Sisällön kuvaus

The survey studied Finnish images of the countryside and the rural population and examined the differences between rural and urban areas. The respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with various statements about rural life; they also named which characteristics form a part of the Finnish rural landscape at the time of the survey and which characteristics they hoped would be a part of it in 20 years. Characteristics and typical hobbies of persons living in rural and urban areas were analyzed. The respondents were asked what they thought about statements related to rural development and future.

Background variables included sex, age, marital status, number of children, number of inhabitants in the municipality, province, place of birth of the respondent and his/her parents, the amount of time the respondent had lived in his/her present municipality, type of accommodation, type of region (urban or rural), basic and vocational education, occupational group, sector of occupation, monthly gross income, trade union membership and political beliefs.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Simple random

The target group of the survey consisted of 4,000 Finnish-speaking persons living in Finland (excluding the Åland Islands), aged between 15 and 75. The target group was randomly selected by the Population Register Centre. There were 2,212 responses, which means the response rate was 55.3%. Of the respondents 43% were male and 57% female. 37% of the responses came from rural areas and 63% from urban areas. The age distribution corresponds to the national population age distribution. Provinces were represented according to their population size.

42% of the respondents had been born in an urban area and 58% in a rural area. Only 11% had city-born parents. 5% worked in the agriculture or forest sector, 17% in the industry or building sector, 21% in the private sector and 23% in the public sector. However, most respondents (34%) were not in paid employment.
