A community need represents a gap in the community's resources, services, or infrastructure that, if addressed, would enhance the well-being, quality of life, or functioning of the community.
By identifying and addressing community needs, communities can work towards improving the quality of life for their community.
Addressing community needs involves collaboration between group members, engaging in dialogue with community partners (such as charities, NGOs, etc), and using MISO research.
Media * Interview * Survey * Observation
Enhance the understanding of a community and a community need by using the research method MISO: media, interview, survey, and observations.
It is crucial to conduct thorough research to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and effects of a community need. Students can analyze and synthesize the research into actions that are evidence-based and consider the unique context of the community need.
MISO offers a comprehensive approach to research, encompassing various dimensions that allow you to utilize the research findings to design and carry out effective actions.
It is important to acknowledge that your research may generate additional inquiries, prompting further investigations to address questions such as
"What should be the next steps?"
"How can improvements be made?"
"When is the best time to implement changes?"
