In addition, theoretical background of clothes swapping events is also mentioned together with an introduction to Online swap events by Lagoom and an overview about the company.
Both quantitative and qualitative research analysis are involved in the research process. 2 questionnaires are conducted accordingly to 2 phases of the research process.
