Abstract:
The current paper attempts to develop a possible method for improvement of
social service needs assessment process. The method combines triangulation with
results restitution technique. The model presented and tested in a complex research
project by us includes several methods: the sociological inquiry, the personal
interview and the group interview (focus group). They amount to what the specialists
in the field call triangulation method. We introduced an additional instrument
that is results restitution to the community leaders. These leaders become
involved in decisions regarding social services to be deployed, the chances of
success thus being improved. The picture of the social domain also becomes
clearer for both the decision makers and potential investors alike. Methodologically,
the combination of triangulation and results restitution has the potential
to overcome the limits of some other widely used methods like Participatory
Rural Appraisal and Rapid Rural Appraisal.
Keywords:
