Dufferin Research provides cost-effective, reliable services that include superior technical skills, excellent project management and have the sort of robust & secure infrastructure needed to succeed in this business. For further technical details see our capabilities page. But while we love the beauty of automation, and are masters of many programming languages, we still view ourselves first & foremost as a service company.

 We are 100% client focused. Your needs are what drive us. It's what we do. This philosophy has a price; service does not scale like technology. So we have come to terms with, and embraced the fact that we will remain a fairly small company. This is simply because what we do cannot be replicated on a large scale cost effectively. For Dufferin Research, hands on, means hands on.

Over the past few years, Dufferin Research has been moving towards providing additional services. In addition to the traditional quantitative online data collection, Dufferin Research provides the full range of services typical found in full service market research firms. If the area of expertise exists in-house, we will provide beginning to end research from the consultative process up front to define your needs and the project scope, project & questionnaire design, to the analysis and delivery of the results.

Since 2013, we have been offering expert consulting in Canada in the fields of Environmental engineering, risk assessment, water resource management and protection, and all issues related to hydrology and climatology.

 

 

Dufferin Research Report: Water use behaviour in Canadian Households.

 To assess water use behaviours in Canadian households, two waves of an online survey was conducted six months apart using a nationally representative sample.

 Respondents estimated end uses of water in categories ranging from laundry to toilet flushing, and from cooking to car washing.

Regions differ in water use – British Columbia households use more water than the rest of the nation.

Income levels are related to water use – households with an annual income at $50,000 and above use more water than lower income households.

Implications for developing water conservation communications are discussed.

Strategic Analysis for the Municipality of Kanjiza


The municipality Kanjiza in Serbia is an overwhelmingly rural area with a rich tradition in agriculture and food production. Taking into consideration the geographical location of the municipality, as well as the climatic conditions, agricultural development has great potential. The development of the agricultural sector in the Municipality is supported by the Republic of Serbia and Vojvodina and the basic objective of the current development strategy (including the Municipality of Kanjiža) is to encourage agricultural and food production.

 

In order to help the development of rural areas such as Kanjiža, Dufferin Research recently conducted and submitted the results of the "Strategy for rural development and agricultural development of Kanjiža" and the results were announced by the Municipality of Kanjiža. The municipality plans to assist producers to improve existing practices and expand the current infrastructure, based on the field research conducted.
