Residents' experiences in the aftermath of a HOPE VI revitalization project: A three-pronged, grounded visualization approach

Beyond anecdotal evidence: Do subsidized housing developments increase neighborhood crime?

“…However, our study was unable to control for all alternative explanations, given data limitations. For instance, HOPE VI redevelopments including LIHTC and HCV units may be another possible explanation for reducing neighborhood crime by replacing large deteriorated public housing complexes with fewer units and residential displacement (Hanlon, 2010;Walker & Hanchette, 2015). 6 This revitalization might reduce neighborhood crime through decreasing or displacing neighborhood population.…”

More than Fast Food: Development of a Story Map to Compare Adolescent Perceptions and Observations of Their Food Environments and Related Food Behaviors

“…The research team explored adolescent food environments, health behaviors, and demographic characteristics for a larger health-related study and then engaged a sub-population in focus groups and action research to provide further context. The methods are outlined based on a modified grounded-visualization, four-pronged approach resulting in a story map of information integrated from all stages of data collection and analyses [22,29]. All subjects gave their informed consent for inclusion before they participated in the study.…”

“…Walker and Hanchette used grounded visualization to establish a framework regarding neighborhood perspectives of a low-income population, displaced by local revitalization. They outlined this methodology in a three-pronged approach, which included mapping the studied neighborhood, conducting community member interviews, and using modified Photovoice methods termed “drive-by photography” [29].…”

“…The objective of this exploratory study was to better understand the perceptions of adolescents’ food environments, food behaviors, and choices using grounded visualization and story mapping. Similar to Walker and Hanchette’s three-pronged approach to grounded visualization, this paper used a four-pronged approach to advance scientific knowledge on how story mapping and use of qualitative GIS can be utilized to better understand the links between adolescent food environments and food choices [29].…”

“It Was Love in All the Buildings They Tore Down”: How Caregiving Grandmothers Create and Experience a Sense of Community in Chicago Public Housing

“…In a qualitative study of more than thirty tenants of Toronto's Regent Park—Canada's first and largest public housing estate—residents reported benefits and advantages of living in an area of concentrated poverty, including place attachment, a strong sense of community, access to dense networks of friendship and support, local amenities and conveniences, and services and agencies that suit their needs (August , p. 1317), and in another project “residents … valued local mechanisms of social control, [and] relied on peer and kin networks for childcare, friendship, and temporary shelter” (p. 1320). In a study of HOPE VI revitalization projects in Louisville, Walker and Hanchette () found that residents had experienced a sense of place even in demolished public housing communities.…”
