  1. “Everything in its Place”: Investigating the affordances of integrated data display in analysing neighbourhood experiences of crime and disorder Graham Hughes QUIC Conference 2011 – University of Surrey 5 th May 2011 n.hughes@surrey.ac.uk

  2. Outline of presentation • Details of a pilot project used to develop techniques • Comments on data preparation and handling • Demonstrations of applications in MAXqda, NVivo, ATLAS.ti and Google Earth • Comments on analytical approaches • Pitfalls and problems encountered

  3. A Neighbourhood Research Project • Investigate perceptions of an area amongst its residents – Sense of boundaries – Fear of crime • Walking interviews recorded and logged on GPS • Sketch maps, photographs • Environmental audit

  4. Data Preparation • Audio recordings transcribed using F4 • GPS waypoints and tracks uploaded to Google Earth • Sketch maps scanned to PDF • Digital photos copied to project folder • Planning and control required outside and within CAQDAS program

  5. Why use Google Earth? Map Satellite Image

  6. Google Earth control panel

  7. Save a “place” in GE

  8. Creating a geolink in MAXqda

  9. How a geolink shows in MAXqda

  10. Working with GE and MAXqda

  11. MAXqda coding and audio

  12. Data Linkages Transcript Audio clip text Aerial Google view Earth Street view

  13. Creating a geolink in NVivo

  14. How the link appears in NVivo

  15. Working with GE and NVivo

  16. ATLAS.ti has a different approach

  17. Google Earth is embedded within ATLAS project

  18. Make a quotation (not a link)

  19. A Google Earth PD is a set of places

  20. Text quotes can be linked to GE quotes

  21. With a network create a “virtual crowd”

  22. Hyperlink GE Snapshot to quotations in transcripts or photos

  23. Use of historical imagery 2010 2004

  24. Comments on analytical approaches • Assists a shift from etic to emic perspective • Working from qualitative data to the place (not so useful if you want to do the reverse) • Most effective with public spaces, accessible by road • Connections and juxtapositions have to be made by the analyst • Analysis is probably more transparent and replicable

  25. Pitfalls and Problems • Place as a point, a line or an area – When a respondent talks about a particular street, which of these is it? • Tracking system does not cope when a respondent talks about one place whilst standing in another • Chance encounters with third parties during mobile interviews • Difficulty of anonymising interview data which is linked to accurate place data • Privacy issues with Google Earth
