Chapter 14: Analysing Secondary Data
Contents • This chapter comprises 6 case studies dealing with: • 11.6A. Children’s play safety • 14.1. International data on leisure/tourism inequality • 14.2. Estimating demand for a leisure facility • 14.3. Tourism trend analysis • 14.4. Facility utilisation • 14.5. Facility catchment or market area
Case study 11.6A Children’s play safety • Secondary data: reports of accidents in school playgrounds in Toronto (collected routinely for insurance purposes) • 86 playgrounds deemed unsafe and provided with new equipment = treatment group • 225 playgrounds deemed safe: no action taken = control group • Injuries per 1000 students for 10 months before and after the replacement of equipment • Treatment group: Injury rates declined • Control group: Injury rates actually increased
Case Study 14.1 International data on leisure/tourism inequality • The Spirit Level Wilkinson & Pickett (2009): • Secondary data from UN, etc. • Countries with more equal income distribution perform better on a wide range of human welfare measures • Leisure not covered • Leisure/tourism data explored here • More details in Veal (2010): available at www.leisuresource.net under ‘Other papers’
Case Study 14.2 Estimating demand for a leisure facility D. Typical facility capacity H. No. of new facilities to cater for unmet demand E. Capacity of existing facilities A. Age-specific participation rates (National Survey) G. Unmet demand F. Compare C. Estimate total demand from local population B. Population by age-groups (Census)
Estimating demand for a leisure facility (Continued) A & B. Secondary data: National survey + Census C. Estimated total demand: 6543 visits per week D. Typical facility capacity: 1500 visits/week • Capacity of existing facilities: 3000 visit/week • Comparison: 6543 and 3000 visits/week • Unmet demand: 3500 visit/week • No. of new facilities to cater for unmet demand: 3500/1500: 2.33. Two facilities.
Case Study 14.3 Tourism trend analysis • Secondary data: quarterly tourist arrivals data from government agency • Moving average: Table 14.5: average of last four quarters • Trend: see Figure 14.3
Case Study 14.4 Facility utilisation • Secondary data: ticket/bookings data for different areas in a multi-purpose facility • See Table 14.6 and Figure 14.4
Case Study 14.5 Facility catchment area • Secondary data: customer address data – from bookings or membership records • See Figure 14.5
