WHY AND HOW

Coding comments to distill information

slide-11
SLIDE 11

11

Distill a large quantity of comments (~1300) Extract recommendations from the community's own words Sort into key categories

‒ Identify gaps ‒ Identify Meta-Themes

Create a framework to be able to hold against the program model and design

Why code?

How we coded

Identified Activities/Uses that the comments mentioned Read each individual comment and coded for its themes (if appropriate) and the uses/activities it mentioned Called out New Ideas that comments contain

CREATE A FRAMEWORK CODE

Identified Themes in which comments could be coded under Manually entered new ideas

REPEAT

Created new categories of activities and uses based upon highly mentioned ‘new ideas’ Re-Coded + Reviewed

How did we define these terms? Natural- coded if it contained references to “natural spaces”, “restoration of environments/habitats”, “prairie, pollinators, nature”. Did not include: "open green space”

  • r mentions of “general park spaces”

Built- coded if it included comments about more "designed" spaces or comments that specifically mentioned buildings or more substantial infrastructure. Did not include: more general references for activates and uses that would require a more designed space

THEME

ACTIVE / PASSIVE

RESULTS:

18 38 Active Passive

People need to move, sports, anything where you can move your body + Active I've always found it calming and meditative to walk along it

  • r near it. I used to love seeing the herons that would roost in

the trees on an small island near the park north of this

  • location. + Passive

Personally, I'm not looking forward to a flashy, high use area along the river. I would hope that the area would remain park like, and not built up with homes, large restaurants or other commercial venues. + Passive

Instructions

20 Minutes

  • Brainstorm, discuss and record the questions,

details and clarifications that you have

  • Finalize and prioritize these questions, record

them on post-it notes and place on board

slide-36
SLIDE 36

36

Examples: Questions and Details

What are the ways people want to ‘picnic’? Individual vs. group? Purchase food, cook food or bring food in? Is it safe to eat fish out of the Mississippi River? What do people mean when they say ‘natural’? Is this an open green space, a soccer field or a prairie? Should soccer, basketball and other sports be programmed or should there just be space to allow people to play? Since there were so few comments about seniors we should engage with seniors more to figure out how they would like to interact with the site. It seems like there is a desired for a mixture between a designed/natural waterfront? How should these spaces be divided? Should they be mixed or completely separate?

What is missing? What needs further exploration or detail? What needs more information?
