Abstract Desludging is considered a key step in urban sanitation improvement. Nevertheless, in most urban unplanned settlements, desludging is performed in an unhygienic manner, risking public health. This study used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse the underlying factors for unhygienic desludging in three urban unplanned settlements of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Factors for unhygienic desludging were analysed using logistic regression analysis and the Integrated Behavioural Model for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IBM-WASH), respectively. It was found that 23.7% of the surveyed houses practised unhygienic desludging. Plot physical inaccessibility, outdated laws that stipulate low penalties and the lack of routine data were found to be key contextual factors. Furthermore, perceived inability to control unhygienic desludging among community members and the lack of feeling of shame among those performing unhygienic desludging are the key psycho-social factors. Technological factors contributing to continued practice of unhygienic desludging can be linked to the weakness in existing desludging technologies and general skepticism about the performance of manual desludging hand pumps. This paper concludes that unhygienic desludging in Dar es Salaam is likely to continue unless such factors are considered and integrated into the city's sanitation improvement plans.

The opposition between “quantitative” and “qualitative” perspectives in contemporary social science is an organizational limitation that directs discussions of the topic away from the main issue - the adequacy of any kind of data in respect to the phenomena they represent. This is particularly complicated if the phenomena are known to include inherent dynamics, are modifiable by the research encounter, or develop towards new states of existence. It is often assumed that qualitative and quantitative methods are mutually exclusive alternatives within a methodological process that is itself unified. The article shows that quantitative methods are derivates of a qualitative process of investigation, which itself can lead to the construction of inadequate data. The issue of the representativeness of the data - qualitative or quantitative - remains the central unresolved question for the methodology of the social sciences. Errors in representation can be diminished by correction of methods through direct (experiential) access to the phenomena, guided by the researcher's educated intuition.

The number of elderly in the province of Yogyakarta Special Region has showed an absolute and relative tendencies to increase. The average increase from 1971 to 1995 which was 3.27 percent per year, cannot be separated from the uprising of people life expectancy. The increasing of life expectancy, in one hand indicates to be positive phenomena, but in another hand, brings forth the problem of cares.

Key Issues

Based on a study combining qualitative and quantitative methods on children’s relation to politics, this article discusses the specificities of childhood as a research object in the social sciences. It raises two key issues. The first relates to the aptitudes required to participate in research (and thus the reliability of children’s responses) and the second relates to the potential imbalance in the research relationship. The article demonstrates that the difficulties encountered depend on the social characteristics of the children and are not specific to this age group. They primarily result from the distance between the interviewer and the interviewee, in this case stemming from the age difference sometimes accentuated by social distance. Children can be considered social beings like any others, and their specificities can be usefully analysed using the traditional tools of the social sciences.

In a globalizing urban India, middle-class parents are extremely anxious about their child’s success and future in a competitive world. In this context, the present article attempts to capture middle-class educated Indian fathers’ thoughts, feelings, and contributions in ensuring children’s success, through primary research conducted in the city of Baroda in western India using qualitative and quantitative methods. Descriptive data and fathers’ voices highlight their notions of achievement, the nature and extent of their involvement in different areas of their children’s lives, namely, providing, guiding and mentoring, practical and emotional support, communication, education, and extracurricular activities. Fathers’ vision of a successful child, nature of involvement and their reasoning are in consonance with their desire for involvement in promoting the child’s cognitive and social competence, and passing on sanskar, a unique aspect of Hindu culture.

Level Of Agreement

The article begins with a description of the triangulation principle in the social sciences. The main goal is to demonstrate the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods in the case of occupational professionalisation. The argumentation is built around the operationalisation of indicators of professionalisation of 63 occupations based on two different theoretical approaches, as well as the process of data collection presented in each case. The level of agreement of the two approaches is presented. In the final section, the findings are discussed, and outlines for potential new research in this field are presented.
