Abstract
Generally speaking, living and practicing in a specific location is the foundation for investigating if a community is undergoing social disorganization . Fei says ‘to make in-depth and meticulous research on the lives of people, researchers need to restrict their investigations within a small social unit, which is motivated by practical considerations. Investigators must be accessible to respondents for close observation in person.’
