This cookbook is for community activists who want to produce research reports to support submissions, lobbying and other forms of social action.<br />
This cookbook aims to give you a variety of recipes for social research. It contains a broad selection of ingredients that can be used to create a research design that suits your particular needs for measuring how people are connecting in your community.<br />
The suggested measures will also be useful in finding out more about areas of need in the community and looking at the connections and relationships which create or undermine social capital.<br /><br />
You will find here new ideas and measures of social well being which offer alternatives to the economic or more quantitative results-focused statistics used by most official bodies.<br />
