Fitzgerald Applied Sociology is a New Zealand-based research group that provides resource managers, researchers, project developers, planners, policy makers, programme managers, and decision-makers with socially intelligent answers to their questions about people and communities.

We do this through sound and timely research, backed by knowledge and a wealth of practical experience in 

• social and community research 
• social impact assessment
• evaluation
• stakeholder and community engagement, participation, and capacity building.
  

In practice this means we ~

• listen to our client's questions and needs, and design appropriate studies to meet those needs
• gather the required information using proven, accepted and ethical research methods
• engage and consult with those who have stake in the answers and outcomes
• carrying out rigorous and transparent analysis
• present findings in a way that you can understand
• advise our clients on how to make the most of the results.
