Q

What type of sampling is a questionnaire?

A

-subjective
-some members of the public refuse to talk
-only at one time of day

19
Q

improvements questionnaire:

A

temporal sampling

20
Q

What are the three methods of data representation?

A

-radar graphs
-pie charts
-GIS located proportional symbols

21
Q

+ive radar graphs:

A

overall representative and visual as a higher area means a higher EQA

22
Q

-ive EQA:

A

its hard to read

23
Q

what do pie charts represent?

A

the proportion of people that gave each response

24
Q

+ive and -ive pie charts:

A

+ive: represntative + visual + can compare individual categories
-ive: cannot determine percentages with ease

25
Q

overall trends:

A

-Pinewood has a higher EQA
-Stoke had a higher proportion of people that disliked or severely disliked living there

26
Q

Example EQA data:

A

housing quality:
pinewood = 4.33
stoke = 2.28

27
Q

14% really disliked Stoke while 0% really disliked Pinewood

28
Q

Conclusion:

A

Stoke has a lower qol as it has a worse environment and worse satisfaction

29
Q

Is it a strong conclusion?
