Local Government and Development Studies Final Year Topic: Usability of a Synthetic Local Development Document Catalogue

This Local Government and Development Studies final year project examines whether adults can locate a specific plan or report using proposed catalogue labels.

Why choose this project topic?

Usability of a Synthetic Local Development Document Catalogue gives the proposal a specific research question to investigate. By examining whether adults can locate a specific plan or report using proposed catalogue labels, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.

Which categories cause repeated unsuccessful searches?

Use no confidential plans or private resident data.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define a feasible study scope for whether adults can locate a specific plan or report using proposed catalogue labels.
  2. 02Use a disconnected prototype with synthetic documents in voluntary tasks.
  3. 03Compare retrieval without accessing restricted archives.

A suggested research approach

Use a disconnected prototype with synthetic documents in voluntary tasks. Compare retrieval without accessing restricted archives. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.

What you will need

  • Prototype catalogue
  • Synthetic documents
  • Adult consent

Keep your project scope clear

Prototype findings do not certify archive security or complete records coverage.
