Interviewing, Methodology, Socio-spatial research, Qualitative research, NarrativesAbstract
Data collection through interviews has been a current research practice in
architecture, urban design and planning, while the methodological discussions
on the relevance, objectives, conduction and specificities of interviews in these
disciplines are still rare. This paper aims at elucidating why and how qualitative
interviews can provide or generate socio-spatial data whose analysis and
interpretation may lead to valid knowledge. It begins by examining the roles
assigned to interview data, and their limits. Then it highlights various interview
emphases drawing on five types, consolidated in other areas (exploratory,
ethnographic, narrative, focused, and expert interview). The intention is not to
propose choices between them nor to create another type, but to open a range
of variations that may be combined, elaborated and expanded according to the
situation of each research.
