La recherche en foresterie urbaine au moyen de mé- thodes de recherches quantitatives a permis aux chercheurs et aux politiciens de prendre des décisions adéquates. L’emploi de mé- thodes de recherches qualitatives pourrait permettre d’accroître notre compréhension et notre connaissance de la forêt urbaine. Cet article décrit la nature de la recherche qualitative, pourquoi elle ne s’est pas avérée être une méthode commune de recherche en fores- terie urbaine et illustre quel rôle cela pourrait avoir dans la recherche en foresterie urbaine. Cet article conclut que la recherche qualitative pourrait permettre d’enrichir notre connaissance et notre com- préhension de la forêt urbaine. Zusammenfassung. Urbane Forstforschung hat Forscher und Politiker durch die Verwendung von quantitativen Methoden in die Lage versetzt, fundierte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Die Verwen- dung von qualitativen Methoden könnte unser Verständnis und Wis- sen über urbane Wälder vergrößern. Diese Studie beschreibt die Natur von qualitativer Forschung, beschreibt, warum es hier keine gewöhnliche Methode ist und illustriert, welche Rolle sie in urbaner Forstforschung haben kann. Wir kamen zu dem Schluss, dass quali- tative Forschung unser Verständnis und Wissen an dieser Stelle bereichern kann. Resumen. La investigación en dasonomía urbana empleando métodos cuantitativos ha habilitado a los investigadores y tomadores de decisiones para realizar decisiones informadas. Sin embargo, el empleo de métodos de investigación cualitativos también puede in- crementar nuestro entendimiento y conocimiento del bosque urbano. Este reporte indica la naturaleza de la investigación cualitativa, de- scribe por qué no ha sido un método común de investigación en dasonomía urbana e ilustra qué papel puede tener en la investigación en dasonomía urbana. Se concluye que la investigación cualitativa va a enriquecer nuestro conocimiento y entendimiento del bosque urbano. ©2007 International Society of Arboriculture
