Information Gathering Mechanisms for Use in Engaging the Community and Gathering Feedback Approach Description Advantages Disadvantages / Barriers Other Considerations Community Meetings Broad, inclusive community meeting – often called a “town hall” meeting. Open discussion among a large group of participants. Can be conducted multiple times • Can reach a large number of people. • Helps to publicize the process as well as get community input. • Requires a great deal of promotion to get broad community involvement. • Some individuals/groups may dominate the discussion or “pack” the meeting. Requires a strong facilitator. Discussions can be incorporated into the agendas of alreadyexisting town meetings. Community Dialogues For a description of this process, see “Tip Sheet – Conducting a Community Dialogue” (page 116). Smaller (20-35 people) gatherings where all/many sectors of the community are represented. May be conducted with • Useful for exploring complex issues in greater depth. • Useful for engaging less-enfranchised sectors of the community. • Some individuals or groups may dominate the discussion. • Group atmosphere may hinder honest opinions. Requires a strong facilitator. Focus Groups For a description, see “Tip Sheet – A Step by Step Approach to Conducting Focus Groups” (page 115). A small group of participants (generally 8-10) that responds to a set number of questions. Useful for providing specific direction and/or reactions to concepts from targeted groups (e.g., identified subpopulations). • Participants react to ideas together – can build off of each other’s comments. • Quick way to hear a variety of thoughts and statements. • Some individuals may dominate the discussion. • Group atmosphere may hinder honest opinions. • Only a small number of people can realistically participate. Requires a good deal of preparation and a good facilitator. Walking or Windshield Surveys See “Clarkston Vignette –Windshield Survey” for a description on the MAPP Web site. Conducted by driving or walking around the community and taking note of aspects of the community that can be seen with the eyes. Helps to identify assets (e.g., a small pond where children swim that offers a recreation site) or unrecognized issues (e.g., • Requires only a small number of people to conduct the survey. • Can bring new awareness of community assets or issues. • Requires an open mind to identify previously unrecognized assets/ issues. Fairly easy to conduct, but should not be the only mechanism used for information gathering. Good supplement to other mechanisms.
