Kuus 2013
PR and trained to give interviews = feed you
Ethnography - glass ceiling

- observation
- longer term
-spaces and places of daily work

Question 2

Focus groups and land use policy (?;?)

Answer 2

Scott 2011
Good in combo with other methods
Good for uncovering the unforeseen, consensus, solving problems, raising challenges

Bad for small numbers and representativeness
Sample isn’t generalisable
Tension between representation and deliberation
Group dynamics
Not empowering or inclusive - voices marginalised within

Question 3

The walking interview (?;?)

Answer 3

Evans and Jones 2010
Qualitative GIS
Richer place narratives

BUT need place that can be walked
Excludes some participants
Risk emphasising locational over humanistic elements
Spatial discourse rather than temporal narrative
