I would start with user interviews.

At this stage, I want depth over volume. Before building or optimizing anything, I need to understand what people actually feel, struggle with, and value. Interviews help me uncover motivations and real pain points instead of relying on assumptions.

If I understand the problem deeply first, I can design better solutions later.

# data[].attributes.body
Questionnaires nd Surveys are the most convenient for me as I can get first-hand information and data while also getting to see the current information in real time as the can be able to show me their experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Roleplay and walkthroughs at early stage followed by curated interviews with a smaller focus group

# data[].attributes.body
I think interviews are the best option to get to know the users. Most of the time, I feel like I understand better when I talk to people 1:1

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and filed observation

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews ,surveys and questionaires are fit for my project as with them i get to understand the user needs through in depth interview and carrying out questionairres

For Käkedom Tools, the most suitable research methods right now are user interviews, field observation, and rapid prototyping with feedback sessions because I already have direct access to the community members who participated in our workshops. These methods allow me to quickly understand real user needs, observe how people interact with tools in their actual environment, and test early versions of the platform. Together, they give me practical, reliable insights that match both my learning goals and the level of access I currently have.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I will mainly use surveys, observation and interviews for my project at this stage

Survey and Questionnairea

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and interviews would really help

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys are a great way to gather data and reach masses.

# data[].attributes.body
I think field surveys and interviews would be most suitable for my project as this will help me understand current waste disposal habits, perceptions about burning, and openness to new solutions and identify local demand for affordable tissue paper and animal feed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the suitable method for now is surveys and questionnaires because I am still in the ideation phase of my project and I do not have time and resources to conduct in person interviews.

# data[].attributes.body
Observation/field study & interviews. I call it ''living with the community''. It will give me a better understanding of their struggles and how they navigate it, and the emotions that goes into how they try and navigate their current situations and directly engaging with them to uncover deeper insights that I may have overlooked and see things from their perspective. It will also allow us to co-create solutions with them instead of creating what we think they need.

# data[].attributes.body
I think interviews with tasks and challenges that ask the user to create something for you or with you help you understand their point of view.

I also think noticing the way your user approaches and thinks about the problem without your intervention is a good source of data.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys & questionnaires. I need to understand the extent of the problem and I want to track this from a large number of people. I need to get to the bottom of the numbers of my problem on people perspectives and general view

# data[].attributes.body
I'll begin with interviews, as my work is more of understanding their feelings as they are going through this problem. I also believe that it will give me a better understanding of the problem I am trying to solve.

Food insecurity and agricultural distress in Nepal and India reveal a deep disconnect between policy, data, and lived reality. Despite both countries possessing some of the most fertile lands in the world, food wastage and mismanagement remain widespread. In India, nearly 74 million tonnes of food are wasted annually—about 22% of total grain output—largely due to poor storage, transport, and distribution systems. At the same time, farmer suicides remain alarmingly high, with over 10,000 cases reported in 2023, reflecting a crisis driven by debt, droughts, and market instability. Similarly, in Nepal, reports show that more than 70% of agricultural subsidies are misappropriated, and while the government allocates billions of rupees in support, many farmers remain unaware of these programs or unable to access them. Traditional misconceptions, bureaucratic inefficiency, and political vested interests further worsen the situation. However, while research papers and statistical reports highlight the magnitude of these problems, they often fail to capture the complex human stories behind them—the farmers’ frustration, the cultural barriers, and the local realities. True understanding requires ground reports and firsthand engagement with farming communities, which can reveal the gaps between policy promises and everyday experiences, and help design solutions that are both practical and just.

There's three methods that are ideal for farm sente 1. Interviews (Qualitative)

Why: I can easily access elders and small-scale farmers in GaMolepo to learn about their past experiences with farming, challenges (like water scarcity), and willingness to adopt sustainable practices.

What I’ll learn: Deeper understanding of motivations, struggles, and cultural values around farming.

2. Surveys & Questionnaires (Quantitative)

Why: Helpful to reach more households quickly and get measurable data on interest in farming, preferred crops, and resource needs.

What I’ll learn: Trends across the community, such as % of people who would participate in Farm Sente or average household food insecurity.

3. Observation (Field Studies)

Why: By visiting old farms, gardens, and household plots, I can see the real conditions—soil quality, water access, and current farming behavior.

What I’ll learn: The gap between what people say (e.g., “farming is impossible”) and what actually happens (e.g., some still grow small crops).

# data[].attributes.body
Given Kiwu’s stage and my proximity to communities in Mwingi and Simba, I’ll rely on a mix of qualitative methods, primarily informal interviews, listening circles, and site observations.

These methods feel most suitable right now because they allow me to capture lived experiences, everyday routines, and subtle gendered dynamics around water collection and cost, insights that surveys or remote tools might miss. They’re also trust-based, which is key when engaging women and youth who’ve historically been excluded from decision-making on water access.

# data[].attributes.body
The methods that suited my project were a survey and an interview. This kind of method will help me to know more about their hope, wishes, and dreams. The survey helps me to understand what kind of indicator of interest and feeling. And then, the interview will guide me to the next step.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I think Survey is what I need now because I have been with friends and family in the time of need for solution. So I need a quantitative -Surveys to validate my hunches!

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and survey/questionnaire based research suits my project at the moment to discover both qualitative and quantitative directions for proper goal setting.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and field observations feel most suitable right now because they allow me to directly engage with affected community members, understand their lived experiences, and uncover deeper insights into their real needs and challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
As my goal is to currently map out the system, my project being at early ideation stage. Hence it requires deep insights, so I can use Interviews to begin with, to understand how people thing or feel about it. As environmental issues are more ingrained in behaviour, it would be better to see how they actually act in scenarios for this observation would be best. Afterwards I will move towards surveys to find the trends amongst the target population .

# data[].attributes.body
Informal interviews & conversations with youth consumers – easy to set up through my existing networks; gives direct, qualitative insight into perceptions and preferences.

Focus groups with local artisans/designers – helps surface barriers and opportunities in upcycling production at small scale.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and walkthroughs will be the most helpful to me currently. That said, surveys have their place and would be useful to support my findings

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and walk throughs are best aligned to my project as both of these will enable me indepth information from the community

# data[].attributes.body
The research method that feels more accurate for my project launch currently is interviews and questionnaire and survey. This will help me grab first hand reaction and user emotion and personal feedback on the project need and its product

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I want to learn and my current access to users, roleplays & walkthroughs feel the most suitable right now.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews, directly interacting with the community always gives you great insights

# data[].attributes.body
at first i would need quantitative data but then in prototyping i would need qualitative as well

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys with target users and Interviews with key people.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use observation and interviews as my solution is at the pre assembled stage thus getting feedback as organically as possible is my research priority.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, interviews, field observations and diary studies and walk throughs would best serve me in understanding the behaviours, attitudes and needs of my target audience.

# data[].attributes.body
I always prefer tertiary study and talking with consumer

# data[].attributes.body
I think l will go for field observations because the research l am doing needs me to observe in person. l am focusing on heat stress in livestock and trying to study the patterns and setup in which they are kept in so that the best answer to deploy is developed.

Observations, surveys, interviews and local gatherings with stakeholders involved would be my best way of researching for my product

# data[].attributes.body
My project will be best developed through research methods like door-to-door household surveys and questionnaires to understand how households generate plastic waste and their willingness to participate in the cash incentive recycling program ( buy-back systems). I also intend to use the same method to test my recycled product with my users who are ladies to understand their preferences and what they care most that suits their needs

Getting information through observation will also help develop my idea because I can directly see how these households use and dispose of plastic waste. Through observation I can tell whether plastics are increasing or reducing on the landfill.

# data[].attributes.body
I will do survey as I am working on Climate and Mental Health so it will help me understand the real impacts ans views of my target audience

# data[].attributes.body
Since my project is a platform for my community it would be best if I conducted interviews with different groups I am trying to target. This will give me a comprehensive overview of the different factors at play.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in-depth interviews and surveys, both which would be conducted virtually, would be ideal for my project. A first hand observation of what people do versus what they say they do would have been suitable save that field observation especially in relation to my project would require my physical presence at the place where I need to observe. However, interviews and surveys can be conducted virtually, and are beneficial to gathering information reported data about how my target audience interact with the problem I intend solving.

# data[].attributes.body
I think surveys are my best option as I am still deep in my ideation phase. My master's also takes up most of my time, so I would not be able to set aside time to conduct field or personal interviews.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I think community dialogue and focus groups as these allow me to capture lived experiences directly from youth, women, elders, and grassroots organizers. They create space for diverse voices and reveal emotional, cultural, and social dimensions of climate challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
I think surveys and observations would work the best because it is the best way to get a general understanding about a large group quickly and framing the solution as a whole. After that when it comes to developing a more specific solution, interviews may work better for tailoring or specific features.

# data[].attributes.body
The most suitable research methods for my project are interviews and roleplays/walkthroughs, as they align with the project’s early design stage and the need to deeply understand user experiences. Through 1:1 interviews with banana producers and packaging companies, we can explore their motivations, challenges, and expectations, gaining insights into how they currently manage agricultural residues, what economic or operational barriers they face, and how they perceive sustainable packaging solutions. These conversations will uncover what users think and feel, allowing us to design a solution that responds directly to their real needs. Meanwhile, roleplays and walkthroughs will allow us to simulate real scenarios, for example, how a farmer would collect and deliver banana residues, or how a packaging company would integrate our fibers into production. Observing user behavior during these simulations will help identify confusion points, emotional triggers, and moments of satisfaction, offering valuable feedback to refine our concept before scaling. Together, these methods will provide both emotional depth and practical validation, ensuring that our solution is grounded in real-world user experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I think doing survey, questionnaires, and field observation would be a great tools to help me improve my product or how to make the action sustain. It was a challenge to gauge honesty of the users if they have presumption. Sometimes in depth interview for them feel like an eggshells if they have to be responsible while having such small power over the institution. So observing and making questionnaires that is designed to make them honest about the impact can be the best course of action to gather data. A deep interview for their boss may follow later to understand the systemic problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Observations would be best for my project goals. Its easy for people to want to answer in a positive way - yes I want to be more sustainable! Instead, its more fruitful to see how they make decisions when one less sustainable and one more sustainable option is present to them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a combination of interviews and role play/giving the product to our customer makes the most sense. We are still early, but also are actively working with customers who we know are willing to pay for our solution just based on our early prototypes already. Now we need to develop personas, fine tune our solution, and find more customers in our Niche.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and questionnaires for my project would be the most suitable because I am working with a large population and I need a big data pool to work on.

# data[].attributes.body
Survay and questionaries because Im looking for experiences and I would like to know how they need fot the furture events. In specific what are their ideas for future events

# data[].attributes.body
a workshop or maybe peer circle or gathering over food would be so interesting to spark conversation and to bring folks together to bring these conversations, ideas, and solutions to life (in a human to human way...folks always connect well over food)

# data[].attributes.body
I think a combination of field studies (fly on the wall) and loosely-structured interviews would be best to understand the stories that people have, but to really create a space where people are willing to share these stories.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and questionnaires are the mist suitable now because I do not have the time and resources to conduct interviews evaluating how they are affected by vehicle emissions from the public transport they use daily. Therefore online surveys or questionnaires can help me get the information that I want

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and literature reviews are cost-effective and practical tools for understanding climate issues. Surveys allow researchers to directly capture public perceptions, local experiences, and behavioral responses to climate change, providing context-specific insights that technical data alone might miss. They help reveal patterns of vulnerability, adaptation strategies, and levels of awareness across communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys, but with engaging content are probably most effective for my project.. this way people would be drawn to the content to want to be open and honest when answering questions related to deep messages.

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys with households, waste collectors, and small construction firms can help me understand current waste management habits, willingness to supply plastics, and demand for low-cost tiles and pavers. They’re affordable, scalable, and provide quick insights.

Interviews and focus groups with builders, architects, and local authorities will give deeper, qualitative feedback on performance expectations, certification needs, and market adoption barriers.

# data[].attributes.body
For the stage I am at in my project development, it makes the most sense to focus on a combination of Observation and Self-Report. I've been exploring and utilizing services that are similar to mine and taken notes on my experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think for me, Surveys and Questionnaires mixed Diary Studies would work best. I need to understand why they behave the way they do but not just focus on daily occurences, I need data that tell the story over longer period of time

# data[].attributes.body
Eventhough I think that everyone's answers are amazing, I still do believe the part of lacking in understanding that this is all easily done with being intentional with the way we treat the user is super important.

# data[].attributes.body
For my project, surface-level investigation is not enough. It is equally important to understand users’ behavior in their natural environment. That is why observation and field study are crucial, making them the most suitable research methods.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to test ideas with users so im going to use walk throughs and roleplays to find out if my solution resonates with them

# data[].attributes.body
My project requires me to use the survey and questionnaire approach because I need to gather broad insights from students and school administrators to understand their level of awareness, interest, and exposure to renewable energy, EVs, and battery technologies. This will help me identify general trends and gaps across different schools.

I will also use the interview approach with teachers and students because I need deeper conversations to explore their motivations, challenges, and practical ideas. This will provide richer context beyond surface-level responses and help me design training modules that truly fit their needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The most suitable research methods for me currently are interviews and observation. They are both qualitative and would help me interact with people and get understanding of their pain points and needs, as well as see first hand what their environment looks like and share their experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe interviews and surveys will help me evaluate the need and problem the people are facing

# data[].attributes.body
My project requires me to lean into more qualitative methods such as interviews, role plays etc. Without this approach I will not be able to fully understand what my target audience really and truly goes through and if there is a need for my product

My project requires me to conduct interviews, because I want to understand the perspectives of small clinic owners on medical waste management, and perhaps uncover some insights that can guide my solution

# data[].attributes.body
I believe field studies, observations and role plays will guide me throughout my project. I think they will engage Primary school going pupils more in order to manage waste in the schools where they go for studies.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that interviews and surveys will play a key role in my project. They will help me get a deeper understanding of the problem i want to address.

# data[].attributes.body
I should have done more field studies and surveys. For my project to work better, I need to listen and understand the farmers very well

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would lean into Interviews. Because my project is about people sense and ideas, I cant really use quantitative data for now

# data[].attributes.body
Surveys and field studies will be the most useful for my project, as they will allow me to capture both quantitative data and lived experiences directly from participants.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews, questionnaries, and field studies will be the most useful research method to obtain different type of data due to the lack or not exact value of information that validates the status quo of the environmental challange. And in my case, it would be very interesting to know different types of perspectives from the people based on their experiences and knowledge. Plus, this would help to have an idea of the differents gaps that the project may need to fill so it would be easier to involve the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and questionnaires will be the most useful to me because one problem with my project is that there is no exact or specific data that quantitatively validates the loss of food by farmers. I would also be interested in knowing the attitude or behavior of producers when showing interest in helping them and, above all, knowing if they would be willing to work together.

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and surveys make the most sense. I want to make sure my project is worthwhile and engaging for people, so I first need to know what they currently feel they are missing.

# data[].attributes.body
1:1 interviews, surveys, Diary Studies and Self Reports because, I am a user myself too.

# data[].attributes.body
The interviews and surveys were very helpful — they gave us real insights into user needs, validated the problem of CO₂ emissions across industries, and highlighted the demand for affordable, scalable clean energy solutions. This feedback is shaping our solution design and go-to-market approach. It help to test the technical viability and customer value

# data[].attributes.body
Interviews and surveys will work best in my project. They will help me deepen my understanding on the subject matter and help me strenghten the decisions I take
