Social Research

What Is Social Research?

Social research is a systematic and scientific investigation into various social phenomena, behaviours, and attitudes. It involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data related to human interactions, cultural patterns, social structures, and community dynamics. Social research aims to understand the underlying factors that influence social issues and identify potential solutions for fostering positive social change.

Drive Positive Social Change

Effective social development and policy-making require an understanding of human behaviour and societal trends. Our Social Research initiatives explore attitudes, beliefs, and social phenomena, offering invaluable insights to government and non-profit organisations. Focused on community development and impact assessment, our Social Research services enable you to create positive change and lasting improvement. 

Social Research Methods

Our research methods encompass qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches. We utilise a variety of survey techniques, including online, mobile, paper-based, postal mail, and telephone surveys. Additionally, we conduct face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions, coupled with expert data analysis and visualisation of both structured and unstructured data to empower evidence-based decision-making.
