Today during the wonders that is friday morning’s double geography lesson I learnt that the differences in windows (whether double glazed or not) cannot be easily perceived from google street view.
HOWEVER the general condition and fitting of the window can be.
When talking about how fieldwork could possibly be carried out for belfast there are a few key facts to remember:
NEVER EVER could we visit there. (one theory to why, is simply that our geography teachers are just not dedicated enough to getting us the grades!)
the main limitations are that it would be impossible to question anyone without offending them on such delicate topics.
if carrying out research that involved going to many different sites it would be extremely difficult to find the time to do it before our exams.
here’s a few things to thing about what you could use instead on different categories:
social:
the use of other peoples data on this is key.
indepth data such as that found on the duncairn database also data found on websites such as NISRA have many key statistics.

google street maps and google earth. free and easy to navigate without having to even step out of a classroom (unless your 5minutes a day google map quota expires)
talk about EQA- an environmental quality assessment
if using a likert scale you need to remember that a detailed description of each factor,yes even the windows, would need to be explained to anyone else either interpreting your data or helping with data collection.
