Hi there! I am Olivia, I am trying to carry out research that discusses how social and health services are offered to the population (children, youth, adults, the disabled, and the elderly) and whether the needs of these targets are met. So, I want to map the social services of Hong Kong and test whether they meet the targets’ needs. Could you give me some advice?

No worries!

Thank you for the advice.

I am also interested in that topic. Social mapping and resource mapping are the two techniques to understand the social services offered to the general population. By social mapping, you can show the relative location of the households having social services benefits like educational and health facilities, and the distribution of different types of people (male/female, young, adult, elderly, disabled, etc.) across the social structure and its associated institutions. By community resource mapping technique, you can include human resources, financial resources, institutional assets, and networks. This will help you to detect the necessities in relation to the target and needs they have met and what they are demanding.
