Q

Method of traffic count

A

Choose a safe recording position
Record the amount of traffic travelling down the street for 10 minutes
Record on tally chart
Show on a flow line diagram

21
Q

What is qualitative data?

A

Data that is more opinion-based but is still useful

22
Q

What is quantitative data?

A

Data that usually consists of factual information

23
Q

What is reliability?

A

Ensuring data is collected consistently

24
Q

What is accuracy?

A

Ensuring a technique is carried out correctly

25
Q

What does subjective mean?

A

An opinion based on personal feelings

26
Q

What does objective mean?

A

An opinion based on fact

27

31
Q

Explain how we have presented questionnaire data in compound bar graphs

A

We calculated the percentage of people who responded in a certain way and drew it as a proportion of a bar

32
Q

Advantages of compound bar graphs 2

A

Patterns clearly visually identifiable - can see popular responses
Can see the highest and lowest values by proportion of bar taken up

33
Q

Disadvantages of compound bar graph 2

A

Too many divisions can be confusing

Limited use - only for percentage data

34
Q

Scores for our areas in proportional symbol maps

A

Museum Street and Gaol Ferry Steps = 8

Cumberland Road = 7

35
Q

Explain how we presented our data as proportional symbol maps

A

Collected data from environmental quality surveys
Worked out an overall score for each area
Cut out a shape which is proportional to that score

36
Q

Advantages of proportional symbol maps

A

Easier than showing all categories of quality survey

37
Q

Disadvantages of proportional symbol maps 4

A

Confusing to outsiders
No specific data
Obstructs base map
Similar results as were in same place

38
Q

Sustainable and non sustainable transport at Cumberland Road

A

25 sustainable

97 non

39
Q

Sustainable and non sustainable transport at Wapping Road

A

21 sustainable

34 non

40
Q

Sustainable and non-sustainable transport at Museum Street

A

6 sustainable

6 non

41
Q

Explain how we presented our traffic count data s flow line diagrams

A

We drew two arrows (for sustainable and non sustainable) for each road we counted at
We used a scale so the length of our arrows were proportional to our results

42
Q

Advantages of flow line diagrams 4

A

Effective at showing trends
Ease of comparison
Easy to plot parallel to road
Anomalies are clearly shown by smaller/missing arrow

43
Q

Disadvantages of flow line diagrams 1

A

May cover up important info on base map

44
Q

Anomalies in data

A

50% of questionnaire people said they walked to Wapping Wharf
Only 28% sustainable vehicles found on traffic count

45
Q

Reason for anomalies

A

We conduted our traffic count at midday where most walkers would already be at work

46
Q

Problems with collecting data 3

A

Confusing traffic count - vehicle and number
Too close to other groups
No younger people for questionnaire - at work

47
Q

Limitation of results

A

We only conducted our investigation once at midday so many of the important younger generation would have been at work

48
Q

Other useful data

A

Information on businesses for sustainability

49
Q

How would we improve it?

A

Collect at multiple times of day over a larger area to get opinions of working age
Larger area to see more variation
