Capacity, scale and place: pragmatic lessons for doing community‐based research in the rural setting

Sean Markey, Greg Halseth, Don Manson · 2009 · Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes

Summary. Community-based research offers a flexible, context-sensitive approach suited to rural areas experiencing rapid economic and social change. Drawing on experience in northern British Columbia, the authors identify practical lessons for conducting community-based research effectively, organizing insights around three key stages: preparing for community engagement, conducting fieldwork, and post-fieldwork activities. They address gaps in methodological guidance and advocate for better training in community-based research methods for rural contexts.
