A greater understanding of the social
issues of central British Columbia is key to
the continued growth and development of the Prince George region. The Institute for
Social Research and Evaluation (ISRE) is a research institute located at the University of Northern British Columbia dedicated to
examining these issues.
A number of local partners are involved with the Institute to ensure its work
is applied at the community level. These partnerships are key to the
Institute's sustainability, as well as its ability to conduct action oriented
social research and program evaluations.
The primary research and training agenda of the Institute is to conduct two
community-wide, social surveys annually, with a Spring survey covering
general quality of life issues and a fall survey focused more specifically on
special topics determined by the Institute's partners. These surveys would
normally each be sent to about 2000 people. The accumulated data from the annual
surveys will serve as a baseline for the Prince George region to measure changes in
areas such as population health, neighbourhood transitions, and satisfaction
with public services and private enterprise. This data will also help in
forecasting changes in the social, economic, and political climate of the
City. As a result, information will be available to aid in the development of
businesses and needed public services, and it will be possible to establish
realistic targets for such issues as health standards.
