Human fieldwork Flashcards
Enquiry question:
to investigate the qol in different areas of Ipswich
Hypothesis:
the qol in better in Pinewood than in Stoke
Example of inner city area:
Stoke: high crime and low quality health = high levels of depravation
Example of suburban area:
Pinewood = higher living environment rating + top 10% of least deprived areas
Reasoning for choice of location:
-different types of areas
-close to each other + in same region
Example of quantitative data collection:
EQA
What type of sampling is EQA?
random
How many co-ordinates and how many categories of rating?
3 co-ordinates, 6 categories
list of categories for EQA:
-physical geography
-Housing quality
-noise pollution
-evidence of crime
-transport+ access
what average is taken for EQA and why?
mean as is more representative
Justification EQA:
environment affects qol
limitations EQA
-subjective so less reliable
-random sampling = co-ordinates can be clustered
improvements EQA:
-have a control
-use temporal sampling (different times of day)
Example of two hazards and strategies to minimise?
-hypothermia = wear warm layers
-slipping on ice = wear appropriate footwear + proceed with caution
Example of quantitative data collection:
questionnaire
