PHASE I - RESEARCH PLAN. INSTITUTIONS AND LIFE STYLES PROJECT. BART IMPACT PROGRAM

The report is a research plan outlining central institutions most likely to be affected by BART, most feasible for study, and most likely to produce findings of transferability to other settings for policy-related decisions. Second, selected aspects of various kinds of life-styles are reviewed and suggestions and hypotheses presented for further study of both institutions and life-styles (I and LS). The methodologies are designed to inter-connect from different angles in the study of the same problem, with a combination of ethnographic, observational, and survey research supplemented by document monitoring and analysis.
