Scope of the Study: Northern Alberta
The primary objective of this study is to explore the Economic and non-Economic contribution of the Muslim community in Northern Alberta. The Muslim community has been around for a long time and has been growing in all aspects – not only in numbers but also in all facets – business, profession, income contribution, social and political processes, etc. It is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the community in the greater society of Alberta. This project is expected to do that.
The outcome of the study is to create a comprehensive report – perhaps in two parts – a technical part with details [much more hard facts and figures for academic, official, and professional use] and a promotional part [for the general audience].
This subproject will aid in the main project through the collection of data. A semi-structured or combined structure and non-structure questionnaire will be used for this part. Structured data will provide quantitative figures to develop charts, graphs, and other visual means. It will also provide an opportunity for statistical analysis and numerical comparisons. The non-structured component will allow supporting the quantitative information through further in-depth information.
Qualification of the students: Must be familiar with Muslim culture and community as well as the contemporary society of Alberta. High peoples and communication skills are essential. Experience in conducting surveys would be an asset.
Location: Northern Alberta, North of Red Deer [Edmonton, Lac La Biche, Fort McMurray, Grand Prairie, etc.].
