Methodology of analysis:

After obtaining the interview data, it was synthesized and subsequently summarized to be used in analysis, which involved stages of skimming, reading and interpreting the interview data. During this stage, the information and data were organized into categories that are connected to the main research question, facilitating the emergence of themes and meanings pertaining to the research goals. Following this, data analysis was done using the qualitative data analysis software Atlas.Ti. Firstly, an inductive approach was undertaken by identifying and setting-aside codes within the dataset as we examined it. The reason for this choice is so that a ‘blank slate’ type strategy could be applied, less uninfluenced by theory. Subsequently, another round of interpreting the codes and central statements was done, connecting them to adaptive governance theory in order to better contextualize them for the purpose of this research paper.
