As of now, we've had our first reading seminar consisting of
discussions and reflections about data gathering, data analysis and requirements, to sum it up in
single words for the different chapters.
Our group decided to directly jump on to what and where our
focus would be of all the different alternatives for our project task. The
conclusion was choosing the busroute between Jarlaplan-Slussen.
Making use of an indirect observation-method, where each and one of us in the
group travel through that route in different times during the day, as described
in the first form of Triangulation
of data, we can from there still obtain an open starting point. The
starting point allows us to find out where there is an issue, if there’s an
issue and when do the issue(s) occur? Reoccurring problems is easily more
accessible when out in the field as well as finding our population for the data gathering. We can then set the requirements needed in
the commuting system in Stockholm, instead of speculating in what might be needed,
only based on our own experiences.
Throughout our discussion on what might be needed in the subject
of matter came when reflecting on how one as a traveler can often feel
confused, especially when using the bus-transportation. Therefor, by taking advantage
of unstructured interviews
containing only some few open
questions making it a direct observation, it also provides us to explore the issues.
Seeing that this is similar to an evaluation study, this can relate to the section on ”Structuring Framework for
Observation in the field” which can help us to focus on items to look
for.
Since the goal will not really clearly be set, a Grounded Theory can be
applied as the gathered
data will most likely to be in the form of qualitative data allowed to be developed
throughout the process of data
analysis. For our group, of which is doing our first field study, this
will contribute to more easily identifying the patterns based on and supported
by raw gathered data.
