REPORT
Results and Analysis
Methods along with Participants and Data collection
The research has been conducted with an overall aim to gain an understanding of the
awareness of the different associated refugee’s crisis and the hardships which a refugee has to go
through to live a normal life. The data collection procedure which has been followed for the
study can be taken to be through well-structured questionnaires and the interview method. The
method of mixed approach has been chosen for the collection of the data and the quantitative as
well as the qualitative data analysis procedure has been made use of (Bryman ,2006). The
qualitative data has been collected through the means of the structured interviews and the
quantitative data was undertaken through the survey procedure. The link of the surveys was
shared with the participants (Braun et al. 2019). The data has been collected from both refugee
and the non-refugee participants. The information was collected from 42 respondents through a
google survey. The social media was used to share the links with the students of the University
of Manchester and Refugee Right Centre in South Korea (University of Manchester 2017). The
period of the data collection can be taken to be from 13th of December 2019 to the 2nd of
February in 2020. Although the link was sent out to many respondents, but at the same time only
42 respondents were the ones who replied. The means of IBM SPSS was made used of. In
association with this, the interview was collected during the same time as the questionnaires.
However, only two respondents were willing to reply for the interview (Bryman ,2016). A
similar interview schedule was used for the participants. The Participant Information sheet and
the privacy notice were given to the Research participants. Additionally, the research has been
approved by the University of Manchester.
Limitations
The limitations of the study can be stated to be as follows:
A limited number of respondents had been taken for the purpose of the questionnaire.
This is because many responses were not willing to reply or were worried about their
associated aspects.
