Focus group
Short description
In a focus group a specific issue is discussed in a goal-directed way, while group-dynamic processes are encouraged: differing perceptions collide, one has to justify one’s point of view; spontaneous emotional reactions are common.
Process
In a focus group 8 to 15 persons take part in a chaired discussion on a predetermined topic; this can lead to a cohesive “group view” developing.
Help in addressing cultural/ethical aspects in planning of secure public spaces
The method is particularly suitable for:
- identifying motives for a particular type of behavior and revealing areas of difficulty;
- obtaining information and ideas with which to handle a particular issue in the process of planning urban spaces.
Further information
