Output

This Section contains output. This covers, inter alia, texts, survey data, qualitative and quantitative data, and visual/cartographic data. Raw data as well as organized and analyzed data are included.

Most of the output is available for online browsing and downloading here, and also in Section Resources. The exception to this are internal project documents that are available only in the password-protected Staff work area. For information on the methodology utilized, including questionnaires and supporting documentation, see Section Methodology.

The output is organized in the following categories:

  1. Data and databases,
  2. Cartography,
  3. Documents,
  4. Interactions and connections, and
  5. TFT Newsletter.

Notes on the categories: (1) 'Data and databases' contains qualitative and quantitative data collected through surveys and participatory observation, and are presented partly in the form of databases, (2) 'Cartography' covers maps produced by and for the project, including satellite imagery, (3) 'Documents' refers to, inter alia, memos, papers, presentations and reports. The documents utilize and present both raw data and analyzed data, and include both popularized and scientific works, (4) 'Interactions and connections' is akin to the focus and content of Section Processes, and can be understood as the outcome of these processes (that is, the interactions in question are 'soft data' and constitutes evidence of tangible - and in some cases not-so-tangible - links between key stakeholders, as well as joint activities by stakeholders that supports and gels with the intentions and goals of the TFT), and (5) the TFT Newsletter.
