- Summary:
- This case, a pilot study conducted in 2013, outlines the considerable challenges to conducting qualitative citizen science. While it concludes that it is too early to tell how useful the methodology may be when it comes to scaling-up experiential knowledge research, it does outline steps that can be taken so that the approach has the best possible chance of success in the future. The study trained citizen scientists to conduct qualitative semi-structured interviews so that they could gather local knowledge of climate change and adaptation strategies in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
