It is an interesting moment to write Progress in Human Geography’s first report on qualitative methods.

The logic of technical governance goes as follows: the knowledge of society can be obtained by the state via technology, and thus social problems are identified and solutions are found.

All causal statements based on historical data — both in qualitative and quantitative social research — rely on counterfactuals. In quantitative research, scholars attempt to arrive at valid counterfactuals by emulating an experimental design. However, because of treatments that are impossible to manipulate and the non-random assignment of data to...

Although the sense of many scientists and people is that the placement of monuments at "suitable" points is the key for becoming familiar to people, this paper is going to support that the personal features of the observers determine their familiarity with the monumental elements rather than the placement. Thus, goal of this research is to examine...
