Social survey plays a vital role in assisting governments and businesses to develop services, policies, and products that are responsive to identified needs. Social survey also reveals society dynamics and makes us understand the society as a whole or in constituent base that are relevant to a certain scope such as public health, public services (providers or users), government programs, intervention or stimulus programs, politics and elections, ideological perception measurements, institutional image in private or public sector, internal customer satisfaction, non-profit organization programs. Social research helps to decision makers seeking effectiveness both in outcomes and costs in variety of programs, determine how/why an intervention or program works, or doesn’t work.
