This article reflects on the findings of the author’s 2014 literature review, which focused on the concept of place and its implications for evaluation design. The author promotes a place-conscious approach to evaluation that recognises and honours features of the places where people live their lives. Downloads Download PDF Citation Dignan, M. (2017).
