Summary
The Data Domotopia survey explores how home-making reveals resilience strategies for modern life. This study analyzes dwelling, dwellers, and neighborhood factors to understand coping mechanisms in a fast-paced world.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Urban Studies
- Human Geography
Background:
- Modern life presents challenges like accelerated and liquid modernity.
- Home serves as a central point for activity-travel patterns and daily life.
- Home-making practices can indicate coping strategies and resilience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and describe the Data Domotopia survey.
- To define the concept of Domotopia for understanding home experiences.
- To present a comprehensive dataset for studying home-making and resilience.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative data.
- Development of a web-based survey (Data Domotopia) with over 2300 respondents.
- Questionnaire organized into three layers: dwelling, dwellers, and neighborhood, with functional, social, emotional, and sensory components.
Main Results:
- The survey covers contemporary issues in home-making, including domestic space, gender, socio-spatial resources, lifestyles, time pressures, and interpersonal relations.
- Examples illustrate the data's potential for studying domocentric stillness and resilience.
- The aggregated data is available for research purposes.
Conclusions:
- Home-making is a key area for understanding individual and societal resilience.
- The Data Domotopia provides a rich resource for exploring how people create stable environments amidst societal changes.
- Further research can utilize this data to analyze urban pathologies and coping mechanisms.

Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

01:07Data Collection by Survey
6.5K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

01:17Systematic Sampling Method
10.4K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

The science of statistics involves collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. The method of collecting, organizing, and summarizing data is called descriptive statistics. The systematic method of drawing inferences from the sample data and predicting unknown characteristics of a population is called inferential statistics.
In statistics, the collection of individuals or objects under study is called population. The idea of sampling is to select a portion of the larger population...

01:27Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...
