5 / Research Plan

Some names for the proposed project include: WanderWorld, Another Place, LingoWorld..
I’m leaning towards Another Place for now. But I’ll still KIV this first.

The following is my RESEARCH PLAN.

A quantitative survey was done with 35 Singaporeans aged 18 to 35 that enjoy traveling. This quantitative data can generate insights into what we know from the audience’s traveling experience, which can then be further delved into and explored in the qualitative interviews later on.

Top 3 challenges faced: language barrier, getting lost (difficult transport), cultural difference

The three challenges highlighted above are crucial to filtering which problems to focus on during the qualitative interview.

33/35 participants prefer free and easy traveling

26/35 participants do not learn a new language before traveling

34/35 participants think that learning a foreign language helps when traveling

16/35 participants have experienced a culture shock overseas

Some of the responses to how culture shock can be avoided in excel format (highlighted)

18/35 participants feel stressed when dealing with foreign currencies

Below is additional research done to complete the above research plan [Additional Online Research].
