Project description:

The scientific monitoring of the project "Inclusive Community" is deigned to examine the impact of the project on the respective social space on three levels. Level 1 of the project provides for the impact analysis of the overall process (evaluation of the service modules) and Level 2 for the impact analysis of the networking and implementation process in the five selected social spaces (monitoring and analysis of the social space).  In terms of methodology, a mixed-methods design was developed that combines quantitative and qualitative social research methods in a meaningful and beneficial way. Level 3 focuses on the subjective experience and assessments of all the actors involved in the process.  Accordingly, in-depth, longitudinally designed individual case studies are to be prepared in each community and for each field of action.
