摘要

定性数据在系统动力学(SD)建模中发挥着重要作用,尤其是在模型概念化方面。在各种形式的数据中,来自利益相关者心理数据库的信息被认为是最重要的,可以通过利益相关者参与访谈的方式获取。不过,需要有正式、系统的访谈和数据分析过程。现有的系统分析定性数据的方法都是基于基础理论方法。在本研究中,我们引入了一种编码方法,这种方法是根据主题分析、显著性分析(主题分析的延伸)框架和案例研究方法的原则以及现有方法的主要优势制定的。这种替代或制定的方法侧重于:(i) 对来自所有利益相关者群体的数据进行编码;(ii) 从利益相关者的因果归因中建立因果关系,并将因果关系转化为因果关系图;(iii) 利用数据源参考表和软件建立并保持因果关系图与数据源之间的紧密联系。然后,我们展示了编码方法在尼日利亚道路基础设施项目成本绩效研究中的应用,以分析从 16 个半结构化访谈中收集的定性数据。

Adopting qualitative data in conceptual system dynamic modelling
Qualitative data plays an important role in system dynamics (SD) modelling, particularly in model conceptualization. Among the various forms of data, information from the mental database of stakeholders is considered the most important which can be accessed through stakeholder engagement using interviews. However, formal, and systematic process of interview and data analysis is required. Existing approaches used for systematically analysing qualitative data were based on grounded theory approach. In this study, we introduced a coding approach that is formulated based on the principles of thematic analysis, saliency analysis (an extension of thematic analysis) framework and case study approach, and key strengths of existing methods. This alternative or formulated approach is focused on (i) coding the data from all stakeholder groups, (ii) establishing causal relationships from causal attributions of stakeholders and transform the causal relationships into causal maps and (iii) establishing and maintain strong links between causal maps and data source using data source reference table and software. We then demonstrate an application of the coding approach in a study about cost performance of road infrastructure projects in Nigeria to analyse qualitative data collected from 16 semi-structured interviews.
