Sozialraumanalyse in der Praxis

Social space analyses examine living environments using empirical and participatory research methods. But how can professionals in social work, local development, or neighborhood management implement this? The textbook provides a systematic approach based on clearly defined steps: What do I want to know and why (development of a research question)? How can I determine this (operationalization)? What methods can I use (method selection and implementation)? A modular system is proposed for readers, consisting of quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methods. These can be combined depending on the research question, context, and target groups. Additionally, it demonstrates how to evaluate and interpret research results. The textbook thus supports the practical execution of social space analyses.
