“…Kusenbach (2003) proposed the method as a variation on ethnographic participant observation. Akin to the participatory walking interview used by Clark and Emmel (2010), they fit into a widening range of walking based interview types (Evans and Jones 2011) and sensory methods (Pink 2015). The method has not to the author's knowledge been used in studies of informal learning to date, and only Holton and Riley (2014) seem to have used it before in the educational context.…”

Changes in pedagogy to emphasise independent study and group work have increased the need for informal learning spaces on campuses. University libraries have been quick to respond to this need, partly because of the decline in book lending and partly because of technology enablers. Furthermore, new types of buildings that combine many types of facility, including libraries and informal learning spaces, are being built. This research aimed to explore students' experience of such informal learning spaces, through focus groups and walk with interviews. It was found that the creation of different types of learning atmosphere, should be understood as a multi-sensory experience, and actively constructed by learners themselves. Informal learning spaces are important destinations for students, who have favourite places to study, where they often work alongside companions and find motivation to work in the presence of others.

“…Las entrevistas se hicieron a actores claves de los sectores público y privado y de la sociedad civil, y se orientaron a identificar y profundizar las problemáticas político-administrativas asociadas a las dinámicas territoriales en el contexto actual de transformación, ante lo cual surgió la problemática de las atribuciones del gobierno local frente a la escala de las ciudades intermedias en cuestión. Las entrevistas se complementaron con caminatas por las ciudades con los actores claves, tal como recientes desarrollos metodológicos lo han sugerido (Anderson, 2004;Evans & Jones, 2011), las que permitieron situar espacialmente los procesos de intermediación en el paisaje local.…”

“…En ese contexto, si bien se opta por una metodología mixta, es la aproximación cualitativa la que guía el trabajo. Además de un extenso trabajo de entrevistas y observación participante, se emplearon metodologías móviles para comprender cómo los discursos explicaban prácticas espaciales (Evans & Jones, 2011;Anderson, 2004), lo que fue complementado con un análisis de conmutaciones funcionales (Lufin & Atienza, 2015).…”

issn impreso 0250-7161 | issn digital resumen | Las ciudades intermedias se caracterizan por una gran cantidad de interacciones con su territorio circundante y con otras ciudades, lo que implica un desafío para sus gobiernos locales. El presente trabajo aborda estos desafíos desde los procesos de intermediación y en las distintas escalas que generan las prácticas espaciales. La metodología empleada es mixta, con el trabajo estructurado a partir del enfoque cualitativo de metodologías móviles, complementado con un análisis de conmutaciones intercomunales. Los resultados dan cuenta de que en los principales nodos de intermediación de la región, los gobiernos locales enfrentan importantes desafíos derivados de los procesos mismos de intermediación, específicamente en materia de vialidad y crecimiento urbano, a la vez que subestiman la relevancia de las dinámicas interculturales en el territorio. Se concluye que abordar estos elementos es fundamental para comprender los procesos escalares que enfrentan los gobiernos locales, para así poder planificar en dirección a la sustentabilidad local.palabras clave | gobierno local, ciudades intermedias, sustentabilidad urbana.

“…At present, many researchers interested in behavioural research (including tourist) turn to relatively innovative techniques of conducting an interview during the respondents' trips. The methods called 'walking interviews' include both recording the respondents' comments while they are visiting the city (and at the same time recording paths), and a technique in which the researcher follows the respondent or travels with him/her, and pausing their tourism activity with a conversationinterview at key places (WYLIE 2005, MOLES 2008, EVANS & JONES 2011. Refraining from comments concerning the many advantages and disadvantages of 'walking interviews' (due to the editor's restrictions on space), we may just point out their one major weakness, i.e.…”

This article fits into the category of a conceptual-discursive article. Its aim is to discuss the application of 'mixed methods' in research concerning tourist behaviours, especially in the city. The article consists of a part presenting a set of methods used to study such behaviours and a part discussing the results concerning the application of a proposed research procedure algorithm. The authors take a behavioural approach and propose using a quasi-experimental method combined with techniques of mobility monitoring (GPS), and the qualitative methods used in sociological research. The article presents a discussion concerning 'mixed methods', discusses a proposed algorithm of research procedure and presents conclusions following the joint application of these methods.
