Ethnographic Survey Techniques

Ethnographic survey techniques involve researchers immersing themselves in a community or environment to observe and understand people's behaviors, beliefs, and interactions naturally. Instead of just asking questions, they spend time living among the community, watching how people go about their daily lives. This method provides deep insights into cultural practices, social dynamics, and routines, capturing context and nuance that surveys or interviews might miss. It’s a thorough way to gather detailed, authentic information about a group's way of life, helping researchers build a rich understanding of the community from an insider’s perspective.
