Stage 3 - Processing and Presenting Data

Data - Commercial Land use and public on the ground floor

Technique: Scatter graph

---

Why is it Appropriate?

The use of commercial land and public space on the ground floor can be analyzed using continuous data. This allows us to observe changes over time or distance and identify trends. A scattergraph can be used to visualize the relationship between variables, while a line of best fit can indicate any patterns in the data.

Data - Type of housing

Technique: Compound bar chart

---

Why is it Appropriate?

Compound bar charts are a type of visual representation that show the proportion of different elements within a total quantity. They can display numerical values or percentages, allowing for easy comparison of the composition of housing.

Data - Number of pedestrians

Technique: Bar chart

---

Why is it Appropriate?

Bar charts are an effective way to visually represent data. In a bar chart, data is displayed in columns or bars, with the height of each bar representing a component. The vertical axis is used to measure the data using a scale, making it suitable for comparing quantities.

Cartographic Methods

Technique: Choropleth Map

---

Why is it Appropriate?

A shaded map is a cartographic method that uses color gradation to represent the relative density of an area. The darkest color indicates the highest values, while lighter colors represent lower values. This method allows for easy interpretation and identification of areas with the greatest density of pedestrians.

Location of land use zones (Overall aim)

Technique: Map of land use zone

---

Why is it Appropriate?

The overall aim is to locate each land use zone based on their characteristics using a sketch map of the transect and data from each area. This will provide a visual representation of the zone's distance and length, helping us achieve our aim
