M: Well, I think you can ask them that
– we don’t
need to research it ourselves.
K:
Yes, you’re right. But I did read a newspaper
report that said the site was under threat of
development
– you know somebody wants to build
housing there.
M: Really
– now that is interesting. I could look to
see whether anyone’s applied for permission to the
local council’s Planning Office?
K: Exactly.
M:
OK, great … Right then. I guess we need to ask
somebody if it’s OK before we go over there and
start talking to people.
K: Yes
– the land belongs to the city council, and
somebody there manages it
. I’ll give them a call.
M: Great. He should be able to give you a plan of
the site too.
K: Yes, and maybe some indication of who
amongst the gardeners it might be best to approach
– like who’s been there the longest or whatever.
K: Yeah, OK. It might be good to have an
introduction rather than just approaching them out
of the blue, actually.
F: I agree. Then I thought I ought to check out any
other research there’s been on the subject.
K: Yes
– that’s true. We don’t want to do stuff that’s
already been done!
M: Have you got any idea what we should actually
focus on in our research?
K:
Well, I think it’s a choice between a survey
about use
– how many people use the land, how
often they go, how productive it is, you know
– or
something more attitudinal. Like, what motivates
people to do it, what they get out of it, what
difference it makes to their lives.
M:
Yes, I like that. Let’s go with that. But what
about issues, you know, disputes between the
gardeners, difficulties they have with the
management
– things like that?
K:
Well, I don’t think we can make that our aim –
there may not be any problems.
M:
Yes, you’re right. Let’s stick to the attitudinal
focus then.
K: OK.
M: I think the next stage is to do some preliminary
work
– find out if we can get permission, see if
anyone will talk to us, whether there are any
specific issues we could focus on.
K:
Shouldn’t we consult our tutor before doing all
that
– get the go-ahead for the topic in principle?
M: Well, she said specifically not to do that
– to go
to her once we had a definite proposal
– with the
details in place.
K:
OK. Let’s do that then. I think that’s going to be
the hardest part.
M: What, writing the proposal?
K: No, finding what level of detail to go into. You
know, we could interview lots of people and try and
find their overall views
– or just pick a few and really
do in-depth interviews with lots of questions.
M:
I think you’re right. But I think once we start,
we’ll see what’s going to work best with this
