AB This article reflects part of the results obtained from a wider research projectaimed at the elaboration of a “Map of Good Intercultural Practices” in several areas ofSocial Intervention in Andalusia (Spain) and reports the results obtained from theanalysis portion related to the participating projects within the Social Services.Intercultural assessment was conducted at the level of institutional intervention througha 32-item questionnaire that was sent to 139 intercultural project-leading institutions,but also considered the intercultural sensitivity factor of the individuals answering thequestionnaire. A definition of the fundamental concepts of “Interculturality” and “GoodPractice” is given to support the foundations of “Good Intercultural Practice” (GIP).Such definitions help in the design and validation of a GIP Scale that was used in theanalysis of 60 Social Services Projects with an intercultural component. The resultsobtained underline the relevance of aspects such as intercultural empathy and showsignificant differences between the Social Services and other intervention sectors. Therelevance of this study relies on the future posibility to find an explanation to suchdifferencesand to study GIPs in other intervention sectors. With respect to this, theprivate sector offers a completely blank area of research both in itself and in comparsonwith the results obtained from the public one. Also, the transferability of theinstruments and methodology used makes it possible that the research presented in thepresent article is conducted in other geographical area.
