1. One person should draw a map of the situation and note the placement of objects and spaces, as well as people and their movements.

2. One person should record all the things they expect to feel, hear, and smell, as well as any other environmental factors.

--> cars driving by 

--> chatter amongst the group of people 

--> sound of the pedestrian sign beeping 

--> footsteps of people walking across the crossing 

--> warm weather as suggested by type of clothing worn 

--> smell of petrol/fumes

--> advertisements playing on the buildings around 

--> wind blowing trees

--> heat from underground train station 

--> sound of scooter as seen in vid 

--> cold air from aircon for those close to buildings at the back 

→ sounds from the advertisement

→ cars passing by

→ hot weather

→ people talking through their phone or with their friends

→ the wind 

→ smell from the vehicle exhaust and smell of petrol

→ sounds from the pedestrian’s sign

→ sounds of  people's footsteps from walking and running

→ smell from the restaurant or coffee shop

3. One person should record all the data available about human interactions including demographics, activities, things or systems interacted with.

--> surveillance system

--> human and space relation 

--> human interaction with other human

--> human interaction with technology 

--> human interaction with time [as they have to hustle because of the limited time]

--> human’s same behaviour when they see 1 object at the same time which the traffic    light 

--> human interaction with the architecture of the city

B. 

 --> They  have the same behaviour in particular moment when they look at one object which is the traffic light.

--> There are some repetition in human behaviour every 3.3 minutes when they go across the street 

--> While waiting they typically do the same thing such as looking at their phones and talking to each other 

*Times – How often, and for how long did people do things?

--> People would usually talk for the whole time they are crossing the crosswalk.

There are also people who look straight up and just walk the whole time till they reach the end of the road. 

--> Some people are seen on their phone whether it be looking down or on call, but they usually stop mid way of the cross walk or the beginning. Although I've seen some that do not stop at all and use their phone the whole way. 

*Numbers – How many objects? How many people? What demographics? How many bags did they have? How many footpaths? How many rubbish bins?

--> Everyone carries a bag. About 70% of the people on the cross walk either had a backpack, a tote bag, purse, or side bag.

--> Since this is in Japan you do not really see trash cans around as it is part of their culture to not litter and they tend to keep their trash in their own bags till they reach home to throw it away.

--> There were about 2-3 people who were seen using the bicycle within the crosswalk 

--> Lots of people were wearing long sleeves about 90%

--> About 1-20% were seen wearing business attire, like suits. 

*Phenomena – Did anything unusual happen?

--> 2.500 people go across the street at the same time from different directions every 3.3 minutes. This is a phenomenon that usually doesn't happen in other countries.  

--> People standing in a public area closely in a crowded area with around 2 thousands people around them and it happens every day is something unusual. 

*Problems- Did you notice any issues with the use of the area?

--> there should be more clear off sections to allow the bikes to pass in one certain area rather than them going into a crowded area and having to maneuver through people

--> There should also be a bigger waiting area before the crosswalk since it looked very packed.

 --> Split it into different sections to allow less traffic of people within the whole area.

1. Observe people, objects, and space in the cooking/eating/kitchen/dining area of your home.

2. One person should record all the data available about human interactions including demographics, activities, things or systems interacted with. (If you are home alone, record your own process using the space or what you recall from a busier time)

--> interaction with fridge on multiple occasions 

--> heating up the pan 

--> interaction with food ingredients 

--> interaction with measuring tools 

--> interaction with timer 

--> interaction with tools such as knives

--> interaction with the tap 

--> washing hands 

--> cleaning dishes 

--> demographic of the kitchen could be anyone other then young children mainly being -----> the mother and father 

--> interaction between people and technology 

--> interaction between thing and system such as the lamp and the kitchen spaces the lamp will brighten the spaces

--> interaction between the systems such as system that manage air flow and technology in the kitchen; there should be more ventilation and the door should be wider so that when the people use the stove to cook the air quality become better

3. One person should record all the things they expect to feel, hear, and smell, as well as any other environmental factors.

--> hot atmosphere from the stove when we are cooking

--> Smell from the cooked food

--> smell from the burnt food

--> the water running from the faucet

--> sound from the plate, glass, fork, spoon and other kitchen equipment brushing to each other while being washed.

--> sound from the fire light up from the stove

--> cold atmosphere when we open the fridge

--> sound of the microwave when it finished heating the food

--> sound of people talking with their family 

--> sound of people eating

--> sound from plates, spoon and fork clinking

*Patterns - What happened more than once? What did people typically do? What were the patterns of behaviour you saw?

--> There are some repetition during lunch and dinner, the action of bringing the food from the kitchen and the dining table is repetitive 

--> The human’s behaviour inside the house typically the same when they open the fridge

 

*Times – How often, and for how long did people do things?

 --> People often go to the kitchen or dining area during breakfast, lunch and dinner time but usually people go to the kitchen erratically. Most people spend an average of 30 minutes cooking and preparing food, but sometimes people also spend an average 10 minutes brewing coffee and tea.

--> People come to the dining area usually for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So on average 3 times a day people come to the dining area, they spend  40 minutes to 1 hour on average for them to finish their dish. 

*Numbers – How many objects? How many people? What demographics? How many bags did they have? How many footpaths? How many rubbish bins? 

--> There are multiple objects in use in the kitchen, often more than six at a time. There are a total of three footpaths however only two of them are mainly used often. Only one rubbish bin.

*Phenomena – Did anything unusual happen?

--> Sometimes when a person uses the kitchen they walk in to check what they want to eat only to realise their fridge is empty.

--> People opening the fridge multiple times in a day but they don’t have the intentional meaning [they just open the fridge, looking inside, then close the fridge]

kitchen is the only space in the house where we only do one specific action which is cooking 

*Problems- Did you notice any issues with the use of the area?

--> The action of pulling the chair happened more than once. There is a friction between the floor and the chair when the action is happened in which makes some noise and it is annoying sometimes [It might need a change so that the noise can be more subtle]

--> Interaction between the spaces as the kitchen mostly decorated using brown color so it’s a bit dark might need a change, and the spaces is a bit small so the activity can’t be done as free as they want; it needs to be larger
