Last Thursday we started the day wonderfully by stepping outside in the freezing cold as 8 in the morning. This was after we had re-arranged collecting the beautiful clothing.
We split into 2 groups; with one heading out to stand and count the cars as they entered the University, as well as the amount of people within the car. While we continued into the University to find people who had already arrived (and stay warm) to ask them a questionnaire on their modes of transport to the University as well as their attitudes towards the impact of commuting.
We collected most of out of our results from asking people within the canteen or waiting eagerly for the library to open. From the people we asked all did not live within halls, and mainly travelling in long distance. Those that took the car and did not share was not particularly intrested in the enviromental impact.
This survey despite the early morning was intresting to carry out and has provided useful information. However if i repeated doing this research i would change it that so that there was a greater over view of diversity of people in that; ensuring there was a consistant number of people living on and off campus as well as a more even spread of people across the subjects as to their opinion of sustainable transport. As when asking the questionnaire it reflected that those who cared about the impact of their travel upon the environment was taking to applied sciences however when looking at the statiscs it is even to those studying business.
There was few people asked for the arts as that school of education is mainly held as Avenue campus. Therefore to get a spread of data questinnaires could have been also taken at Avenue campus. Another point of thought is asking a spread of those in halls would be to knock on flats and ask pople who are currently within there halls the questionnaire.

If you repeated the survey, what would you change? How could you try to ensure that you spoke to sufficient numbers of people living in halls? Are there any additional questions you would ask?
