Geography coursework: Analysis of Results

Objective 1:

Do the people of Droitwich want the lido removed?

From the results illustrated by the charts, graphs and diagrams shown in the presentation of data, there are many conclusions that can be drawn from the data. Starting with the questionnaire that was aimed at the High-school children, the results were very interesting, although somewhat expected as they are young and are at the stage of life where they take a ‘care-free’ approach to the way they live their lives, trying to make everything as fun as possible, if possible. This is quite apparent with some of the results that were obtained from the surveyed group of people.

The data showed that an ICE RINK, was the most popular choice of replacement for the old lido with nearly 30% of the overall votes. Interestingly a RESTORED lido only managed to gain 14% of the votes, which shows that the young people wanted something a little more appealing to them, a little more fun in their minds because many of them when interviewed answered that there wasn’t enough for young people to do in Droitwich, and so it is understandable that they did not choose to have a new lido or to have it restored. However this was not the case with the older general public in Droitwich as they voted in majority for the lido to be restored or a new one built, with these getting over 76% of the votes, and the ice rink being one of the least voted for options ironically. Similarly the businesses wanted the lido to be either restored or a new one built, with the business questionnaire result showing that over 63% of the votes going towards a new lido or a restored one. This showed that from a business point of view, the lido would be more attractive and a better idea than any other of the options.

Overall these findings were interesting because of the difference between each set of people and how each person has an impact on the future status of Droitwich being a spa town.

Objective 2:

Is a new lido worth having profitably?

This is a very interesting objective because it circulates mostly around the business questionnaire and is aimed at the financial part of the scheme. In this objective, i use the word profitable, not in the sense of sentimentally profitable, like bringing the town together; i mean a more business type approach. How much money is going ...
