Urban vitality: the value and provenance of new forms of data

POLS0012让我对R和统计分析有了基本的了解，这对博士项目是必要的。在BASC0005中，我探索了Python和可视化表示数据的各种方法。了解多种编程语言可以增加多样性，对项目有帮助，数据可视化将是本研究中表示空间数据的关键方面。最后，通过BASC0023，我的任务是使用数据得出市场策略的结论。由于这个项目的重点是城市活力和零售，这将有助于我用一种消费者行为的方法来评估结果。本博士将利用ESRC消费者数据研究中心的一些关键数据。项目合作伙伴Huq Industries提供的数据将通过CDRC数据服务提供，补充信息将提供与高街占用率和客流量有关的数据，这也是CDRC的指标。

POLS0012 has given me a baseline understanding of R and statistical analysis which will be necessary forthe PhD project.With BASC0005, I have explored Python, and various methods of representing data visually. Knowingmultiple programming languages can add diversity and be helpful for the project, and data visualisationwill be a key aspect of representing the data in space for this research.Finally, with BASC0023, I was tasked of using data to draw conclusions on market strategies. As thisproject is focused on urban vitality and retail, this will help me assess results with an approach toconsumer behaviour in mind.This PhD will make use of a number of key data holdings from the ESRC Consumer Data Research Centre.The data supplied from the project partner - Huq Industries - will supply their data via the CDRC dataservice and supplementary information will be supplied pertaining to high street occupancy and footfall,which are also CDRC indicators.
