Community Research website – the place to learn and share
Community Research is the place to find good community research and researchers in New Zealand. The website is Aotearoa's premier hub for research papers, articles, case studies and documentation about the tangata whenua, community and voluntary sector.
You can use it to upload your research, join or create discussion forums, find research and researchers, help pass on new ideas and good practice, and share your expertise with others.
The term ’community research’ refers to research that adds to our knowledge of tangata whenua (Māori communities), and New Zealand’s community and voluntary sector. And research that promotes good ways of working with communities, so that people learn through participating in the research.
More than 200 people and organisations have already contributed research to the site on topics such as generosity, volunteering,community development, social inclusion, cultural diversity and capacity building.
Recently-added research reports include:
- Financial Reporting Stocktake: An assessment of accountability
through charities’ filings on New Zealand’s Charities Register
- Evaluation of the Healthy Relationships Programme for youth with
intellectual disabilities
- Te Rarawa Community Research
The Community Research team is happy to make presentations to
