Week 3 Brief feedback

During today's class, we had to have a mocked up brief that touched on each of the points given that were needed in the book. We had to have it printed to present into groups to get feedback as to how it was going and the readability and concept of it all. We got some good feedback on ours and everybody said that we had clearly stated idea and it was easy to read. some of the main points was to make it a bit less wordy and to sort out the presentation of the graphs in the book.

Week 2 Parking-stress Research

Image
I conducted some web-based research into existing research on the correlation between parking and stress/anxiety/negative mental health and was surprised to find very little hard data. One very dense study I found took me 10 minutes to figure out that the conductors of the study were using the term 'stress' in parking spheres as a proxy for phrases like 'congestion', 'business', 'use', 'traffic-density' etc, and wasn't actually addressing anything to do with mental health, rather solely efficient city road planning. I did, however, find multiple articles (most of which coming from UK websites) discussing parking anxiety in semi-colloquial ways, some of which loosely referencing a certain set of statistics from the UK's AA polls. Here are some screenshots: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jo-wimblegroves/car-park-anxiety-its-a-re_b_15267800.html?guccounter=1 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/01/motorists-spe...

Week 3 5 Ways to Wellbeing

In terms of connecting the wellbeing points to the presidents we found that they use CONNECTING and TAKING NOTICE as the two main ones. The drive social connects everybody through how they are trying to get everybody to recognize road safety and how their actions affect everybody. They used the campaign to get a group of drivers that drive at a certain time together and to get a photo of them all. There are different types of people from ages to life situations and this gave the people an insight to other on the road. They said that driving needs to focus on people and not solo. This also relates to TAKING NOTICE because from doing this campaign it made everybody look at driving from a different perspective.

Week 3 Delving Deeper into the Data

Image
I put some time aside to have a look through our poll results and create a spreadsheet to which I could cross-examine our results to see if any insights can be drawn out. Some of the things I found were: 35 out of the 40 participants who use their car for 2 trips a day, said that they found parking stressful, just over half of those 40 saying they thought it impacted their daily attitude. 11.1% of participants used their car for 4 or more trips a day, however surprisingly, ALL of them said that they DIDN'T think it had an effect on their daily attitude. I initially found this the opposite of what I expected, thinking that the higher the frequency - the more of the daily time spent thinking about it - the higher the attitudinal effect. Upon thinking about it, it makes sense that these people would park so frequently that they actually become accustomed to having to deal with these aspects of parking, and can't actually let it have any effect on their attitude becaus...
