires)
• data representation method 1 pie charts and bar charts strengths

  useful for comparing things between different groups

  put them next to eachother and can compare easily

  quite visual- helps identify similarities and differences
• data representing method 1 pie charts and bar charts weaknesses

  quite simplistic

  required people to make visual comparisons- subjective opinions
• data representing method 2 - bi-polar diagram (using eqs data)

  strengths

  group average is provided which reduces the impact of outliars

  summary of diagram is visual- easy to see main differences between 2 sites

  size of shaded areas make easier to compare
• data representing method 2 bi polar diagram EQS WEAKNESSESS

  interpretation of diagram is subjective- based on people making a visual interpretation
• data presentation method 3- flow line map pedestrian count

  quick and easy to make visual way to compare
• data representation method 3 flow line map pedestrian count

  weaknessess

  subjective scale is used to quite small so difficult to show differences between locations
• WHAT OTHER METHODS CAN BE USED TO PRESENT YOUR DATA?

  could have presented the environmental quality survey on bar charts
• HYPOTHOSIS- URBAN REGENERATION HAS HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT
