the community (e.g., elected mayor, city council with
single-member districts)? Are people involved in
decision making in their local governmental unit?
6. Communication—Are there “common areas” where

major forms of recreation? Who participates? What
facilities for recreation do you see?
III. Perceptions
1. The Residents—How do people feel about the
community? What do they identify as its strengths?
Problems? Ask several people from different
groups (e.g., old, young, field worker, factory
worker, professional, minister, housewife) and keep
track of who gives what answer.
2. Your Perceptions—General statements about the
“health” of this community. What are its strengths?
What problems or potential problems can you identify?
Note: Supplement your impressions with information from the census, police records,
school statistics, chamber of commerce data, health department reports, and so on to
confirm or refute your conclusions.Tables, graphs, and maps are helpful and will aid
in your analysis.
*This survey form was renamed “Learning about the Community on Foot” to
underscore the necessity of walking around the community. Also, when one of the
authors (Elizabeth T. Anderson) used it in rural Mexico, the area being assessed was
not accessible by automobile. For ease of citation and referral, we will continue to use
“windshield survey” as its title.

Observasi Data
Inti Komunitas
1. Sejarah —
Apa yang dapat Anda kumpulkan dengan observasi (mis.,
Lingkungan kotor, yang sudah bersih; gedung baru)? Tanyakan
kepada masyarakat: Sudah berapa lama Anda tinggal di sini?
Apakah area sudah berubah? Saat Anda berbicara, tanyakan
apakah ada "tokoh masyarakat" yang mengetahui sejarah daerah
tersebut
2. Demografi —
Orang macam apa yang Anda lihat? Muda? Tua? Tuna wisma?
Sendirian? Keluarga? Ras apa yang kamu lihat? Apakah
populasinya homogen?
3. Etnisitas —
Apakah Anda mencatat indikator berbagai kelompok etnis (mis.,
Restoran, festival)? Tanda-tanda apa yang Anda lihat dari
kelompok budaya yang berbeda?
4. Nilai dan Keyakinan —

Apakah ada gereja, masjid, kuil? Apakah ini tampak homogen?
Apakah halaman rumput dirawat? Dengan bunga? Taman?
Tanda-tanda seni? Budaya? Warisan? Penanda sejarah?
5. Politik dan Pemerintah — Apakah ada tanda-tanda aktivitas

politik (mis., Poster, rapat)? Afiliasi partai apa yang
mendominasi? Apa yurisdiksi pemerintah komunitas (mis.,
Walikota terpilih, dewan kota dengan distrik beranggota
tunggal)? Apakah orang terlibat dalam pengambilan
keputusan di unit pemerintahan lokal mereka?
6. Komunikasi — Apakah ada “area umum” tempat orang

berkumpul? Koran apa yang Anda lihat di tribun? Apakah
orang-orang memiliki TV dan radio? Apa yang mereka tonton
/ dengarkan? Apa cara komunikasi formal dan informal?
7. Pendidikan — Apakah ada sekolah di daerah itu? Bagaimana

penampilan mereka? Apakah ada perpustakaan? Apakah ada
dewan pendidikan lokal? Bagaimana fungsinya? Apa reputasi
sekolah? Apa masalah pendidikan utama?
Apakah angka putus sekolah? Apakah kegiatan

ada layanan kesehatan sekolah? Perawat sekolah?
8. Rekreasi — Di mana anak-anak bermain? Apa saja bentuk
rekreasi utama? Siapa yang berpartisipasi? Fasilitas rekreasi
apa yang Anda lihat?
II. Persepsi
1. Penduduk —
Bagaimana perasaan orang tentang komunitas? Apa yang
mereka identifikasi sebagai kekuatannya? Masalah?
Tanyakan beberapa orang dari kelompok yang berbeda
(mis., Tua, muda, pekerja lapangan, pekerja pabrik,
profesional, menteri, ibu rumah tangga) dan catat siapa yang
memberikan jawaban.
2. Persepsi Anda —
Pernyataan umum tentang “kesehatan” komunitas ini. Apa
kekuatannya?
Masalah apa atau potensi masalah yang dapat Anda
identifikasi?
Catatan: Tambahkan obsrervasi Anda dengan informasi dari sensus, catatan polisi,
statistik sekolah, kamar dagang, laporan departemen kesehatan, dan sebagainya untuk
mengonfirmasi atau membantah kesimpulan Anda. Tabel, grafik, dan peta sangat
membantu dan akan membantu dalam analisis Anda
* Formulir survei ini dinamai "Belajar tentang Komunitas dengan Berjalan Kaki"
untuk menggarisbawahi perlunya berjalan di sekitar masyarakat. Juga, ketika salah
satu penulis (Elizabeth T. Anderson) menggunakannya di pedesaan Meksiko, daerah
yang dinilai tidak dapat diakses oleh mobil. Untuk kemudahan kutipan dan rujukan,
kami akan terus menggunakan "survei kaca depan" sebagai judulnya.
