...5 Practical Methods Direct Observations and Windshield Surveys 50 Practical Methods D irect observations allow one to better understand the environment in which people interact and to see the things some residents may not be aware of, or to better understand a phenomenon. Direct observation may help distill useful information that may not be apparent from your other data collection methods. This type of data collection allows you, the observer, to choose a location, event, or phenomenon and then to directly observe human activities over a period of time. Getting Started Begin by vividly describing the location you are observing. Include details, but try not to get bogged down with clutter. These details may seem superfluous at the time, but future analysis may prove otherwise. You should also describe the people you see and what they are doing. Things to Consider Continually return to the main focus of the observation. Developing an observation form may help. A sample observation form can be found on pages 53–55. The form will help guide your observation and help you focus on specific items. You will need to determine the most appropriate sites and gear the timing of your observation toward the phenomena in question. For example, if you observe a site too early in the morning, you may miss social interactions later in the evening that shed light on your community. You may want to observe different sites at various times to make the best...

...Running Head: Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Leonard Larino University of Phoenix – Professor Bonnie Schoettle April 27, 2015 Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Public health nursing involves a community and the overall health of the community. A community is a group within an area or region. These groups vary through various areas. According to Stanhope & Lancaster, they cited the World Health Organization’s definition of community as a group of people in a defined geographical area that share a common culture, values and norms, and are arranged in a social structure based on the community’s development over time. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 397, 2012). There are three factors in community: people, place and function. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 397, 2012). These three factors are what we as potential community health/public health nurses examine to develop a plan of care for the community. As community health nurses, the community is the client, with the focus being the collective and common good of the population; the individual patients we care for are now expanded into a whole populations benefit. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 398, 2012). Community health is collective needs being met and is done by identifying problems and managing behaviors in the community. (Stanhope & Lancaster, p. 401, 2012). Improving health can be achieved through community partnerships. This can be done by partnering...

...journalist. 2. Why does crowd sourcing require a large, "undefined community" to work? Why not a small, defined community of passionate people who you know and have worked with before or with whom you are already friends (think Face book communities which are smaller, and defined)? Crowd sourcing require a large undefined community because it is said to be more accurate and concise. Large aggregates produce better estimates and judgments than smaller groups. Decisions come from diverse backgrounds. Wisdom of the crowd is another type of crowdsourcing that collects large amounts of information and aggregates it to gain a complete and accurate picture of a topic, based on the idea that a group of people is often more intelligent than an individual. This idea of collective intelligence proves particularly effective on the web because people can contribute in real-time within the same forums from very diverse backgrounds 3. Can you think of other examples of crowd sourcing besides photography? Is photography a good example? What kinds of products or services might not lend themselves to crowd sourcing? Mobs, herds and runaway stock markets produce bad decisions from crowdsourcing. 4. What is the impact of crowd sourcing on business? Can a "crowd sourced" business be profitable? Is iStockphoto.com profitable? 5. Why does the Idea Scale video criticize online surveys? What's wrong with online surveys? How does Idea Scale do any better? 6. Idea Scale claims to produce...

...Proposal Neighborhood Watch Proposal Introduction A Neighborhood Watch Program is a community-implemented program that assists with preventing crime. This program was started in the 1970’s by the National Sheriff’s Association to encourage members of various communities to observe and report on suspicious activities within their neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Watch Program’s purpose is to improve safety within a neighborhood. Providing a study on communities that are utilizing the Neighborhood Watch Programs will give insight into a neighborhood that should be able to come together to fight against crime and attempt to retake their community from criminals. This proposal will promote some level of self-involvement within a community to fight against crime. This proposal will also provide information on how individuals can strategically identify the problems within their community and provide a way to address the issues at hand. Furthermore, this proposal will demonstrate how individuals can fight against the crime in their neighborhood and become more proactive in achieving a better quality of life for themselves and others. The Purpose of the Program The proposal for a neighborhood watch program will elaborate on how a community-based program will educate the community on how to protect themselves and others against crime. The community must be willing to learn to take proactive approaches and act on addressing local concerns by minimizing crime-related...

...Community Assessment and Analysis of Tucson Estates Lizi Thomas, Sophyamma Roy, Lena Fincher, Julie Overland, & Camilla Okolo Grand Canyon University: NRS-427V September 30, 2012 Julie’s Intro The demographic boundaries of Tucson Estates are within the Tucson Mountain Park; mountains comprising of accessible hiking trails, and wildlife in which the retirees leave out food and water surround the community. Small areas of open desert are on either side of the retirement community. Adjacent to the retirement community are newer housing developments with retired residents, but is not a designated retirement community. This is both a geopolitical and phenomenological community. The geopolitical factors in the community are human made legal boundaries and retired people 55 years and older. “Geopolitical communities are formed by either natural or human-made boundaries. Human-made boundaries may be structural, political, or legal” (Smith, 2009, p. 400). This is also a phenomenological community because there are shared values within the group. “A sense of place emerges through the members' awareness of their experiences together. People in a phenomenological community have a group perspective that differentiates them from other groups” (Smith, 2009, p. 400). The people who live in this community share the same generation values, and have activities that caters to their age bracket. Additionally, they are all bound by the common goals of keeping their community safe and clean...

...Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection I have lived in the neighborhood of Fruitridge Manor in Sacramento for the past three years. Being able to enjoy the proximity to downtown and Tahoe Park has been a perk, because the housing in this area is affordable. When I decided to interview one of my neighbors for this project, I came to the realization that I have not taken the time to enjoy what we have around us. By conducting this windshield survey, I was able to understand why most of the neighbors that live in this area have stayed through the years. Some of the areas that would be covered in this document are the family’s community and their environment, as well as the diversity in community. I will also be defining the following terms; community, community health, community as client, and partnerships. Family’s Community and Environment A community can be defined as the interaction of individuals in a social network, usually focused in a defined territory according to our textbook (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2014, p.190). When interviewing the Doe’s family, it was evident the closeness of their community. Mr. Doe was able to point out each neighbor in the street he lives on and how long they have been living in the community. The pride of ownership is apparent by how the streets are free of clutter, trash and the maintenance of a their front yards. Although the neighborhood has changed through the years, the most visible changed one can see is the aging of members...
