Survey Method and Sampling Method for Gauging Citizen Response to Proposed Bus
Rapid Transit Depot in Pretoria
To gauge the response of citizens in Pretoria to the proposed building of a bus rapid
transit depot in their neighborhood, a combination of survey and sampling methods
can be used. This approach allows for collecting data from a representative sample of
the population and obtaining detailed insights into their opinions and preferences.
Survey Methods
Questionnaires: This method involves designing a set of structured questions that
can be administered in person, via mail, or online. Questionnaires allow for
standardized data collection and can be easily distributed to a large number of
respondents. They can include closed-ended questions with predefined response
options, as well as open-ended questions for more detailed feedback.
Interviews: Conducting face-to-face or telephone interviews provides an opportunity
to gather more in-depth information. Interviews can be structured (using a
predetermined set of questions) or unstructured (allowing for a more conversational
approach). This method allows for probing and clarification of responses, ensuring a
comprehensive understanding of citizens' perspectives.
Focus Groups: This method involves bringing together a small group of citizens to
discuss the proposed bus rapid transit depot. Focus groups encourage interaction and
allow for the exploration of different viewpoints. A skilled moderator guides the
discussion, ensuring that all participants have an opportunity to express their opinions.
