Residents' experiences in the aftermath of a HOPE VI revitalization project: A three-pronged, grounded visualization approach

摘要

This study advances the use of grounded visualization through a three-pronged approach that provides an enhanced and more nuanced understanding of public housing issues in Louisville, Kentucky, specifically those faced by residents displaced by HOPE VI revitalization projects. We introduce a rich method - "drive-by photography" - a process of acquiring photos and triggering visual memories, which produces more knowledge than qualitative methods alone. We present the salient themes that emerged from a wealth of qualitative data. Our approach helps bridge the gap between theoretical and applied geography and draws upon earlier work in grounded visualization and qualitative GIS. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
