All in all, urban development survey takers were grateful for the complimentary gifts, and some even expressed interest in participating in future studies. “This was fairly short and fun,” said Acklin Serna, a local artist, “and $50 cash is a nice gift. I also added my name to the urban development study’s contact list for future surveys, interviews, and any public discussions. It’s a very interesting and important topic!” “I’m very excited about tallying the data from this important urban development survey,” stated Dr. Willibrand Shanaa, survey creator and main planner, “This is the first time we’ve asked for public participation in our scientific research, and we’re absolutely flattered and grateful by the turn out. I expect preliminary results will be tabulated by next month, at which point we’ll release general findings about important urban development trends in this society to the local media.” Students from the University of Sean Kaune, in partnership with employees of the Laurene Rothove and Chong Bonatti Statistics INC, helped hand out the five page survey to members of the public, and also held brief Q & A sessions at the beginning and end of the urban development survey for those who had any concerns about its subject matter. Said Letterman Yeater, a graduate student, “I was impressed with the public’s awareness of urban development trends in their daily lives. I’ve been studying them for months now, and some surveyees raised questions that I couldn’t readily answer. In those cases, I referred them to write their comments down and submit them to our directors for further review.” Some members of the public were a little concerned about the second part of the urban development survey, in particular a question which asked for very personal data. Said Tamer March, a local restaraunteer and member of the board of commerce, “I chose not to answer that question because it had nothing to do with the study of urban development and everything to do with my personal finances. As a result, I did not qualify for a compensatory gift, but that is fine - privacy is important, even if we’re collecting data for academic purposes.” To accomodate today’s busy public, two distinct urban development survey sessions were planned, one evening and one morning session. In addition, because of concerns raised by many in the general public about scheduling, an impromptu session was arranged for Sunday afternoon following local church services and youth athletic activities. Everyone was definitely interested in throwing in their 2 cents about urban development ideas, but not at the expense of important weekend family time. Many members of the general public were happy to be taking part in the urban development poll, which offered three forms of compensation for their participation. Gift coordinator Skill Hirz elaborated, “For those surveyees that took part in all three of the urban development survey sections, we offered three different forms of compensation - a cash gift of $50, gift certificate to a local restaurant, or a gift card for the upcoming holiday season at the local mall.” Without a doubt, as society becomes more technologically viable, knowing how urban development impacts local and national trends is extremely important. Polls have been conducted nation wide and around the world, with some very interesting results. “Overall,” said Leann Geppert, a visiting Professor from Marlo Cabon College, “we’ve seen some very interesting commonalities across cultures, ethnicities, and various different societies. Urban development survey takers were very considerate in their answers, and this helped us greatly to further tune our hypotheses. In the end, we’ll have a great set of data to analyze and study for the future, as we continue to review how urban development factors work in society.” COO of Simona Godar INC, Stirling Bivin, also decided to take part in the urban development study, but as an analyzer of final data: “Usually I just sign off on results and make sure they are published in a timely matter…but this time, I really wanted to get hands on with this urban development subject matter, so I decided to aide my fellow employees with statistical measurements and data analysis. Personally, I’m very curious about local urban development ideas and trends.”
