The investigation of environmental effects is a topic of high priority in current extragalactic research. In this connection, the study of neighbouring galaxies will result in characteristic properties of a low-density sample of extragalactic systems which may be used for comparison with other samples, with clusters of galaxies, for instance. The advantage of nearby galaxies is that they allow us to obtain an almost complete sample down to low-luminous objects because of their small distances.
