Description
The programme deals with the administration of a questionnaire survey for council house tenants and applicants in Birmingham. The questionnaire is designed to look at the process of getting council... house accommodation. An interview between a researcher and a West Indian tenant is shown. A large number of the questions are open-ended in order to discover people's perception of the allocation system. The interpretation and coding of attitudinal questionnaires like these is a lengthy and complicated business. This programme shows the researchers doing preliminary 'weighting' of the completed questionnaires and gives insight into the techniques of evaluation which are required.
