Survey Manual for Comprehensive Urban Planning: The Use of Opinion Surveys and Sampling Techniques in the Planning Process

Jerome R. Saroff and Alberta Z. Levitan

This study examines the applications of scientific public opinion and survey sampling techniques to comprehensive planning and other urban planning programs. The survey manual deals with two major elements: a case study in Providence, Rhode Island, which illustrates the process of conducting a survey and the kinds of findings and results which may be obtained; and a methodology section which focuses on the techniques and methods used in survey research. Research design, survey methodology, organization of data collection, the plan for data processing and preparation of the final report are discussed. Scientific survey sampling is shown to be a useful instrument for obtaining information on a variety of urban problems, including opinions on quality of public facilities, reasons for moving, support for Urban Renewal and Model Cities programs, and evaluation of social welfare programs.
