Fieldwork (theme 4) Flashcards
Bury: Hypothesis changes over time
Bury has become more of a clone town
Bury: Risks associated
-Bad weather may make sheets unreadable
Type up results online
-Wearing unsuitable clothing may make people injured
Wear suitable clothes
Bury: Why Change over time hypothesis
To see how an area develops over time
Primary data
Data you collected directly
Secondary data
Data from published sources
Quantitative data
Data with a numerical value
e.g age distance
Qualitative data
Data without a numerical value
e.g colour texture
Bury: Example of primary data collected
Questionnaire (clone town survey)
Bury: Evaluate primary data collected
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-Interviewed members of the public to get their opinion on the safety in Bury. This meant I could get a wider view of more people’s opinions to make my work more accurate.
However, I interviewed at 10 o’clock so I did not get the views of people who worked making my survey less accurate
-Random Sampling to get a view of more of the general population and remove bias
However, there may have been internal bias and picking of whoever was closest.
Bury: Example of Secondary data collected
Google Maps for clone town survey
Bury: Evaluate secondary data
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-Google Maps to see how Bury has changed over time and view whether or not it has been more of a clone town in the past.
+This was useful because it was a view into the past and I could see what shops used to be there and how many more chain stores there were in the past compared to independent
-However, It was secondary data and some paths weren’t available to view online so not all accurate
Bury: Example of Quantitative data used
Clone town survey
Bury: Evaluate Quantitative data
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-I went up and down each area of bury and counted how many Chain and Independent stores there were as well as the type of stores. Did the same for past years on Google Maps
-This was useful as I could easily investigate my hypothesis
-However, I may have seen a shop and not realized it was Chain, and on Google Maps not all streets are there to view.

Bury: How presented Clone town survey
Bar graph
Bury: How presented Questionnaire
Bar Graph
Bury: Why Index of Decay Radar Graph
-Easy to view and interpret
-However, cannot view all sites at one time
Bury: Why Clone Town Survey Bar Graph
-Easy to view and see the difference between the amount of Chain and Independent stores
-However, Does not take into account the types of stores
Bury: Why Questionnaire Bar Graph
-Easy to view and interpret and see a difference
-However, Too simplistic
Bury: Data analysis of clone town survey
The arc is more of a clone town but St Johns Street and the butter market are more of a Hometown
Bury: Data analysis of Questionnaire
More residents than visitors, people feel safest in the arc and the least safe in St Johns street
Bury: Data analysis of Radar Graph
People feel safest in the arc and the least safe in St Johns street
Felixstowe: Hypothesis for mitigating risk
All of Felixstowe seafront is in need of regeneration
Felixstowe: Context for Hypothesis
In 1953 there was a North sea flood filling 41 people in the storm surge
Felixstowe: Risks associated
-Bad weather may make sheets unreadable
Type up results online
-May be difficult to walk on pathways leading to injury
Take public footpaths
Felixstowe: Why investigate hypothesis
To have better protection for storms in the future and protect the coastline
Felixstowe: Example of primary data collected
Questionnaire
Felixstowe: Evaluate primary data collected
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-Interviewed members of the public to get their opinion on the sea defences. This meant I could get a wider view of more people’s opinions to make my work more accurate.
However, I interviewed at 10 o’clock so I did not get the views of people who worked making my survey less accurate
-Random Sampling to get a view of more of the general population and remove bias
However, there may have been internal bias and picking of whoever was closest.
Felixstowe: Example of secondary data collected
Google Maps to see the past defenses and state of them
Felixstowe: Evaluate secondary data
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-Google Maps to see how Felixstowe’s defenses have changed.
+This was useful because it was a view into the past and see what defenses and the general overview of the area looked like.-However, It was secondary data and some paths weren’t available to view online so not all accurate
Felixstowe: Example of Quantitative data
Environmental Quality Index
Felixstowe: Evaluate Quantitative data
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
-I went to the different sites and ranked them on a scale of how they looked, such as broken windows and boarded-up ones. I also went on Google Maps and completed the same survey for different years
-This was useful because i could see what areas were depleted, what had changed, and what risks could be improved on
Felixstowe: Example of Qualitative date
Questionnaire
Felixstowe: Evaluate Quantitative data
- Data collection and sampling methods why appropriate for inquiry
