Why this Research Tool?

When consulting the public for Primary Research, my group unanimously agreed that Quantitative Research would be the most effective type of Primary Research to do on the day.

We decided this because:

1) To make data from Quantitative Research is easily done

2) The public finds Quantitative data a lot less irritating than other forms of data because most of the time there's a multiple choice answer of some sort - therefore, more responses can be obtained

3) It is a lot quicker to consult the public with a Quantitative Research Tool because it is possible to quickly write down the answers, and no detailed answers are required to be recorded

 

Our Questions;

My group all separately came up with five of our own questions, meaning that all together we had twenty questions (the ones in bold being the ones that I asked);

• Would you like a corner store in this area?

• On a scale of 1 to 5, how necessary is it to have a lot of public parks/areas or foliage in the area?

• Do you believe that Rozelle would be a prime residential location?

• Would you like a house that is in the vicinity of a recreational area ie. park ?

• Out of the four, which do you take the most (Car, Train, Ferry, Bus)
