My questions for my collaborate meeting call on Thursday:
Task: "The Bee's and their life in climate change"
- Do you know the importance of the Bee's?
- Are there also beekeepers in Spain? Ist that a usual hobby? Do you know somebody?
- What do you think about the bee's and the climate change?
- Are you interested in my task or in a collaboration together as well? Is there a possibility to observe bee's for you? Or what kind of collaboration is possible?
Important questions:
1) Who could be my collaboration partner?
2) What is my main topic of my project?
3) Which questions would i have been answered at the end of my project?
4) What difficulties could arise?
Possible answers on the questions above:
1a) national: a beekeeper (attend him, while he's gonna produce honey, ask him open questions and what are the reasons for having this passion) and Anabel (who also gonna buy a bee house and try the same experience like i do, but in a more natural environment. I'm gonna place mine at my balcony in an urban environment in the village centre).
1b) international: still don't know, but looking forward to meet people from the basque school and perhaps i wanna be lucky and find a collaborate partner.
2) To attend the development of my bee house, watching the bee's working, get informed of what kind of problems the environment change have an impact on the bee's and finally make my own honey :).
3) How big is the environment change as a problem for the bee's.
4) To connect all the topic's to one piece of work and find a suitable collaboration partner.
Our Goals (KW 2)
- finish text production
- find Picture and ask for Copyright
- talk with Ms. Sutter
- get Ready to post

Today we contacted Mr Ueli Nagel to do an interview with us. He is an expert in this field and hopefully he will agree to talk to us.
Also, we started to prepare a survey and the questions for our interview with Mr Nagel.
18. November 2020
We will finish preparing our interview questions and will send them to Mr Nagel. He responded to our request for an interview yesterday and we are thrilled to be able to get answers to our questions from an expert. Also we will email him back and ask him for time and date for our interview meeting via Zoom.

[in progress]
We are going to create a survey in order to find out about peoples opinions and to find out what they already know and do for our environment. Our goal is to show people, how many of them already do something for the earth.
Link for the german survey: https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/JgQ8WMUA
These are our questions:
1. Von welchen Klimawirksamen Massnahmen wissen Sie bereits?
(I) Names of research team: Dario Di Fazio & Justin Valiyaveettil
(II) Your Question (What?)
-Wider question (with link to your post): What are the differences between the best and the worst combination of building materials and facades?
-Refined question: (1) How are the building materials brought and disposed? (2) What impact to our environment do different surface textures have?
(III) Your Answer: Project description, methods/techniques, etc. (How?)
-Interviews with experts and/or companies who've built in cities.
-Research in the internet
-Visiting some buildings we compare
-Get some informations from friends who work in this field
(IV) Diverse, e.g. material needed, expert proposals, difficulties
-equipment for taking pictures and to record the interview

Concept, time plan for our IDAF project
Names of the research team:
Debora Röhtlin und Melane Mariathas
Our target:
- We want to find out how much do the people know about urban gardening. Also, we want to inform them how they can easily do urban gardening and where they can buy things to do that.
- Another point is, that we want to further educate our knowledge on this topic.
(On the link you can find our first post on this topic and our goal and achievement: Urban gardening - goal and achievement)
Project description:
- To to realize our project and our vision we want to make a survey about urban gardening and ask the people what they know about this topic and what they think about what everyone can do. With our main collaboration partners from India and the USA we working closely together. We are helping them with their project and they will comment on our posts and also circulate our survey in their school.
- Likewise, we are going to the city of Zurich and ask the people on the street what they know and give them a prospect of urban gardening with much information to educate them.
- It has an urban gardening shop in Wädenswil and we want to make a little interview with the owner of the shop to find out more information from a specialist.
Materials:
- We are going to do the survey with SurveyMonkey.
- For the street survey we need a video camera and later we have to cut the video.
- For the meeting with the manager of the shop, we need our phone to record the interview.
- To make the prospect we need to make our own photos and search for information. Also, we need a computer to create a prospect.

(I) Names of research team (Who?):
- Kevin & Tamara
(II) Your Question (What?)
- Wider question (with link to your post): What diseases threaten the trees in the city of Zurich?
- Refined question: (1) How can diseases be stopped? (2) Why are foreign plants really bad for our enviroment?
(III) Your Answer: Project description, methods/techniques, etc. (How?)
- Interview with an biologist
- Survey about the knowledge from others about trees
Do you think that you have a lot of sick trees in your country / your area where you live?
Do you know any of these? (some examples)
Which tree diseases are present in your next big city?
Which neophytes are present in your next big city?
etc.
- Presentation
Most common tree species
Diseases
Foreign plants / invasive plants
Product: Presentation with all information
(IV) Diverse, e.g. material needed, expert proposals, difficulties
-phone, laptop, biologist, survey tool, powerpoint
(V) Expert's Comment:
- We asked a biologist named Julia Fürst and she answered us a lot of questions.
(VI) Goal/Result: Website Post
- Structured and friendly to read
- Pictures we made
I Julian, Lukas and Livia
II How can you get people to implement climate-chaning measures?
- What do people already know about climate-changing measures?
- Where are the main costs if you do nothing for the climate?
- Why don't people implement climate-changing measures?
III Survey on climate-changing measures
Survey in german/english for every age group.
Possible questions:
- Which measures do you already know of?
- What do you already do for our climate?
- How much do you do for the climate?
- Why don't you implement certain measures? (lack of information, lack of money, lack of motivation etc.)
- What would it take you to implement those measures?
- Where do you think are main costs of doing nothing about the climate change?
Product: results of our survey + seperate post
IV We're going to create a survey on an online tool.
For the answer to the question about the costs which would arise if we do nothing, we want to ask a specialist. Who this is going to be isn't certain yet.
V Isn't certain yet.
VI It should be well structured with clear headings and texts. It should also have enough pictures for better understanding. The results of the survey and the calculations should be visible on our post.
The fundamental question we face with our project is: "Which builiding material combined with which surface results in the best combination for buildings in city considering the impact on climate and environment?" In addition we ask ourselves which is the worst combination to determine the difference.
The answer to this question is really complex and requires a lot of research to answer it finally. From our point of view at the beginning of the project we think that a combination between natural stone as a building material and a planted facade will be the optimal concept. As the worst combination we imagine a combination between concrete and a dark surface which reflects strongly. The difference between these two models considering climate and environment will be huge, thats for sure.
