Message to Residents of Charles Glen

I just would like to thanks the community of Charles Glen for their hospitable responses to my survey over the past week and a half. Tonight I got 13 surveys done, doubling the amount done last week and achieving my goal of completing 25 total surveys this week. I have many interesting facts to post and will do so tomorrow morning. I will be back to Charles Glen and do another round of surveys tomorrow evening.

Again, thanks to all who participated tonight!

General Update

Work today is just getting underway. My first task was to take the 13 surveys done thus far and input them into SPSS. I have just finished doing this and have gained unique preliminary perspective into many areas of my survey. I will not be checking often, because this may slant my expectations and translate into human error later into the project.

Interestingly enough the manipulations are generating results. Individuals with an activated regional identity, as opposed to neighborhood identity, are generating stronger correlations to increased connectivity to those in their neighborhood and region. Only more surveys will result in better understanding of this relationship.

I will be attempting to do surveys later in the day (from 5pm-7pm) in order to see if this cuts the amount of unanswered doors *which is a lot* and increases the amount of surveys collected. I'm hoping to get 25 surveys done before going home for the July 4th holiday. Well, time to get moving and hopefully I'll get the update about the Chesapeake Bay Foundation later tonight.
