Metodology | The longitudinal impact analysis of the Liverpool ECoC as delivered by a wide range of stakeholders, covered: - retrospectively Liverpool’s pre-bid period (2000), - bidding and nomination stages (2002-2003), - event lead-up (2004-2007), -event year itself (2008) - and beyond (early 2009). Multidisciplinary analysis combined: – The identification and mapping over time of a series of indicators (clustered around the five themes of the research programme) – In-depth interviews with key stakeholders about the ideas and development of the Liverpool ECoC; from public, private and community sectors and from policy, culture and regeneration backgrounds – A media impact analysis from 1996-2009 – Local area studies which focused on the experiences of local people in diverse parts of the city from 2006-2008 – The development of in-depth studies, both quantitative and qualitative, in response to themes and issues that arose during the research programme – The regular assessment of secondary data collected by partners and other agencies, as well as data from external sources in the region and the rest of the UK. - Multidisciplinary study |
