Create a flyer for "Qualitative GIS"

A brilliant companion for navigating the emerging field of qualitative GIS. The book guides readers through aspects of performing mixed-method research using GIS, including methodological framework, techniques, geovisualisation, and why it is necessary for research.

This book provides an alternative approach for GIS studies. The traditional quantitative and positivist frame in geoinformatic and GIS does not fully cover every possibilitie of GIS. Qualitative GIS methodology provides softer frame for geographical spatial analysis, data collection and visualization.

Softer qualitative approaches are essential when surveying values, experiences and feelings of citizens or groups. Therefore, this book provides valuable input to broad field of GIS methodology.

I made a mistake in the uploading the review

The 27 chapters of the book allow a two way exploration of the challenging issues related to GIS and Society. The longitudinal path give an account how GIS in fifty years moved from the computational management of geographic information performed into specialized scientific, business, military institutions to a widespread into public and private sectors and civil society, especially in the last two decades. Then the cross sectional path allows an exploration of the interconnected issues related to the role of geographic information and technologies in society.

The book edited by Megan Cope and Sarah Elwood presents ten contributions investigating a cluster of issues related to qualitative GIS. From the title a mixed methods approach constitutes the key thread for the exploration of topics and relations. Despite its quantitative origin embedded in some fixities GIS is permeable by qualitative data and qualitative interpretations facilitating the integration of different social actors perspective in a negotiation of alternative truths.

An excellent resource for our research. Well researched, practical and crosses different solutions and methods for implementing GIS projects with a qualitative approach. This book is useful for supporting several existing projects using GIS, particularly in our field of natural resource management and sustainability. The text will support building a research constituency for our postgraduate and undergraduate students around innovative use of GIS platforms.

An excellent resource for teaching, but essentially supplementary material for interested students. Well researched, practical and crosses different solutions and methods for implementing GIS projects with a qualitative approach. This book is useful for existing projects and in building a research constituency for our undergraduate students.

Great book that brings together ideas and research that explores the relatively new area of qualitative GIS. I will recommend this for our Masters Research Methods students.

The book is too much a collection of articles in order to help my students to use quantitative and qualitative geo data in their projects

This book is a wonderful resource for any researcher who wishes to engage in including geographical data into their research agenda.

The book is packed full of very good articles on the "how to" of conducting geographical research and contains a wide variety of tips for analyzing GIS data.

I am on sabbatical next year but would definitely like to consider this book for adoption in my qualitative course the following year!

Great that a handy text on this emerging yet still dynamic area of GIS is now available. Students will benefit from the synthesis it provides.

The book is the first collection of papers about qualitative GIS. While there are several special issues of journals and some papers that are spread across the literature, it is very useful to have one source that can be used as a starting point. As there are more and more students who are interested in integration of text, images and video with GIS, this book is helpful for postgraduate students.

It is about the only book dealing with this topic! The papers selected for this book are relevant for some discussions in my seminar class.
