Bestandsaufnahme und alternative Konzeption der kommunalen Eigenentwicklung zur flächeneffizienten Steuerung der Siedlungsentwicklung. Das Beispiel der Region Halle-Leipzig

The development of residential areas in the context of settlement development is a significant driver regarding land use and thus critical in achieving the goal of reduced new land use to less than 30 hectares per day by 2030. Although spatial planning and spatial science have been addressing this issue for years, e.g. through consistent land management, the current land use in Germany amounts to around 52 hectares per day (as of 2019). This is i.a. because the control of settlement development often only intervenes in developments that go beyond the own communal development. Approaches to controlling self-development usually remain on a blanket level and thus promote decentralized decisions that, in total, contradict the set goals. The aim of this paper is to present a model for calculating self-development, which not only takes demographic development into account, but also aligns the size of self-development with site-specific requirements to consider the principles of spatial planning and thus promote sustainable spatial development. In its empirical basis, the paper is based on statistical analyses of the respective needs as well as surveys, interviews research results that have been carried out or have arisen within the framework of the BMBFfunded project Interko2.

Implementation of Traffic Safety Management on Road Sections with Non-Standard Grades

The majority of traffic accidents were caused by the negligence of drivers and road users, followed by vehicle factors, and road conditions as the following variable. The focus of this research is on traffic safety managementcaused by the level of incline and descent on the Sofi-Wayabula road, Morotai Regency. This quantitative descriptive research involved traffic management, maintenance, and patrol supervisors. The research instrument applied consisting observation sheets, interview, and documentation research sheets. The grade or road slope outside the standard requires the mitigation of traffic sign engineering. This study proposes it through the implementation of the Building Information Modeling or BIM method supported by the optimization of 3D animation of traffic signs, especially in North Maluku. The research findings indicated that a number of drivers were assisted by the implementation of 3D animation engineering of traffic signs at a number of accident-prone points along the 10.9 km on the Sofi-Wayabula road, Morotai Regency, North Maluku Province. The research targets agreed by the researcher were effective with traffic safety governance supported by renewable technology methods and engineering.

Comparison of Literature Review, Social Media Listening, and Qualitative Interview Research Methods in Generating Patient-Reported Symptom and Functional Impact Concepts of Presbyopia.

To compare the insights obtained about the experience of individuals with presbyopia (age-related impaired near vision) across three different sources of qualitative data: a structured targeted literature review, a social media listening (SML) review, and qualitative concept elicitation (CE) interviews with individuals with presbyopia and healthcare professionals (HCPs). The number of concepts identified, depth of data, cost and time implications, and value of the patient insights generated were explored and compared for each method. Keywordsearches in bibliographic databases and review of abstracts identified 120 relevant publications; in-depth targeted literature review of the qualitative studies identified key symptoms/functioning concepts. SML was conducted using publicly accessible social media sources with focus on ophthalmologic diseases using a pre-defined search string. Relevant posts from individuals with presbyopia (n = 270) were analysed and key concepts identified. Semi-structured CE interviews were conducted with individuals with presbyopia (US n = 30, Germany n = 10, France n = 10), and HCPs (US = 3, France n = 2, Germany n = 1, Japan n = 1) who were experienced in treating presbyopia. Verbatim transcripts were coded using thematic analysis. A conceptual model summarised concepts identified across sources RESULTS: Out of the total of 158 concepts identified across the three sources, qualitative CE interviews yielded the highest number of concepts (n = 151/158, 96%), with SML yielding a third of the concepts (n = 51/158, 32%) and the literature review yielding the fewest concepts (n = 33/158, 21%). Qualitative CE interviews provided greater depth of data than SML and literature reviews. SML and literature reviews were less costly and quicker to run than qualitative CE interviews and also were less burdensome for participants. Qualitative CE interviews are considered the gold standard in providing greater depth of understanding of the patient experience, and more robust data. However, research requirements, budget, and available time should be considered when choosing the most appropriate research method. More time and cost-effective SML and literature review methods can be used to supplement qualitative CE interview data and provide early identification of measurement concepts. More research and regulatory guidance into less traditional qualitative methods, however, are needed to increase the value of SML and literature review data.

What Good is Qualitative Literacy Without Data Transparency?

Ethnographic and interview research have made significant contributions to cumulative social science and influenced the public conversation around important social issues. However, debates rage over whether the standards of positivistic social science can or should be used to judge the rigor of interpretive methods. I begin this essay by briefly delineating the problem of developing evaluative criteria for qualitative research. I then explore the extent to which Small and Calarco's Qualitative Literacy helps advance a set of standards attuned to the distinct epistemology of interview and ethnographic methods. I argue that “qualitative literacy” is necessary but not sufficient to help readers decide whether a particular study is high quality. The reader also needs access to enough information about the researcher's data, field site, or subjects that she can independently reanalyze the researcher's interpretations and consider alternative explanations. I also touch on some important differences between ethnography and interviewing that matter for how we evaluate them.

Asylum seeker poverty and bail reporting change activism

This paper provides an overview of research that led to change activism in support of asylum seeker rights in Stoke-on-Trent in the UK. In 2018, the Government disbanded localised asylum bail reporting procedures leading to asylum seekers based in Stoke-on-Trent having to travel to Salford (approximately 100-mile-round-trip) for Home Office reporting. Interview research with 19 paid or unpaid professionals working with, or on behalf of, asylum seekers at operational and strategic levels provided evidence of significant issues faced by asylum seekers based on this policy and procedure change. Poor mental health, racism, increased poverty and gender inequality, modern slavery and exploitation risks and children’s education were compromised and exacerbated by changes to reporting proceedings. Evidence also demonstrated the changes to reporting arrangements led to resource implications for local services in Stoke-on-Trent and the Home Office itself. Findings were suggestive of Human Rights, Equality and Public Health concerns, alongside highlighting practice that stigmatises victims in a criminogenic way. Reinstating localised reporting was supported by all participants and researchers advocated for the Home Office to also consider tele-reporting options.

Subversive Habits: Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle by Shannen Dee Williams

Reviewed by: Subversive Habits: Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle by Shannen Dee Williams Margaret Susan Thompson Subversive Habits: Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle. By Shannen Dee Williams. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2022. 424 pp. $29.95. Subversive Habits is the first book-length account of Black Catholic sisters in the United States. Based upon extensive research in relevant archives and numerous interviews with Black sisters (and former sisters) themselves, it fills an important gap in Catholic, Black, and women's history. Shannen Dee Williams's book aims at telling at least three interconnected but distinct stories: that of Black women in U.S. religious life, the experiences of and responses to racism that these sisters experienced, and their activism inside and outside the church. As the author puts it in her conclusion, her overarching objective is to demonstrate why "scholars must center the experiences of Black women and girls in the history of U.S. Catholicism, reconsider narratives that foreground white Catholics in struggles for racial, educational, and gender justice, and push back against characterizations of African American Catholics as politically complacent or conservative" (264). As she puts it in her final sentence, "It is my hope that this book, in offering a more honest accounting of the U.S. Catholic experience and the central place of Black sisters within it, can provide another pathway forward" (269). The result is a compelling and generally persuasive read. No one finishing Subversive Habits can be anything other than convinced of the racism that Black women have faced in the more than two centuries of women's religious life in the United States. Whether drawing upon archival sources or on her many oral history interviews, Williams [End Page 75] conveys both the frustrations and the real pain that Black women repeatedly faced—in communities comprised mainly of European Americans and even in African American congregations—as they attempted to live out their vocations. The suffering of those who were rejected as they tried to pursue vowed commitment, as well as those who experienced blatant racism both from clerics and from women religious themselves (including those who presumably were their "sisters"), is undeniable. The author makes a compelling case that Black Catholics, including Black sisters, have often been portrayed as objects rather than subjects, even of their own stories. Among the important and traditionally overlooked subjects she explores are the history of the National Black Sisters Conference, the consequences of desegregation for Black Catholic institutions (including Black sisters' congregations and the schools they conducted), and both the tensions and collaboration between Black clergy and women religious. The most original contributions Williams makes are in her coverage of the period from World War II (to the present), when her focus is simultaneously on women in predominantly Black communities and on those who attempted, with decidedly mixed success, to enter and remain in "white" ones. Here, she draws extensively on 67 interviews, mostly of Black women she interviewed either in person, by email, or over the telephone. Since many of the individuals are reflecting upon experiences—undeniably powerful and often searing—that occurred as much as a half century or more in the past, it would have been helpful had Williams given at least some methodological explanation as to how she dealt with the effect of the passage of time on these memories. [Two scholarly journals would have been helpful in this regard, History and Memory, and the Oral History Review, but both seem absent from the bibliography.] More troubling are instances where the principal sources cited for some generalizations are individual interviews. See, for example, the argument that white women, including sisters, were using the civil rights movement primarily as means of "gaining credibility and fame in order to launch a national campaign for (white) women's rights and ordination." [p. 190; also 249] While this may have been the case for some, the evidence is not sufficient to make a persuasively comprehensive claim. Perhaps a more nuanced argument ultimately would have been more effective. There are a few glitches in the narrative that may be frustrating to some. The name of Cardinal Joseph...

A Conversation in Time: A New Concept for Creating Stream Graphs for Qualitative Data Visualization

Despite the affinity between qualitative research and non-text visual information, the range and application of creative visualizations used to give depth and dimension to qualitative research reports is limited. Thoughtfully designed visualizations, including those which emphasize color, have myriad advantages, including the ability to compress information into an easily understood summary. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new method, developed by the first author, suitable for capturing temporal aspects of conversations and word volume for presentation in an engaging visual way. This method uses the widely available software program Microsoft Excel, in conjunction with R, an open source/open access software environment for statistical computing and graphics, to transform typed transcripts from individual interview research into a specific type of volume graph known as a stream graph. This “how to” paper describes the process and illustrates results from interview research with eight U.S. public school teachers conducted to discuss mental health resources for students. The stream graph approach provides qualitative researchers another tool for visualizing the rich contextual data collected during interviews.

The role of patient and public involvement in rapid qualitative studies: Can we carry out meaningful PPIE with time pressures?

IntroductionRapid qualitative studies conducted with patient and public involvement can help promote policy-relevant and efficient research. There is a need to understand the experiences of researchers, patients, and members of the public to guide the development of good practice and to determine the extent to which rapid qualitative research can be implemented in PPIE projects.MethodsWe conducted a qualitative study to explore the experiences of research teams that carried out studies using rapid techniques with patient and public involvement. We carried out 26 interviews with researchers, coordinators, patients, carers, service users and members of the public.ResultsThis study identified needs which related to practical and time constraints. Rapid qualitative research tends to be limited to certain PPIE groups, and particular phases of the research process. Study findings are rarely discussed with PPIE members. The educational needs of rapid qualitative research were also identified. Researchers and PPIE members considered three main issues: a lack of training on patient involvement for researchers, rapid qualitative research training for PPIE members, and the diversity of PPIE members.ConclusionWe found that rapid researchers were able to involve patients and members of the public in research despite time pressures. The challenges identified in this study can be used to plan future training programmes for researchers and PPIE panel members and develop strategies to recruit PPIE panel members from a wide range of backgrounds.Public contributionThe research aim was to explore the experiences of those carrying out rapid qualitative studies with PPIE. As such, the participants of this study included patients, carers, service users and members of the public, who were interviewed individually. A lived experienced researcher and PPIE member for a hospital conducted the design, data collection and analysis of the study. The study brief was to interview researchers only. The lived-experience researcher initiated the inclusion of PPIE members as participants, therefore strengthening the study design. We shared the draft report with the PPIE participants for participant validation and to maintain a continuous feedback relationship. This led to addressing key issues in designing and involving PPIE members in more meaningful and equal ways. Whilst there is agreement on activities which centre on PPIE, there is no consensus on how to achieve these in high quality rapid qualitative studies.

Acquiring Scientific Process and Innovative Thinking Skills for Secondary School Sixth Grade Students through Digital Activities: An Action Research

This research aims to develop students' scientific process and innovative thinking skills using digital activities in distance and face-to-face education. A total of 12 sixth-grade students in a primary school participated in the study. The research was action research. The analysis was carried out in the "Transmission of Electricity" unit within the scope of the sixth-grade Science Course in 5 weeks and 20-course hours. The quantitative data were collected with "The scientific Process Skills Scale" and "Innovative Thinking Scale". Semi-structured interview forms, researcher, and student diaries were used to acquire qualitative data. The study's findings revealed that students showed improvement in gaining scientific processes and innovative thinking skills. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the science process skills test applied before and after the application in favor of the post-test. It was determined that students' use of scientific thinking skills increased during the experiments and activities. Moreover, students identified themselves with the work of scientists and improved their skills in conducting scientific processes. This situation shows that students can gain a scientific approach and innovative thinking skills with the active use of digital activities, especially in Science.

Questioning quotation: Writing about interview experiences without using quotes

AbstractIt is expected that we present participant quotes when writing up qualitative interview research. Yet doing so carries the risk of making our participants' lives seem too neat and can give the misplaced illusion that we have easily made sense of their situation. This paper explores other ways that we might work with interviews that are more sensitive to the complexities of interview encounters themselves. Through reflection on an interview with a rideshare driver that challenged my interpretive capacities, I explore other ways of writing up interviews that do not use quotes. The paper invites us to consider occasions where it might be more advantageous to produce a narrative description of what it was like to do the interview itself, or to write a narrative response to the interview.

The Effectiveness Analysis and Strategy Exploration of Homestay Industry on Rural Revitalization of China

The homestay industry has been developing rapidly in recent years. It has become the pillar industry of rural economics to some extent, and the concept of rural revitalization is becoming more and more popular in China. Therefore, it is necessary to fathom the current situations in the homestay industry and find problems and feasible refinements. This paper mainly adopts two research methods, interview and literature research. By reviewing findings and conclusions from the previous studies and interviewing homestay owners and employees, the author points out several problems of the existing homestay industry, including applying stale developing approaches mechanically, being incompatible with the local environment, and lacking in cooperation with local governments. Also, this article discusses the crux of these problems. It provides possible solutions to help homestay owners better attract target customers and expand the market. The expansion of the thriving homestay industry gives back incentives to the local economy.

Risks in the Role of Co-Creating the Future of Tourism in “Stigmatized” Destinations

The primary goal of this paper was to investigate the strength of the influence of different types of risk on the travelers’ intention to visit destinations in future, that are, prejudiced due to COVID-19, marked as “stigmatized”, “isolated”, or “risky destinations”. Field interview research was conducted at the “Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport” (Serbia). The results obtained by multiple regression analysis showed that all types of risks influenced the intention of travelers, with financial risk showing a more significant impact. Canonical discriminant analysis indicated that men were most afraid of human induced risk, service quality risk, natural disaster and COVID-19 risk, and they chose safer destinations. Among the women, the biggest fear was financial risk, socio-psychological risk, and food safety risk. Older respondents and those under the influence of external factors decided on safer destinations, while financial status did not play a significant role in predicting the choice of destination. The selection of the destination according to the degree of security was determined by the ordinal regression methodology. The entire research presents a certain novelty, because so far in the numerous studies on the topic of the negative consequences of COVID-19 on tourism, there has been no discussion of stigmatized or risky destinations that received that epithet, and were therefore negatively and unfairly marked in the minds of tourists for future visits.

The Possibility of Rights Claims-Making in Court: Looking Back on Twenty-Five Years of Social Rights Constitutionalism in South Africa

What factors influence citizens’ demand for law to protect social rights? We turn to the case of social rights in South Africa, just under three decades after the end of apartheid and the adoption of social rights constitutionalism, to examine the contours of rights claims-making in the courts. Drawing on original interview and survey research, we argue that above and beyond factors such as the accessibility of the courts and support of civil society, citizens must believe that rights claims-making through courts is possible. We find that these beliefs and the subsequent demand for justice are connected to people’s personal circumstances, sentiments as rights-holders, and trust in legal institutions, rendering the legitimacy of social rights constitutionalism beholden to people’s perception that the state actually delivers on these constitutional promises.

A postcolonial and pan‐African feminist reading of Zimbabwean women entrepreneurs

AbstractThis paper challenges the Eurocentric entrepreneurship narrative from postcolonial and pan‐African feminist perspectives. Based on interview research conducted with 24 Zimbabwean women entrepreneurs, we narrate their microstorias in order to expose the legacy of entrepreneurial colonialism and patriarchy in Africa. The microstorias reveal the colonial past as well as the patriarchal norms that disenfranchise women entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe. Yet, they also reveal their struggle, resilience, resistance and their ongoing fight to construct their own identities as entrepreneurs. The paper contributes to enhance and advance further postcolonial, decolonial and critical voices in entrepreneurship and organization studies by challenging the prevailing western discourse of entrepreneurship from the introduction of necroentrepreneurism; giving support to intersectional postcolonial and Pan‐African feminist perspectives that voice global South women entrepreneurship and, by decolonizing and decentring the theoretical debates on entrepreneurship and organization.

Animasyon Filmlerinin Çocuğun Epistemolojik Gelişimine Etkisi

This study aimed to explore the effects of information types in animated films on 6th-grade middle school students' learning skills. The study was carried out with 70 volunteer students who attended a public middle school in a village in Oğuzeli district of Gaziantep in the 2019-2020 academic year. The participant 6th-graders were from low socio-economic families. The study was designed in an embedded pattern, which was one of the mixed-method approaches. There were 24 students in the experimental group in which animated movies were watched, 23 students in the placebo group where children's films were watched, and 23 in the control group where Turkish lessons were taught without films. The qualitative data about student and researcher experiences were included in the experimental process. The quantitative data were analyzed using a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test and case study methodologies. The study adopted a 3x3 quasi-experimental design, including experimental, control, and placebo groups. The quantitative data were collected with an Information Types Assessment Tool (ITAT), developed by the researcher and verified by expert opinion. The qualitative data were collected with The Assessment Form for the Information Types (AFIT), a semi-structured interview form, and student and researcher diary. The experimental process lasted for 12 weeks, including the pre-test and post-tests. The follow-up test was conducted at the end of the experimental process and six weeks after the post-test. The research results indicated a significant difference in post-test scores of those who watched the animated movie. There was also a statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group in the post-tests. It was concluded that animated films had a meaningful and permanent effect on students' learning information types. Besides, following the data related to student diaries and interviews revealed that the experimental group students could permanently learn the types of information through animated films and enjoyed such lessons
