Qualitative geography

Qualitative geography is a way of studying the world around us by using words and stories instead of just numbers and graphs. When we explore the world through qualitative geography, we try to understand people's experiences, feelings, and ideas about a place.

Imagine you are trying to learn about a new neighborhood where you want to move. You could look at a map and see how many houses there are or how many parks. This would give you some information but wouldn't tell you much about the people who live there.

With qualitative geography, you might talk with people who live in the neighborhood and ask them about their favorite things to do there, where they like to eat, and what they like about the neighborhood. You might also ask questions about how safe they feel or if they have any concerns.

All of these stories, opinions, and experiences would be qualitative data that you could use to learn more about the neighborhood. By using this kind of data, you might get a better understanding of what it would be like to live there.
