It is crucial that researchers respect the rights, privacy, and wellbeing of individuals and communities while gathering data. 

Urban environments are often diverse and complex, with a mix of socio-economic, cultural, and political dynamics that can impact how research is perceived and received. 

Conducting ethical fieldwork helps prevent exploitation or harm to vulnerable populations, fosters trust between researchers and participants, and promotes more accurate, reliable data. It also encourages a reflective approach to research, where the social context and the consequences of the findings are carefully considered, ensuring that the research contributes positively to the community and does not perpetuate inequalities or stereotypes.
