{"c_title":"[M2097.001500] Qualitative Methodologies in Spatial Planning","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Master | Dept. of Environmental Planning","c_summary":"This course attempts to introduce diverse methodologies in qualitative research and to guide students to understand the advantages and limits of each method through discussion and practical exercises. In particular, the course deals with qualitative methods frequently utilized in the fields of urban study, planning and spatial studies. In so doing, the students will be able to apply those methods to their research projects. The course ultimately shows the way through which the students can learn not only specific techniques, but also ethical issues accompanied by each method, thereby, moving onto introspection on the whole processes of research. The students, therefore, can develop comprehensive understandings of qualitative research and methods including institutional requirements and attitudes as well as various techniques."}
