environmental survey

Structured observations undertaken in the field and recorded on specially designed forms. Note that interview surveys record a respondent’s answers to questions, whereas environmental surveys record what an observer sees in the field. For example, a community organization may conduct periodic environmental surveys to monitor neighborhood parks—whether facilities are in good condition, how much litter is present, and what kinds of people use the park.

snowball sampling

A method for drawing a non-probability sample. Snowball samples are often used in field research. Each person interviewed is asked to suggest additional people for interviewing.
