“…Further, this method has been utilized with foster youth and alumni as primary units of analysis (e.g., Miller & Owens, 2014). Additionally, CM is useful in analyzing differences in priorities among groups of participants (e.g., Miller & Jones, 2015). These characteristics of the methodology make it suitable for answering the aforementioned research questions.…”

Despite the promise of mobile smartphone applications (apps) in addressing challenges faced by foster youth transitioning to adulthood, the literature is devoid of conceptual frameworks for the development of these apps. This article documents the process of using Concept Mapping to delineate a conceptual framework germane to developing an app to assist youth transitioning from foster care to adulthood, and explore differences in development priority areas among participants. Participant data was collected via qualitative brainstorming sessions, and analyzed using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. This article explicates findings from this study, discusses implications, and identifies apposite areas for future research. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…In order to achieve the first aim participants were prompted to reflect on the meanings and values they attach to the town as well as the reasons why they deem them important, and to visually represent their shared narratives. This was achieved through a creative exercise called 'Silent Conversation' (Pearson et al, 2018), loosely based on the more established Concept Mappinga participatory research approach that aims to produce a visual representation of the relationship patterns among qualitative data (Miller & Jones, 2015). Through this method, participants collectively cluster their inputs into a concept map.…”

Place branding refers to the creation of value in space by reinforcing and representing place assets in a cohesive manner, as a narrative image of the place itself. Such narratives of place are important in planning as well, when developing (strategic) spatial strategies. We argue that place branding and planning can be bridged, through cultural narratives built on local knowledge and the perceived meanings and images of place. However, there is a knowledge gap on how to build cultural narratives in multistakeholder processes. While participatory planning methods are increasingly applied, we argue for a greater role of art and artsbased methods. Accordingly, our key question is, how can artsbased methods support the creation of cultural narratives for place branding and planning? To address this question, we outline an approach based on the principles of Appreciative Inquiry. The approach is illustrated through a case study in Finland where we initiated a process of co-creation of place-based narratives. We analyse how the process was organized and facilitated, and what the challenges and lessons learnt were. The paper ends with a discussion, and draws conclusions on the relevance of arts-based methods for the wider debate on place branding and spatial planning.

“…In concept mapping, participants are involved in both the generation of ideas and their analysis. For example, the method has been used in child welfare to explore public perceptions of citizen review mechanisms (Miller & Jones, 2015) and knowledge of kinship care (Lianekhammy et al, 2019). In foster care, caregiver needs (Miller & Donohue-Dioh, 2017;Van Holen et al, 2019a) and successes (Van Holen et al, 2019b) are the subjects of previous concept mapping studies.…”

Peer volunteers provide valuable support to foster parents. However, there has been limited research on what they consider to be valuable preparation for the role. In the present study, they were asked: "What is essential training for peer support volunteers to receive before starting?". Fifteen participants grouped 41 different responses that were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analyses. The resulting concepts included: (a) self-care, (b) effective use of self, (c) policies and procedures, (d) finding information and (e) how to address common challenges.
