Sisällön kuvaus

The Local government barometer 1993 probed citizens' opinions on different means of improving the financial state of Finnish municipalities. The respondents were asked, for example, how efficient and appropriate it would be to raise municipal taxes, cut down or privatise services, increase loans, collect service fees, sell public property, stall investments, promote consolidations of municipalities or municipal co-operation, denounce or lay off employees, cut down employee wages, reduce the number of elected officials, introduce profit responsibility into civil service departments and organisations, increase or decrease state control, and increase citizen influence on municipal matters.

Respondents were, furthermore, monitored on attitudes towards the fixed-term contracts of senior civil servants and municipal / city managers, electoral system, consolidation of municipalities, work efficiency of municipal employees, municipal self-government, the impact of the EU membership on one's home municipality, foreigners and refugees, and turning public service organisations into public utilities. They were also asked to describe their political views and attitudes towards the EU membership.

The respondents were asked how much money their families should have in order to manage barely, manage reasonably well, and extremely well. Background variables included respondent's gender, age, basic education, vocational education, marital status, household's gross income, age structure, number of household members, occupational group of the head of the household, type of neighbourhood, municipality of residence, and the province of residence.

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.
