Abstract
Panel surveys can provide high quality data of unmatchable detail. They are of central importance for the description and analysis of spatial behaviour which involves recurrent choice and movement, and for the assessment of change in behaviour over time. In this paper a discussion of some methodological aspects of panel surveys is provided via a description and appraisal of the design, conduct and characteristics of the Cardiff Consumer Panel Survey of 1982. The importance of the data base generated by the Cardiff survey, as a resource for geographical research, is assessed.
