Sisällön kuvaus

The respondents were asked several questions about the correlation between the level of the municipal tax and the supply of services. Views on the municipal administration and the adequacy or inadequacy of local government services were also canvassed. The respondents were asked what kind of role municipalities should play in executing and financing employment schemes. They were also asked which would be suitable means for improving municipalities' financial situation.

The respondents were asked to name the characteristics they value in their own local councillors, and to describe the general image of the Finnish municipalities and local government. They also assessed the significance and effectiveness of municipal management. Compared to the previous barometers, the 1996 survey included several revised questions.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, basic education, vocational education, income of the household, household composition, occupational group and economic activity of the respondent and the household head, type of neighbourhood, municipality of residence, province of residence, and whether or not R is a municipal employee.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Multistage

The sample was collected in three phases. In the first phase, the target persons were divided by province. Then, within each province, the target persons were divided according to community type: communities were grouped in different types so that cities were divided to big and small according to population size, and rural communities in three classes according to industrial structure. In the third phase, a group of starting points were designated for each of the selected municipalities in relation to their population. Starting point method was used, and each randomly selected point resulted in six interviews. From each household the person who matched the gender and age requirements stated in the selection card was interviewed.
