社会科学家已经开始以各种方式与“移动中”的参与者进行接触。本文介绍了一项试点研究的结果，该研究采用定性 GIS 技术来分析步行访谈在捕获与人们对地点的理解相关的数据方面的有效性。我们介绍步行采访，探讨两个问题：人们所说的内容和说话地点之间的关系；以及步行采访和久坐采访生成的数据之间的定性和定量差异。我们的结果表明，通过步行访谈生成的数据深受其所在景观的影响，强调了环境特征在形成讨论中的重要性。我们还证明了步行和久坐技术在丰富的地方叙事的产生中在数量和研究区域的空间特异性方面存在可测量的差异。本文最后承认，对地点进行以技术为中心的分析存在强调地点而非人文元素的风险，但认为，如果谨慎地进行，定性 GIS 方法可以为让规划者和政策制定者认识到当地与地点的联系的重要性提供巨大的潜力。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Social scientists have begun engaging with participants 'on the move' in a variety of ways. This paper presents the results of a pilot study, which deployed a qualitative GIS technique to analyse the effectiveness of walked interviews in capturing data relating to people's understanding of place. We give an account of the walking interview exploring two issues: the relationship between what people say and where they say it: and qualitative and quantitative differences between data generated by walking and sedentary interviews. Our results indicate that the data generated through walking interviews are profoundly informed by the landscapes in which they take place, emphasising the importance of environmental features in shaping discussions. We also demonstrate a measureable difference between walking and sedentary techniques in the production of rich place narratives both in terms of their quantity and spatial specificity to the study area. The paper concludes by acknowledging that a technocentric analysis of place runs the risk of emphasising locational above humanistic elements, but argues that, done sensitively, a qualitative GIS approach offers great potential for engaging planners and policy makers with the importance of local connections to place.
