The Methodology of the 'Views and Visions Project: of Land Use-UK: practices, issues, decisions and experiences
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 12:09 authored by Robertson, ME, Walford, R, Barr, C, Morrish, M, Francis, FThe Land Use-UK Project was conducted with the support of teachers and students in schools throughout the UK. At the time they acted as surveyors of the landscape and, as well as mapping the land use, students recorded their perceptions of what they had seen together with their views for the future. Referred to now as the 'Views and Visions Project', these collective opinions from mostly whole class groups of students provide a database of 1287 responses. Along with the richness of discovery and meaning which the readings of these narratives of landscape experience provide, there have been many decisions to be made regarding the appropriate style and strategies needed for development of the data and interpretation and analysis of the research. This paper provides a reflection on the methodological decisions taken from the personal perspective of the authors as well as some critical comment on the limitations and possibilities of this essentially qualitative research approach. © 2000, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
