I completed this assignment in a single day, and enjoyed doing a deep dive that combined both my passion for media and my personal hobby of playing/dissecting video games!
On that note, I feel that did go above and beyond by including my personal analysis on Rockstar and their wonderful work—which can be seen near the bottom of the case study.
If you’re interested in something like this, please contact me and I’d be happy to assist.
During a brainstorming session, I created a “to-do” list to help organize the direction and flow of my work. Here is the criteria I decided to follow:
-Figure out what component of the networks I’d like to use for the network visualization
-Find data that lets me map the network in R using different network packages like graph, graph,tidygraph, etc.
-Write R code, quadruple checking that running the code works on different devices
The next step would naturally be defining and understanding types of governance that impact the network:
-Things like laws (city, state, or federal), norms, technical features of systems (like traffic cameras), or any other mechanism that acts in a way that coordinates behavior on the network
-I needed to define those systems of governance, the way that they function, and how they impact the network in order to provide accurate end-results
-Explain how the network and governance interact as part of the city’s complex adaptive system
-Document how the governance systems identified directly impact the way resources spread through the city’s network
-Identify how structural issues in the network impact the flow of resources through the network
-Explain how the governance systems and network structures collectively impact the flow of resources on the network
My final brainstorming idea is all about how to make the flow of resources through the network function better:
-Using network structures and governance mechanisms to improve the flow of resources?
-Giving creative recommendations logically and thoroughly without worrying about how they would be implemented
-Explaining recommendations without regard to feasibility due to the inherent uncertainty of our future
