Social research

 

              

 

We specialise in undertaking social research using a range of techniques for gathering information on the people-environment relationships linking the physical with the social and psychological (e.g. social exclusion and vulnerability to environmental hazards such as flooding). We employ robust quantitative and qualitative research techniques and analysis.
