Methodological demonstration by André Mano
Taking children as active social agents whose insights are relevant when it comes to urban planning, the book chapter describes a case study in the city of Enschede (the Netherlands), where a qualitative GIS approach (qGIS) was used to enable children to register their perceptions of the urban environment. The perceptions of a group of twenty-eight children aged 10-17 years are quantified and mapped.
