CHOOSE INDICATORS TO MEASURE

  • You should all download and save this Excel file with our Portland 5 x 5 block test area points and all the indicators for the Social Interaction Cohesion Tool. **You MUST save it as a different name, with your LAST NAME at the end of the file name. Once saved, delete unused columns. Portland_2015_MASTER_COMPUTED_AND_ORIGINAL_DOWNSAVED_LAST NAME
  • You should all pick 1 existing indicator from the list provided here and 1 new indicator of your own interest:
    • 2015-Winter-ARCH523-Speranza/04_CSV ELK_Social Tool/03_ARCH523_2015_DATA/02_DATA_DICTIONARIES/Portland.  More info for each project here: https://lcabcn2014uo.wordpress.com/
  • See the Data Dictionaries here to understand the rating system of the existing indicator. You must use these rating systems:   
    • 2015-Winter-ARCH523-Speranza/04_CSV ELK_Social Tool/03_ARCH523_2015_DATA/02_DATA_DICTIONARIES/Barcelona

PREPARE DATA RECORDING

You should prepare and TEST recording your data for the points. I will clarify where we wills start at the corner of Burnside and the North Park Blocks, our block A1.

You can record in the following ways:

  • print out the Excel table for 1 new and 1 existing indicators (careful of rain) and be prepared to write it down on a pad as we walk. you will have to input these to the Excel file later.
  • copy your data to Google Docs. I strongly recommend setting the file to ‘work offline.’
  • use a tablet to have the Excel open to record data as we walk
  • use a smart phone (screen is small)
I suggest everyone bring a simple chart to record data for the 200 +/- points as a backup in case of digital problems.
*Bring a medium sized notebook as we will do a fun urban analysis diagramming exercise near White Stag to start.
Be safe. Call if you need anything.
