Housing in the Dearne Valley: Doing Community OR with the Thurnscoe Tenants Housing Co-operative. Part 2 — An Evaluation
评估社区运筹学单位与瑟恩斯库租户住房合作社合作的效果，总结对合作社的益处、对社区运筹学未来发展的启示，以及对运筹学广泛实践的教训。
In this paper we offer an evaluation of the Community Operational Research Unit's involvement with the Thurnscoe Tenants Housing Co-operative. This follows an earlier paper which gave a descriptive account of that involvement. Following a brief summary of the working philosophy of the Unit, the evaluation is conducted by considering the benefits that have accrued to the Co-operative, the lessons that have been learnt for the future development of community operational research, and the lessons that have been learnt for the wider practice of operational research. Preliminary conclusions are offered which suggest that there is a healthy potential for the further use of operational research with community clients.
