Studying people’s perceptions of and feelings concern-ing places and exploring how they experience different
places comprises sensitive and emotional topics. Sensitive
topics cannot be explored by conducting quantitative
methods such as structured questionnaires because to
expose how people’s lived experiences relate to places we
need insight into people’s personal lives. Instead, an appro-priate research method is the in-depth interview method of
qualitative methodology, by which relevant information is
acquired through negotiating with informants (Limb &
Dwyer 2001, Moss 2002).
