Listening to locals? Question-oriented approach in Field Lab Amsterdam East
A question-oriented approach is a popular and, in many cases, recommended modus operandi these days. However, it can be misleading, and unless properly understood and put into practice it may seem a mere semantic trick.15 It should therefore be evident whose question is the focus of attention. Taking residents’ wishes as a starting point calls for a more precise definition of the target group. Residents come in all sorts with many different views and needs. In the context of a fieldlab, identifying bottom-up issues from the start is a difficult assignment. Nowadays a question- oriented approach is widespread in dealing with all kinds of local issues. No local proposal is accepted without a prior ‘bottom-up’ consultation of residents regarding their needs and ideas. On paper, a question-oriented approach may appear feasible, but in practice it proves to be anything but. Starting with the question: Who is the requesting party? The residents only or could the researcher, the city council and the financer also have a say in the selection of the issue and how it will be handled? This paper describes how the question-oriented approach was applied in an area based fieldlab developed by the Amsterdam University of Applied (AUAS) in a neighbourhood in Amsterdam East.
