Midterm Project Proposal

Group Members: Lindsey, Alice & Carlos

For our project, we are interested in documenting human and physical activity in Glen Canyon Park. We are interested in comparing human activity occurring next to the creek with traffic patterns and BART activity surrounding the canyon. During the process we will be talking to the creek visitors in order to get a sense of how the area is being used now, and what people think of the creek in general. Overall we would like to gather data on how people are interacting with the land physically and socially through personal testimony, sound, pictures, and video. Eventually an interactive, digital map will be created demonstrating the levels of activity in the area, and will most likely include accompanying sound and video. Over the next two weeks, we will be hiking along the same trail at the same time each day collecting data, and will choose an appropriate spot where we can set up a video camera in order to record human activity on the trails below and the traffic above.
