Using cognitive mapping to study a video on homelessness: example 2
The example is "Homeless Crisis on the Streets of California"
I have constructed the following cognitive map to depict the homeless crisis case as presented in the video.
The cognitive map comprises 4 groups of items. They are:
Group A: The subject under study
Item 8: go through the homeless experience
Item 9: Homelessness as a serious public issue
Group B: Directly contributive factors [which are inter-related]
Item 1: Poor mental health
Item 2: Drug addiction
Item 3: Low housing affordability
Item 4: Low-income of people
Item 5: Being an ex-prisoner
Item 6: Aging people
Item 7: Disadvantageous ethnic groups
Group C: Types of government support to address homelessness
Item 10: Local government support: medical care
Item 11: Local government support: rental subsidy
Item 12: Local government support: build low-income/ affordable housing
Group D: Environmental constraint
Item 13: Restrictive housing & zoning regulation
