How to write Literature Review using Qualitative Analysis Technique
Many times trying to write a literature review that synthesizes current and past scholarship seems like trying to eat soup with a knife. Most academic writing is terrible, so if you think the problem is you, it's not.
One way to create order out of chaos and overcome the problem of bad writing in journals is to use the qualitative analysis technique of edge coding.
Whether in print or digital form, place notes along the edges of the text as you read. Use key words that represent major ideas or themes being discussed.
Interact with the text and write your thoughts right there in the margin.
You can then organize your coded notes using Excel and create concept maps that show relatedness of concepts with scholars and even show the existence of communities of scholars via concepts they all use.
This method can be tedious, I know, but you really do begin to construct a coherent picture of the domain of scholarship under question by using this method.
An added benefit is that sometimes you can even use the concept map or (a portion of) the Excel table in your write up. Give it a try!

ABSTRACT
|
Appropriate housing for the aging American
population is a timely topic of research in both housing and gerontology.
Universal design is an innovation in housing design that is gaining interest
from both industries.
This research examines the effectiveness of
universal design features that have been identified by experts in the field of
aging, housing, and universal design as important to resident and caregiver
participants of the ECHO demonstration housing program.
A national survey was conducted that included
all available current residents of the HUD ECHO houses and their caregivers.
The relationships between age, effectiveness of universal design features,
health and dependency were investigated. Quantitative results include some confounding
relationships, and plausible explanations.
A qualitative analysis, based on on-site and
telephone interviews, and tape recordings of those interviews with residents
and their caregivers, as well as architectural drawings, observation, and
photographs of the ECHO houses provided additional details. The qualitative approach
indicated that many of the universal design features recommended by the
experts consulted satisfactorily met the needs of residents and/or their
caregivers. It also revealed, however that some features were not considered
important by residents and caregivers, some were not reported as present
(when they were documented by the researcher as present), and at least one
HUD-specified universal design feature was not provided by ECHO houses.
Another aspect of the qualitative perspective
addressed the health of the residents. Health characteristics are presented
in the context of their effect on dependency. Phase II dependency task
information was compared to that reported in phase I, and improvement and
decline was noted. Conclusions, and Implications that elaborate on findings,
and future research is recommended for taking this research to the next
level.

ABSTRACT
|
This paper will using regional the Greater
Mekong Sub-Region case studies, highlight gaps in current regional heritage
practices in respect of : heritage and development of heritage trails,
revenue, the anchoring of tourist revenue, and development of the public consciousness
of history. This paper describes cultural heritage tourism, according to the
travelling to experience places and activities that authentically represent
stories and people of the past and present. Inclusive Tourism is a global
movement to ensure full social participation of all people with disabilities
in travel, citizenships and cultural contribution and in the process, to
assure the same for everyone else, writes Dr. Scott Rains. The discussion
issues related accessible tourism to cultural heritage places to identify
existing barriers as well as assessment and solutions approach to promote
cultural-heritage-inclusive tourism and barrier free design. More important
access increases the potential to enable people with disabilities to take
part in almost any area of life, and to be aware of the impact and business opportunities
that accessible tourism introduces. The forthcoming process of demographic
ageing will lead to a growing number of tourists with needs for more accessibility
and higher service quality also in tourism.
The result of this study will provide guidelines
on better practices of community engagement, community participation and
community resource development in respect of the culturally appropriate
management of heritage. In conclusion, good design improves accessibility for
all users who may benefit from tourism services without discriminating factors.
To ensure balanced recognition of the users’ interest, conservation planning
is deemed necessary to eliminate disabled access. Access for all heritage
areas is provided equally to all types of user who want to enjoy and
appreciate leisure in a friendly environment depicting distinctive traditions.
Universal design which offers equal accessibility to all types of user aims
to upgrade heritage places and raise awareness on the significance and value
of cultural heritage as well as inclusive travel and leisure holidays at an
international level.
