Experiment

Regarding to our main key concept, perspective and causation, we went to visit the factory in Bogor, 'Goodyear' and the living area around it. We have 2 seperate parts of the experiment which are:

1. Going to the factory itself and find out what is being processed and burnt in the factory to know the cause and the factory's perspective.


2. Going to the living area around it which we have done on 13/05/07. Here, we find out the people's perspective and how do they live with the distraction of the factory waste.

By this experiment, we can now what the factory wants and has to do and what the people around the factory has to say about what is the effect of it on them.

The results that we got from the people's perspective are different because we interviewed people from 5 different parts of the factory. The most effective interview was with Ibu Mirani, who lived the closest to the factory (only a gap of one house from her house to the factory). She said: "A few years ago, the walls shake if the factory's working, flood happen because of the wall that is built in the river near the factory, dust come in homes. But we have protest and they listened. They have lessen the quantity of dust, will open the wall when it will rain, and decrease the massive working. Now, no such thing as wall shaking or other things happen." This was really helpful because it gives us lots of information to the effect of the factory. This is a picture of Ibu Mirani when we interviewed her.

We are planning to make an apointment with the factory next week (14-20 May) so we can know their perspective. Let's just hope they have all the information provided to anwer our question.
