Pedestrian Counts

• Pedestrian Counts - primary data - collected ourselves
• Pedestrian Counts - methodology

  • chose 3 different locations
  • set a 10-minute timer per location
  • recorded the amount of people who walked past in both directions using a tally
• Pedestrian Counts - advantages

  • little equipment needed
  • data is more accurate and trustworthy as we have collected it ourselves
• Pedestrian Counts - disadvantages

  • potential of human error - losing count, counting the same people multiple times
  • cannot differentiate between tourists and locals, therefore making this data not as useful for our hypothesis
• Pedestrian Counts' data can be represented through a bar chart
• Advantages of using a bar chart to represent Pedestrian Counts' data

  • the bigger the bar, the bigger the statistic
  • easy to compare - visual
• Disadvantages of using a bar chart to represent Pedestrian Counts' data

  • scale needs to be proportional for the graph to be easy to read
  • if the bars are similar sizes, it may be difficult to compare
• Future improvements for using a bar chart to represent Pedestrian Counts

  • scale/graph measurements in closer increments
  • ensure y-axis scale is appropriate
