Comparison between Candie and Cambridge park (beginning)

Authors Avatar

For my subject, I’ve chosen to make a general comparison between the ‘Candie Gardens’ and ‘Cambridge Park’. This will include,

  • The facilities that people use
  • The type of people that make use of these facilities (age etc)
  • The amounts of people that make use of these facilities
  • The transport links to and surrounding the areas
  • The traffic to and surrounding the areas
  • The amounts of parking spaces in or around the areas
  • What other communities may use the areas’ e.g. schools

According to these comparison subjects, I have written a series of hypotheses,

  • The activities of both areas will be different
  • The landscape/plants will be different
  • People using Candie Gardens will be older
  • Candie Gardens will have more tourists
  • Cambridge Park will be more popular
  • Both areas will be used by schools
  • There will be more public transport around Cambridge park
  • There will be more traffic around Cambridge park
  • There will be more parking at Cambridge park
  • There will be more services around Cambridge park
  • There will be more residencies around Cambridge park

Safety: To ensure maximum safety, all observations will be made in the day and when approaching people to do a questionnaire for example, ‘Stranger Danger’ will be taken into account and also only done when other people are around. The park and Candie Gardens are both in relatively open spaces, around main roads and popular areas so they are relatively safe places.

If I come across a road that I may have to cross, the ‘Stop, Look and Listen’ rule will also be applied, as well as only crossing at safe places, zebra crossings or traffic lights when possible or just the most sensible place to cross, i.e. not on a corner.

To carry out any traffic surveys I’ll most likely also have someone with me, mainly to ensure accurate results.

The two sites are also within walking distance from my house so safe to get to and also back from.

Data collection: Mainly my own observations but also my questionnaire ...
