            Ethnographic Pilot Study – Barriers in Interactions between Romas and the Majority


            Abstrakt
            This article discusses the importance of a pilot study when undertaking qualitative inquir

            fundamental characteristics of qualitative research is the emerging design. This means tha
            question(s) may be adjusted, the methodology of data collection modified and the place cha
            entering the field. The paper presents my own experience with the transformation of a rese

            during the research process. The subject of my research was the interaction between the Ro
            majority population, which I decided to investigate through the ethnographic approach. The

            preliminary analysis was conducted. However, after entering the field, I discovered that t
            agenda was in conflict with the nature of the environment. It was necessary to find a new 
            which took me a considerable amount of time. The question is whether it could be avoided b

            implementation. In order to assess the role of this method, I created a virtual pilot stud
            in detail, the specific procedures used and their utilization. Although my field activitie
            of parameters of the pilot study, the main point was not implemented – a fundamental chang

            design. The purpose of this paper is to initiate a discussion on the usefulness of a pilot
            ethnography. It could be interesting especially for beginning researchers, and / or for th
            do research in hard-to-reach groups. The text itself is written in reflexive form. It also

            the findings related to the theoretical grasp of the Roma identity and identification.
