Chapter 4

What is the purpose of chapter 4

• Chapter 4 is also known as the data presentation and
analysis
• This chapter presents all data gathered. Either through
surveys, interviews, observations and document
search.
• Each type of data should be presented accordingly
(see detailed explanation next slides)
• The data that should be presented MUST ANSWER
all the sub problems in chapter 1.
• TIP: organize the data chronologically based on how
you organize your sub problems
 How to present data
• The general rule in data presentation is
1. Write the TYPE of data (title)
2. Display the data gathered (paragraph / charts / photos)
3. Explain the data and how was this acquired
 Sample

 Contents of Chapter 5
• Summary
• Conclusion
• Recommendation
 Summary
• List down all the significant data you have gathered
in your chapter 4 on a scratch paper, then collate all
those significant data and present it again in
paragraph form.
• Ex.
The South Gen Hospital is one of the key research
environment in the study to gather data for the proposed
new hospital; here are the key data that is identified to be
crucial for the study. The highest age population of the
patients are 20-above years old while the lowest age
population is 5-10 yrs old. The most concerning issues the
patients have with the hospital is the view and the least
concerning is the odor, etc…
 Conclusion
• After writing the summary, read it again and express
your opinion about the data gathered. When
concluding now you can use THEREFORE
• Ex.
therefore for the new hospital design, the age
population to prioritize in terms of user experience would
be the 20-above years old. The highest priority of concerns
that should be addressed would be the view etc…
 Recommendation
• This is where the researchers write recommendations
as to how to improve or solve the main problem
• This is also where the researcher recommends future
researchers to work on areas which was not tackled
by the existing research
• Ex.
for the Proposed Biophilic hospital in Naga,
the best approach in Biophilic architecture would be to
tackle on scenic views…
The researcher would recommend future
researchers to focus on gathering data about the
psychology of the patients to enhance user experience
