RESEARCH METHODS-STUDY SETTINGS

 

Briefly describe the organisation, agency or community in which you will conduct your study. If the study is about a group of people, highlight some of the salient characteristics of the group (e.g. its history, size, composition and structure) and draw attention to any available relevant information.  If your research concerns an agency, office or organisation, include the following in your description: the main services provided by the agency, office or organisation; its administrative structure;
the type of clients served; information about the issues that are central to your research.  If you are studying a community, briefly describe some of the main characteristics, such as: the size of the community; a brief social profile of the community (i.e. the composition of the various groups within it); issues of relevance to the central theme of your study.  Note that, due to the nature of the content, it would be difficult to provide examples.
