Abstract

Using visual material in a participatory interview process allows for broadening communication with users and developing a deeper understanding of residents’ perspectives. Photographs taken by respondents as part of a research and future planning process provide the opportunity to see local spaces from users’ perspectives, thus allowing them to contribute to urban planning in a meaningful way. This chapter introduces the method of participatory photo interview, its use in social science, and its potential for urban and planning studies. It reviews literature on the topic, discusses opportunities for applying the method to spatial questions, and reviews the method’s strengths and weaknesses, illustrated by an example taken from urban studies. In conclusion, the author considers the feasibility of using the method online and highlights possible pitfalls and advantages.
