    -Little evidence of indi development e.g. Canal Head
    -Stylised rather than true representation
  • Analysing representations > Advantages of qualitative data:
    • Art can reinforce as well as reflect place identity and uniqueness 
    • Many  layers of place identity can be represented at the same time 
    • Can compare with the past timescales 
  • Analysing representations > disadvantages of qualitative data:
    • Very difficult to compare places 
    • Based on opinions and choices made by those creating the source 
    • Some things are ignored, such as what is on the outside of photograph frame 
  • Analysing representations > advantages of quantitative data:
    • Data is reliable and factual 
    • Data can be compared across different places
    • Can be used to compare data across timescales as well as spatial scales 
  • Analysing representations > disadvantages of quantitative data:
    • Opinions are ignored 
    • Averages can often hide the outliers or misrepresent a pattern 
    • Geospatial data can be unreliable and hide patterns, particularly at the edge of spatial intervals
