Interview and "Quizzes"

First of all, I need to announce that my project moves toward practical components, meaning to have actual contact with the community. I have been researching and preparing on my own.

For the week, I have been concluding methods of examining the progress I have made in the neighborhood effectively.

The conclusion is to do two different things:

1. Interview

For the interview, I will target the local cleaners (Ayi). Since it is a pretty neighborhood, I will interview two cleaners per week. (Where to find and who to find for each week can be found on the schedule they put on the wall)

Beginning the third week, I start to sell the garbage bag. I will do this interaction with cleaners weekly to attain personal, first-hand information about the neighborhood's garbage categorization. It is a bit gross, but I will be willing to go with them to the disposition point and check the progress of effective recycling by taking photographs. It will end on March 12th, as the benchmark on the website has shown.

2. "Quiz."

It will be more or less a question and answer interaction about to end in only 15 minutes. I will hand out questions for residents to fill. I am aware that not everyone in the neighborhood is willing to fill in the question, so I expect to ask committees to help me handle them. I expect to see at least 150 responses in the whole neighborhood in a neighborhood of around 1200 families. The person who responds to such a "quiz" can be either the child or the adult. It depends on the decision of the family. (I guess the parents will decide to leave this chance to their children because it is an excellent opportunity for them to check how well their kid(s) are doing)

By using both methods, quantitative as the "quiz" and qualitative as the interview, I will check the extent of improvement I make in the community.
