Summary and Analysis for Project #6


For my questionnaire, I created questions that were related to the parking at the University of South Alabama. I have heard many complaints about the parking since I started attending this school, and I was interested to see how some people might react when they were presented with questions about the parking situation at our school.

The first question that I asked was simply to see if the person filling out the survey was currently a student at the University of South Alabama. Seventeen people answered my survey, and all of those people said that they are currently students at USA. My next question was asked to see what time of day these people were at the university the most. The most popular answer to this question was that they were at the school mostly in the morning time. Some people also reported being at school in the afternoon and evening times, but none said that they were here most commonly at night.

My third question on the survey was to see how common it was for these students to have troubles finding a place to park. The responses to this question varied fairly widely, ranging from very common to not common at all. After this, I asked how many times these people had received citations from University of South Alabama because of parking infractions. Eight people answered that they had never received this type of citation, two people said that they had gotten them once, four people said that they had received them twice, and three people reported that they had gotten tickets for parking incorrectly more than twice. When asked if their citations had been paid or not, nine people answered yes and five people answered no.

Six of the seventeen respondents to my survey claim that their vehicle has received damage while in one of the parking lots at the University of South Alabama, while eleven said that they have not been damaged. Twelve of the seventeen people who responded to this questionnaire said that they have known of parking problems at USA for more than a year, and eight of these people say that they have never heard of plans to improve the parking situations.

In conclusion, the responses that I received from the people who answered my questionnaire were fairly varied. Because of all of the complaints that I have personally heard being made about the parking here at South, I expected the responses to be a little bit heavier on one side of the scale. Doing this survey helped me to see that not everyone is having a terrible time with the parking situations at the University of South Alabama. I am glad that I conducted this survey so that now I know how some of my fellow classmates feel about this particular subject.
