Question 16

What is the evaluation of our results?

Answer 16

Reliable-> primary research, compared with other groups

NOT Reliable-> only looked at a small area of Bristol
Went on a day where the popularity of the harbourside was less, ie no markets, business were not open-> less representative of actual usage

TO BE MORE ACCURATE-> go on the weekend, or go on multiple different days at different times of the year-> holidays, weekend= more footfall + tourists, more accurate results

Question 17

What is the conclusion to the hypothesis?

Answer 17

Bristol has increased opportunities-> restaurants, offices, greenspaces,
Abandoned buildings-> repurposed from old use in ports

Firm conclusion-> evidence of land use mapping, photographs, primary research= reliable

ANOMALIES-> went on day where some businesses weren’t open, school/work day. Popularity= less accurate than in the holidays or weekend, more tourists, higher footfall, different land uses etc
FIRMER CONCLUSION= if we surveyed larger area of business OR went back on different days and times of the year
Use systematic sampling-> more data + areas
