Interior Department Strategic Plan Analysis



With summer kicking off the peak season for visiting national parks, Quantified Perception offers a snapshot analysis of the U.S. Department of Interior’s 2014-2018 Strategic Plan. Can we summarize a 56-page document in 150 words?

Content analysis reveals that the most common word in the Plan is “water," with 156 occurrences, not including compounds like “watershed.” The next most common word reflects the Department’s greatest public concern over the last few decades with “Indian,” “tribal,” and “tribes” aggregated for 147 occurrences. “Resources,” “land” (and “lands”) follow, with “strategy (and variations) rounding out the top five. The top twenty most frequent words, including the aggregate of “develop” and “development” are shown in the graphic below.
