These diagrams illustrate one of the conundrums of bus shelters, using our precedent shelter as an example. Individuals who are waiting for a bus generally do not use the shelter. A few individuals will use the benches inside the shelter, but most gravitate in clusters around the trees. This is true even during inclement weather, most people will stand outside with their jackets or umbrellas. Due to the proximetrics and space comfort levels of average individuals, very few get to use the structure, because nobody wants to get close to each other. Also is it that trees represent an iconic symbol of shelter with which humans subconsciously identify? Are there other lurking variables associated with this site or with any bus stop site that are influencing this pattern of activity? It seems by examining this detail during our code exercises, more questions were raised than were answered. This is my portion of the codes diagrams, the others as well as the essay outlining our findings produced by my group, the Jacks, can be viewed by visiting my group mate's blogs.
