Qualitative methodology is mostly based on a humanistic view, and humanistic
geographers have sought to challenge the mechanistic and objectivity approach that
characterizes positivism. According to Limb (2001), researcher and researched should be
central to the research process, stressing the need to understand the life world of
individuals and the taken for granted dimensions of experiences, the unquestioned
meanings and routine of safe and risk behaviour. I have considered that participant
observation interviews and focus group discussions and partly observations will enable
me to participate in finding out what local people believe to be risk taking behaviour and
potential courses of traffic accidents and as a team what should be done from the
grassroots perspective.
