Field Work July 2018
This project, within the Seedbed of Economics, offers the main conclusions of the ANALYSIS OF COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN MAKENI (July 2018), whose scope of action focuses on the market and the main street (Lunsar Road) that unites the market with UNIMAK.
This analysis is essential to know in depth the local reality and to be able to define next steps of action between UNIMAK and CEU together.To carry out this activity, a series of steps were carried out that facilitated the fieldwork. In the first place, the object of analysis was divided into zones in order to determine the magnitude that could be covered during the two weeks of work. Subsequently, a pre-test was carried out to verify that the questionnaires, designed in Spain, were adapted to the local reality and were perfectly understandable. The information focuses on sellers and buyers, in order to analyze distribution and consumption behaviors and, thus, be able to extract recommendations for the future.
