สรุป	Participatory rural appraisal is a growing family of approaches and methods that enable local people to share, enhance, and analyze their own knowledge of their lives and conditions, and to plan and act on it. Associated above all with Robert Chambers, PRA reverses the conventional research relationship: outside facilitators hand over the stick, and community members themselves do the mapping, ranking, diagramming, and analysis that drive planning and action.	Rapid ethnographic assessment — also called the Rapid Assessment Process — is intensive, team-based qualitative inquiry that uses triangulation, iterative data analysis, and additional rounds of data collection to quickly develop a preliminary understanding of a situation from the insiders' point of view. Formalized by James Beebe, it compresses the logic of long-term ethnography into days or weeks for applied settings where decisions cannot wait for a year of fieldwork.
