Abstract: Spatial analyses map physical, geographic, demographic and functional characteristics of a place, while socio-cultural analyses investigate local social constructs. While the first might lack information on social, cultural and personal perceptions, the latter rarely relates needs or perceptions to the physical environment. This paper discusses the theoretical and methodological aspects of using subjective maps to collect user input and its value for further development. Map-based semi-structured interviews with local users were conducted in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Stavanger, Norway. The maps geo-reference points of strength, weakness, paths, barriers and representative space. The results were coherent with findings from other methods.
