HAIRE’s third tool is provided by the University of Plymouth. The tool consists of a survey that invites people to list their connections to other people, information sources and organisations and actvities. The strength of each connection is also captured.

Social Network Analysis helps to identify an individuals social connections - including to other people, information sources and activities and organisations.

The tool can be administered using a paper version of the survey, see here: HAIRE Social Network Analysis Survey. Under 'Assigned ID', the name of a participant and/or an ID that has been given to them can be written into the document. It is also good practice to date each paper survey.

The paper survey is also available in French and Dutch: HAIRE SNA Survey (in Dutch) and HAIRE SNA Survey (in French)

Data collected via the paper surveys can be input into a digital tool, called Sociometric, that the University of Plymouth, UK, developed. The digital tool, which is available as an app (at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store) and for web-browsers, processes these data and provides users with basic analysis. If more convenient, the web-based tool (and app versions) can be used to collect data directly, i.e., without the need for paper copies of HAIRE's SNA survey. More detailed information about the digial tool can be found on the following page: Social Network Analysis Web-tool and App (Sociometric)
