Scope
This dissertation examines how economic development and
social transformation deficiencies in Benue state, Nigeria are
caused by lack of water or inadequate water supply.
Purpose
The study conducts a quantitative, non-experimental and cross-
sectional research to gauge of the lack of portable water
availability in Benue state and its socioeconomic development

impacts thereof.
Philosophical Approach
The researcher adopted a quantitative, non-experimental and
cross-sectional approach in the study because it is best suited to
examine the complex relationships and correlations that exist
between variables. This approach is also more practical when
conducting research on rural community settings where
decision-making agencies are involved.
Underlying Assumptions
One of the paper’s underlying assumption is that the lack of
portable water availability is directly linked to other variables.
In addition, the paper’s second assumption is that the direct link
between other variables and lack of potable water availability
has significant impacts on Benue’s economic development and
social change.
Research
The researcher adopted survey-sampling methodology, where
participants, were interviewed in lieu of the impacts of lack of
potable water or its inadequacy on their economic and social
development.
Limitations
The researcher indicated that paper’s limitation is the lack of
political will in Benue state to implement the findings of the
study. According the researcher this lack of political will
undermines the implementation of policies that seek to enhance
social-economic development in Benue state.
Opportunities for further inquiry
The researcher indicated that there is need for further research
on other areas that have the potential to serve as great
opportunities to develop and improve Benue’s subsector
services.
Validity of use
This dissertation was essential as it illustrated how lack of
portable water availability has impacted Benue’s economic and
social development.

Community Leadership Survey that was sent to the program’s
association comprising of 448 graduates from 2003 to 2012
which had a total yield of 155 surveys.
Limitations
The first limitation of the study was the inability of the
programs curriculum design to reveal the long-term impacts on
the graduates and the ability to achieve the program objectives.
The second limitation was the lack of adequate resources, which
hampered the ability to conduct an internal summative

evaluation of the program. The third limitation was lack of
adequate financial resources to contract external researchers.

5457665?accountid=14872
Scope
The research explores how community participation in
reference formulating affordable housing.
Purpose
The objective of this study was to examine how effective
community participation via exploration of particular program
in the US leads to affordable housing.
The study employed community participation approach in

approach provides sustainable education and outreach programs
to the public on the best ways and practices of having
affordable housing.
The first underlying researcher’s assumption is that the selected
participants in the study provided accurate and forthcoming
responses in reference to the interview questions on the
participants’ experience and knowledge in affordable housing.

The second assumption was that the participants’ experiences
were instrumental in helping them express their perceptions on
community participation. The third assumption was that the
participants voluntarily responded to interview questions.
Research
The researcher used semi structured interviews where open-
ended questions were posed to the participants and used to
collect lived experiences.
Limitations
(1). There was small sample used of the original population due
to the participant’s financial and time constraints. (2) The views
and responses expressed by the participants may not accurately
reflect those of the selected community. (3) The research
methodology used was inherently limited.
The research deducted that if community members played a
leading role, there would be positive social change in reference
to affordable housing. In addition, if extensive education is
conducted, community members can be able to use their
abilities to take effective measures to promote positive social
change.
Validity of use
The study indicates that it is imperative for community
members to have positive social change to address their housing
needs.
Engelbright, C. L. (2015). Planning for a community supported
farmers market in a rural USDA food desert (Order No.
3707617). Available from ProQuest Dissertations & Theses
6319272?accountid=14872
Scope
The study seeks to develop community initiative to illustrate
how it can effectively address the inadequate access to fruits
and vegetables to persons living in USDA designated food

desert.
Purpose
The study’s purpose is to develop and plan for
implementation and evaluation of farmers who are supported by
the community, residing in South Wood County to ensure that
the farmers’ access to fruits and vegetables is increased.
The researcher conducted the study based on three approaches.
(1) Assembling interdisciplinary project team comprising of
community stakeholders. (2) Use of literature review on the best
practices to have a sustainable farmers’ market. (3) Creation of
a development plan to review literature used in the study.
(1) Produce prices will reduce in the farmer’s market when
compared to the local retail outlet. (2) Implementing local and
sustainable food system will increase the access to fresh
produce and at the same time increase the community health.
Research
The researcher adopted survey-sampling methodology, where
participants, were interviewed on the experiences on lack of
affordable and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Limitations
(1) There was limited community resident participation. (2) The
town hall meeting used to conduct the meeting was small. (3)
Bad weather conditions hampered travelling to conduct
interviews and attend meetings. (4) The town hall meetings
coincided with a large sporting event, which significantly
reduced the level of attendance.
If there is a liaison between the community and other
government authorities, the cost of fresh produce can
significantly reduce and make it affordable and accessible.
Validity of use
The study was instrumental in seeking ways in which fresh
produce can be made accessible and affordable.

experienced by oil companies in Nigeria.
Experiences of distrust and violence netted on oil companies
will be communicated freely. (2) Authorities cannot control the
distrust and violence on oil companies. (3) The experiences are
not similar in all geographical areas. (4) Data collected is based
on accurate responses. (6) Data collected is a representation of
the host communities. (7) Study findings will provide peaceful
management strategies. (8) Elements of social change spread
from the affected villages to other communities. (9) Case study
will portray the accurate story in reference to the host
community and oil companies.
Research
The researcher used interviews to ascertain the root causes of
community distrust and violence on oil companies.
Limitations
(1) The terrain impended access to various geographical
locations. (2) Participants not giving accurate information. (3)

coordination by the oil companies and the respective
communities, the distrust would significantly reduce and the
violence. Thus the researcher was of the view that there needs
to be more studies to achieve this management practices.
Validity of use
The research was instrumental in determining the possible root
causes of the said distrust and violence and the possible
solutions.
