1.2 Report Format
The rest of the report is structured as follows:
Part 2 covers the methodology used in the study.
Part 3 is the development of a conceptual framework for this report, including definitions of key concepts and tools for both the research process and analysis
Part 4 focuses on farming in context – on expectations which were understood to be basic to traditional farming and farm culture ways, and on changes made in New Zealand in the 1980s.
Parts 5 and 6 cover the continuing impact of these changes, as experienced by people in the mid-Rangitikei. These sections tell their stories, and concentrate upon the description of issues central to the lives of farm families - their problems, concerns and hopes for the future.
Part 7 analyses the research information, and includes a four level analysis methodology to obtain further insights.
Part 8 draws conclusions from the analysis and addresses questions of sustainability.
Part 9 contains the report recommendations.
