We are going to meet the people who will make use of our project in the future. The meeting will be in an office close to the street that we will work on.
All the parties that are participating in the project are present: the local government, people in charge of managing the public light and most important, the people who live in the Agavestraat.
The people that we met were valuable sources of information for our research. It was useful to get the meeting on camera, so we can always look back on it and use the material in our future work. We also took notes on paper and made an audiorecording.
After explaining what the Light Challenge exactly is, the residents of the Agavestraat gave their opinion about the lighting in the street. We asked questions about their ideas for improvement, but also about their experience with light. Are there any kinds of problems with the light? What about safety?
Now let’s visit The Agavestraat. Looking around and paying attention to the details is essential in the research progress. A visit at night is really useful, because you can clearly see the effects of the street lights that are on.
