P299: Research Methods in Planning

Module 4. Secondary Data


Introduction

In this module, you will explore one of the possible data source for your research called
secondary data. Planning usually utilizes available secondary data that are often
gathered and compiled by different organization and agencies. The availability of
secondary data is very useful for research and planning purposes because it reduce the
resources needed to conduct these activities. Although secondary data in their original
form are often not very useful for planning purposes and so the task of the planner is to
transform this data into planning information or planning intelligence that can be used
for decision making. In this module, you will explore different secondary data used in
researches for planning purposes.

Learning Objectives

After completing this topic on Secondary Data Collection, the students should be able
to:

1. Identify the possible secondary data and sources for planning;


2. Collect existing data for their planning purpose;
3. Transform data collected to information and indicators for research and planning
purpose.

Secondary Data

Secondary data are data that are available in different forms and in different possible
sources. This is data that were previously gathered for different reason but can serve a
purpose for your research need. Secondary data are useful for research and planning
because it can validate information that are gathered in the field or can be further
analyzed to understand the planning area.

The readings provide introduction on secondary data and analysis.
