Mixed Research Design in Cartography: A Combination of Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches

Original language description

The contribution deals with methodological issues connected with the evaluation of cartographic materials.

Contrary to strictly quantitative approaches, we propose a mixed research design, combining the quantitative and qualitative methods, because also the qualitative exploration of the corresponding cognitive strategies is in some cases necessary for an in-depth interpretation of the results. Proposed research design is demonstrated by a sample experiment concerning comparison and evaluation of suitability of two different cartographic approaches to avalanche hazard visualization. The quantitative analysis enables to detect potentialdifferences in the compared visualization methods in the sense of their effectiveness and efficiency, and the qualitative analysis of the eye-movement data might improve our understanding of the ways different cognitive strategies are app
