• Data collection methods used

  • Decibel scale to measure noise levels
  • Surveys to collect groups of data together
  • Mood metre to recall mood at different points
  • Aroma map to recall smells at different points
  • Sustainability survey and Egan wheel to assess sustainability
• Advantages and Disadvantages of data collection methods

  • Mainly based on preference and opinion so wasn't factual and different for every person, subjective to the individual
  • Didn't use proper decibel metre, just estimated on scale so results not very accurate
  • Not many smells on smell test
  • Mood could have been affected by other things besides Battersea Power Station
• Presenting the data


  1. Displayed survey results in bar graphs

  2. Presented smell test, decibel test and mood metre results on a map

  3. Gave analysis for each presentation
• Advantages and Disadvantages of data presentation

  • Final presentation was quite good but could have included more detail
• What the results showed
• Conclusion of the investigation
• Evaluation of the investigation

  • Successful evaluation, could have included more detailed observations, would use more measuring equipment and survey more people if carried out again
