This is a study concerning the investigation of galaxy formation and evolution in small-scale structures and the influence of the environment on the properties of galaxies. The environment plays a key role in the evolution of galaxies since it governs the type of encounters. We present results from low-resolution spectroscopy and R-band surface photometry of multiplets of galaxies found in low-density environments and compare them to cluster environments. Properties such as induced galaxy activity, star formation enhancements, AGN activity and the connection between merging and galaxy morphology are investigated.
