Mapping space

Mapping space can help a person to see their field site more closely and pay attention to details. The book describes how effective mapping can be for researching a subculture. It can be very helpful to observe the place your subculture uses and do it in a detailed way. Mapping out the place of study forces the observer to pay attention to detail as close as possible. When the process of mapping is done it can help the observer to better understand their subculture and how they use their space. The map will also help the observer in writing a well written and detailed paper later.
