Analysis Matrix Develops from Interviews

Interviews with strata stakeholders revealed six interesting themes that have been employed in a matrix to structure the design of the on-line questionnaire. 

One dimension of the matrix concerns the different key strata title stakeholder groups, the other dimension of the matrix concerns the six themes. The matrix has been employed in the survey to ensure coverage of the 6 thematic issues and to also ensure a range of stakeholder perspectives are adequately addressed.  A copy of the matrix can be downloaded here.

As the research progress, this matrix will form one of the bases of the analyses and research publications.

16 interviews with a cross section of strata title industry experts have been undertaken and transcribed. Transcription analysis has resulted in the distillation of the following six thematic areas that warrant addressing through recommendations to be included in the study's final reports: 
  1. need for greater unit owner awareness; 
  2. need to facilitate information availability to key decision makers; 
  3. need to facilitate improved strata and community decision making with respect to preparing for greater climate change; 
  4. need to facilitate the funding of building adaptation work; 
  5. need to facilitate improved weather event emergency management; 
  6. use of insurance to facilitate risk management.  
These six themes have been employed in a matrix to structure the design of the on-line questionnaire.
