To input your survey questions into Microsoft Excel for data interpretation, especially for cluster sampling in your research, you can structure your spreadsheet in a way that each part of the survey corresponds to specific columns. Below is a suggested format on how to organize the data:
### Excel Setup:
1. **Open Excel**: Start a new spreadsheet.
2. **Column Headers**: In the first row, create headers for each question and demographic information. Each row under these headers will correspond to a single respondent’s answers. Here’s an example of how you can set up the columns:
| **Name** | **Age (18-25|26-35|36-45|46-55|56+)** | **Are you a tourist? (Yes/No)** | **Tourist Nationality (Filipino/Foreign)** | **City/Municipality** | **Reason for Visit** | **Gender (Male/Female/Non-binary/Prefer not to say)** | **Occupation (Student/Employed/Self-employed/Unemployed/Retired)** | **Familiarity with Regional Tourism Hub (Very Familiar/Somewhat Familiar/Not Familiar)** | **Tourist Facilities Availability (Very Satisfactory/Satisfactory/Neutral/Unsatisfactory/Very Unsatisfactory)** | **Tourism Infrastructure Assessment (Excellent/Good/Average/Poor/Very Poor)** | **Importance of Central Location (Very Important/Important/Neutral/Not Important/Not Important at all)** | **Major Issues (Select all applicable)** | **What services/amenities do you expect? (Select all applicable)** | **Preferred Transportation (Select all applicable)** | **Agreement on Central Hub (1 to 5)** | **Agreement on Asset to Local Community (1 to 5)** | **Agreement on Visitor Experience (1 to 5)** | **Agreement on Heritage Preservation (1 to 5)** | **Agreement on Region's Image (1 to 5)** |
|----------|---------------------|----------------------|----------------------|--------------------|------------------|------------------|--------------------------|----------------------|------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------|-------------------------|--------------------|------------------------|-----------------|---------------------|-------------------|------------------|
### Explanation of Each Column:
- **Name**: Column for optional name input (leave blank if not provided).
- **Age**: You can have separate columns for each age group (18-25, 26-35, etc.). Use binary values (1 for selected, 0 for not selected).
- **Are you a tourist?**: Have options as "Yes" or "No".
- **Tourist Nationality**: This will be filled if "Are you a tourist?" is "Yes".
- **City/Municipality**: For tourists who answered "No".
- **Reason for Visit**: Open-ended field where respondents can specify their reason.
- **Gender**: Use binary values or label as Male, Female, Non-binary, and Prefer not to say.
- **Occupation**: Similar format as Age, using binary values (1 for selected, 0 for not selected).
- **Familiarity with Regional Tourism Hub, Tourist Facilities Availability, Tourism Infrastructure Assessment, Importance of Central Location**: Use options (Very Familiar, Somewhat Familiar, etc.) like numerical values for each option (e.g., 1-3 scale).
- **Major Issues**: You may create separate columns for each listed issue and indicate with binary values (1 for selected, 0 for not selected).
- **What services/amenities do you expect?**: Similarly, create columns for each service/amenity.
- **Preferred Transportation**: Again, create a separate column for each transport option.
- **Agreement on questions (1 to 5)**: Create columns for each statement (8 to 12), where responses can be numerical (1 to 5 scale).
### Filling the Data:
When you distribute your survey and collect responses, you can fill in each respondent's answer in the corresponding row beneath the headers. For checkboxes where multiple answers are possible, you can define additional columns for each option (as mentioned in questions 5, 1, and 2 under parts 2 and 3) to accurately capture the responses.
### Data Analysis:
Once all responses are filled into your Excel sheet, you can use Excel features like PivotTables, filtering, and charts to analyze the data according to your cluster sampling method. This organization will facilitate easier interpretation of the results regarding demographics, awareness, needs, and perceptions related to the tourism hub.
