“…We found that a dramaturgical perspective drew attention to the interview as a performance rather than as merely a means of collecting participant accounts. Although this aspect of qualitative inquiry has been highlighted by some researchers (Lynch & Mannion, 2016;Nousiainen, 2015;Sallee & Harris, 2011), a drama-informed approach had the potential not only to sensitise the interviewer and data-analyst to what was happening. In addition, it could open up possible ways of conveying this phenomenon, for example through shifts in relationships between characters, or inner voices within characters, over the course of a performance.…”

The growing scope and influence of qualitative research methodologies has generated an interest in the use of art-informed approaches to disseminating research findings. In the present article, our aim is to present a methodological case study of the development of a theatre play based on a qualitative study of senior therapists' life and work. Lessons learned from this project are presented in relation to ethical issues, the process through which qualitative data are transformed into a theatre performance, and the distinctive perspective afforded by a dramaturgical approach. Implications for research practice are discussed.

“…My research method can thus be described as a walking methodology. Walking as research has gained traction in recent years, with scholars advocating for the use of ‘walking interviews’ in geography (Anderson, 2004) or education (Lynch and Mannion, 2016) and for the incorporation of walking in participatory arts‐based action and social research (O’Neill and Hubbard, 2010; O’Neill and McHugh, 2017). With regard to urban research, Pierce and Lawhon distinguish between the practice of walking as ‘a method of learning from interviewees’ and walking ‘as an object of research’ (Pierce and Lawhon, 2015, p. 656).…”

This article explores how the emerging tourism sector in Johannesburg is intertwined with current processes of urban regeneration and development. Using walking tours as a case study, I illustrate how tour operators navigate insecure urban spaces and contribute to their (re‐)development by performing (in)security, by offering ‘authentic’ experiences and by actively engaging in social and economic activities. I argue that walking tours promote a particular kind of urban development that aims to appeal to a new urban middle class and is in line with the vision pursued by big private investors and new urban entrepreneurs. Similar to other global gentrification processes, this vision draws on Western notions of hip urban lifestyles and aesthetics in order to foster an image of the city as pan‐African and cool. While making new spaces accessible, this approach to urban development also affects and threatens other inner city users, including African migrants living or working in precarious conditions. I contend that these side effects of the currently promoted urban regeneration have so far been overlooked. In order to create a social and sustainable urban development that supersedes apartheid‐era spatial segregation, these effects should be taken into account by the tourism sector, by private investors and policy makers alike.

“…For each of the 12 streets in the study, we surveyed 15 architecture students and 15 area users. Recognizing the benefits of the "walking interview" methodology [67][68][69], the questionnaire was conducted directly in the specific street space that was subjected to the study, in order to gain precise and holistic results from the survey, including the observer's peripheral perceptions (such as experience). The data processing method was the arithmetic mean, and the results obtained with the semantic differential scales served to define the objective criteria as the input data for the realization of the creative urban design process.…”

Creative Street Regeneration in the Context of Socio-Spatial Sustainability: A Case Study of a Traditional City Centre in Podgorica, Montenegro

The physical structure of Podgorica was predominantly developed with a traditional planning concept, whereby public open spaces of the city are as important as the city’s architectural objects. The focus of this paper is the perception of a traditional street in the context of sustainable urban regeneration. The aim of this study is to submit a proposal, through the Urban Design course at the Faculty of Architecture in Podgorica, for the physical regeneration of twelve traditional streets (eight street directions) that define the central core of Podgorica, known as Mirkova Varoš. These streets are the sites of social processes, interpreters of cultural and identity values of the society, and primary keepers of collective memory. It was detected that the attractiveness of the case study streets is weakening due to inadequate social and professional engagement in the processes of preservation and regeneration over time and also due to new users’ needs. Global requirements reflect the weakened role of public open spaces as places of social interaction, in favour of primarily closed shopping centres that are the new urban artefacts of the 21st century city. The first phase of this study is related to the theoretical interpretation of regeneration and the role of public space in the context of socio-spatial sustainability. The second phase of the study is directed toward estimating the perception of the current state of the street area in Mirova Varoš, as seen by the case study area users and architecture students, using (1) visual, (2) tactile, and (3) auditory criteria. The obtained results serve as a platform for concrete urban design proposals for sustainable street regeneration that will reflect a stronger socio-spatial interaction between (1) user–place, (2) the place–city system, and (3) local processes–global flows.
