3.1 Data Collection
Using the CAWI and PAPI methods
A questionnaire entitled Exploration of Usability and Spatial
Effectiveness of Building Amenities of Apartment Buildings
was publicly available on the Netquest Portal to create a wide
range of respondents from May – October 2018 (Portal for
creating and publishing surveys in the form of questionnaires).
The number of completed questionnaires is 150 - it can be said
that this number is more than sufficient for the relevance of
quantitative research. (Punch, 2015)
4 Result of Questionnaire Survey
1_Age structure of respondents:
Graph 1: Age structure of respondents. Author’s design.
This question could be viewed as the age structure of the
respondents, which, of course, is important from a demographic
point of view in any questionnaire survey. It is clear from the
Graph that most of the respondents who submitted the
questionnaire fall into the age group of 30-44 years old,
regardless of gender. Another notable group is the 45-60 years
old group and also 20-29 years old, all age groups of respondents
of working age. These results could further be used for other
demographic calculation methods for the population structure
that are not currently the subject of this research design.
2_Permanent Residence of Respondents:
Graph 2: Permanent residence of respondents. Author’s design.
It is evident from the graph that the largest number of
respondents is permanently resident in the Moravian-Silesian
region. Other regions with notable values include the City of
Prague, the South Bohemian Region, the Liberec Region, the
South Moravian Region and potentially also the Olomouc
Region. For the other regions, the numbers of the questionnaires
returned are too small and, therefore, within the region, the
responses to the survey would not have a meaningful value, but
of course they are of value in the nationwide evaluation.
