Week 9: Finding Opportunities
27th of October, 2021
What did you learn and find out this week?
After creating the presentation for ‘Check-in 2’, I was supposed to present my progress to my class last week. Due to some issues, I will be presenting it this Wednesday and receiving some feedback on my progress.
As I had to organize the research that I gathered for ‘Check-in 2’, I have gone further analyzing the data from the interview participants this week. I have used Mural to organize and put all my data in one place.
As I had to organize the research that I gathered for ‘Check-in 2’, I have gone further analyzing the data from the interview participants this week. I have used Mural to organize and put all my data in one place.
Within these data, I have reorganized them to arrange some of the important quotes into a few sections. I have categorized them into emotions, what they check in the streets, what makes them feel safe, and the things they consider important.
Although I have chosen the interviewees based on their ratings based on the survey with people who have rated safe and confident high and low, all of the participants had at least one negative experience to share whether it happened to them directly or witnessed them. Participants used words such as “scared”, “uncomfortable” and “lost” to describe their emotions on their experiences. This research also validates my hypothesis that ‘PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE TO WALK ALONE’, whether they feel confident walking alone in the streets or not.
Based on their feedback, I have brainstormed some opportunities that I could focus on at the bottom of the page. Some interesting points that I found were that when the interviewees were describing what they seek from the streets, many of the participants were using human senses such as sight, smell and hearing to decide whether the streets are safe or not. I thought this could be one of the opportunities that I could focus on when defining the safety of the streets.
