Photovoice aims to enable people to record and reflect their community’s strengths and challenges, to encourage group dialogue and knowledge about important issues through group discussions and to inform policymaking. While primarily utilized in the health field, an emerging area of focus is to use photovoice in an emergency management or climate change context. Through work conducted in two rural areas recovering from natural disasters in Ontario, Canada, this research, focused on critical infrastructure disaster recovery, underscores the value of undertaking a comparative case-study approach and offers a detailed reporting of the fieldwork methodology. We argue that photovoice has the potential to solicit poorly understood rural and Indigenous community member perspectives, thereby augmenting locally relevant, place-based information and, ideally, empowering voices that are often under-represented in municipal and provincial decision-making processes. We offer lessons learned related to the project’s processes and outcomes, and outline the applicability of photovoice for emergency management and climate change research.

ABSTRAK Pembangunan di Sarawak semakin rancak setelah penggabungan dengan Tanah Melayu dan Sabah pada tahun 1963. Namun begitu, selepas lima dekad bergabung membentuk negara Malaysia, pembangunan di Sarawak tidak seimbang. Terdapat jurang yang agak luas di antara bandar dengan luar bandar, terutamanya di kawasan pedalaman. Pembangunan fizikal dan sosioekonomi di kawasan pedalaman tidak menyerlah, sama ada kurang berjaya atau tidak sampai. Kajian ini akan membincangkan status pembangunan masyarakat Iban yang terletak di pedalaman Sarawak dan meneroka aspirasi pembangunan menurut pandangan lokal. Kajian akan menggunakan teori pembangunan yang dipelopori oleh Sen (1999), iaitu pembangunan sebagai kebebasan untuk menganalisis isu, kebebasan dan aspirasi pembangunan masyarakat Iban tersebut dengan menggunakan pendekatan kajian kes di tiga rumah panjang untuk mengumpul data kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa wujud jurang yang agak luas antara orang Iban di rumah panjang dengan masyarakat bandar. Antaranya ialah ketinggalan dari segi pembangunan infrastruktur seperti kemudahan bekalan elektrik 24 jam dan jalan raya berturap. Isu-isu penting yang turut ditemui ialah tentang aspirasi pembangunan mereka dan penerokaan tanah adat masyarakat Iban di kawasan kajian.   ABSTRACT Sarawak has developed significantly since its decision to unite with Malaya and Sabah in 1963. However, after five decades since forming Malaysia, the development of Sarawak appears to be imbalanced with huge gaps in development between urban and rural areas, especially among communities in the interior. The physical and socioeconomic conditions in these rural and interior areas are underdeveloped, as they are either less successful or have not been seen to have achieved their potential. This paper will discuss findings from our research on development aspirations among the Iban in the interior of Sarawak. This study applies the Development Theory by Sen (1999) which proposes development as a means of freedom to analyse the development aspirations of the Iban using the case study approach in three longhouses in the interior. The research findings document the wide gap between Iban communities in the longhouses and those living in cities. These gaps include exclusion from infrastructure development such as having access to 24-hour electricity supply and the lack of paved roads. Fundamental issues discussed are those regarding their aspirations for development and exploration of customary land in the areas of research.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.

Self-stigma experienced by people who experience schizophrenia has influence on reduced self-esteem, on powerlessness, the weakening of hope, and a motivation towards recovery. The aim of this study is to explain the efforts of people suffering schizophrenia to manage their self-stigma through self-control, using a case study approach. Based on the purposive sampling technique, five people with schizophrenia were selected as the cases to be studied. Data collection techniques utilized in-depth interviews, observation, and documentary studies. The analysis of the study data employed the stages of data reduction, data display, and data verification. Improvement in study quality employed the triangulation of data sources by checking the data to determine its consistency. The results of this study indicate that people with schizophrenia who have the ability to self-control can overcome self-stigma through changes in the manner of viewing themselves, self-training through activities, having endurance, having an honest approach, being able to explain schizophrenia from a positive viewpoint, having initiative, and having a positive attitude and the courage to face challenges.
