Using cognitive mapping to study a case study [related to home ownership]: example 3
The case study relies on the video of "Building nightmare: Desperate property owners losing life savings to dodgy builders".
The following cognitive map is drawn by me to illustrate how to use cognitive mapping to study a topic in Housing Studies, notably for conducting a housing research project in the project orientation phase:
The cognitive map has 4 groups of items:
Group A: External factors
Group A1: Government role on home purchase support & regulation {items 10 and 11 also draw on information from another related video; they are only hinted at in this video}
Item 10: Irresponsible government supervision of home-builders
Item 11: Poor government response to home owners' complaints
Group A2: Insurance support
Item 12: Low insurance coverage of home problems
Group B: "Defective" home purchase decision-making process
Item 9: Insufficient research on the home purchase decision
Group C: The subject of investigation: The home-ownership nightmare with a defective house
Item 8: Purchase a highly defective house built by a dodgy builder
Item 1: Experience a home-ownership nightmare
Group D: Purchase outcomes of a defective house
Item 2: Difficult to own a house again (e.g. too expensive to rebuild the defective house)
Item 3: Become homeless
Item 4: Lose lifetime saving
Item 5: Lose job employment
Item 6: Suffer mental depression
Item 7: Unable to look after oneself
