CSSR Annual Report 2009

The Centre for Social Science Research TheCentreforSocialScience(CSSR)isaninterdisciplinaryresearchcentreattheUniversityofCapeTown dedicated to conducting and building capacity for systematic, policy-relevant social science research in SouthAfrica,theregionandacrossAfrica.

Methodologically,CSSRresearch isempirical,butproblem-driven.Whileweutilisebothquantitativeand qualitative strategies of data collection, our work is based on systematic research designs with clearconceptualisationofvariablesand transparent rules foroperationalisingvariables, selectingcases, andcollectingandanalysingdataanalysis(incontrasttoadhocfactcollectionornarrativedescription).Afterareasonableperiod,collecteddataareturnedintopublicac-cessdatasetsanddepositedwiththeDataFirstResourceCentre.

CSSRprojectsareusuallyteam-oriented,bringingtogethermultiplelocalandinternationalresearchers,andofferingpost-graduatestu-dentssignificantopportunities forhands-on trainingby involving theminallstagesofprojects.ResearchfindingsarepresentedanddiscussedatregularweeklyseminarsandpublishedasCSSRWorkingPapers.

Creating ‘Mixed’ Neigh-bourhoods Through the Allocation of Public HousingTheSSUwascommissionedbytheDepartmentofLocalGovernmentandHousing in theWesternCape toconduct research into thesocialconse-quencesofallocatingpublichousingsoas tocreate ‘mixed’neighbour-hoods.Theprovincialgovernmentaskedustoinvestigatewhetherneigh-bourhoodswhicharemixed–inracialorotherterms–aremorelikelytoexperienceconflict.
