Municipalities are at the lowest level of Government, and it is where the actual implementation of tourism policies should be taking place. The South African government introduced different policy initiatives to develop tourism in, the country and these tourism policies serve as guidelines for the development of the tourism sector.
The implications of the frameworks move beyond a rigid checklist and provide direction to develop strategic mapping for designing research in an iterative fashion to optimize representativeness of findings.
Developing validity and reliability should move from a post hoc procedure to a central component in all stages of design. Many researchers failed to adequately describe methods in all phases, with lack of intensity in fieldwork being a ubiquitous problem. Using 15 educational administration dissertations in the United States, a thematic analysis examined components of the three frameworks: planning the study, in the field, and reporting results. This article used an embedded mixed methods approach in three stages: development of a conceptual framework reviewing 62 guidelines a content analysis of key areas of the guidelines and review of dissertations to see how practices compare to model guidelines. Outside of education, many academic disciplines developed and promulgated checklists to evaluate the quality of qualitative studies. Aldiabat, Carole-Lynne Le Navenec, and Nova Southeastern University. The following topics are discussed in this paper: (1) definition of data saturation in Grounded Theory (GT) (2) factors pertaining to data saturation (3) factors that hinder data saturation (4) the relationship between theoretical sampling and data saturation (5) the relationship between constant comparative and data saturation and (6) illustrative examples of strategies used during data collection to maximize the components of rigor that Yonge and Stewin (1988) described as Credibility, Transferability or Fittingness, Dependability or Auditability, and Confirmability. It is expected that this knowledge will provide a helpful resource for (a) the novice researcher using a Grounded Theory approach, or for (b) graduate students currently enrolled in a qualitative research course, and for (c) instructors who teach or supervise qualitative research projects. The aim of this paper is to provide a discussion that is broad in both depth and breadth, about the concept of data saturation in Grounded Theory.
