Dutch term or phrase: omgevingsonderzoek [urgent]
Deze term is al eens gevraagd op proz maar dan in een andere context. Ik kan maar geen geschikte term vinden. Alles met environment klinkt wel erg als iets met het milieu. Hieronder context.

Het komt alleen voor in deze 2 zinnen:

"AUTISMEGEBONDEN GEDRAGSKENMERKEN VOOR HET OMGEVINGSONDERZOEK"

(t.o.v. AUTISMEGEBONDEN GEDRAGSKENMERKEN VOOR DE CLIËNT)

en "ALGEMENE BEROEPS/OPLEIDINGSCOMPETENTIES VOOR HET OMGEVINGSONDERZOEK"

Dat omgevingsonderzoek houdt in dat mensen uit de omgeving van de cliënt vragen over de cliënt moeten beantwoorden (bij het diagnostiseren/vaststellen van (kenmerken van) stoornissen). Het gaat erover waar de cliënt last van heeft op school/werk en wat hem zou kunnen helpen om zijn gedrag te verbeteren.

Iemand ideeën? Bij voorbaat dank.

Example sentence(s):

localised survey


Explanation:
Would fit well here IMO.

Localised means limited to the area concerned.

Survey would be to gain opinions from individuals in that limited area about a certain subject matter.

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: Yes, I believe 'survey' is the right word here and it is true/clear that only people from the client's immediate surroundings are being interviewed
