Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted Finnish public opinion on the welfare state, public services, joint municipal authorities, and the enlargement of the European Union. First, the respondents were asked to what extent a number of statements relating to the welfare state coincided with their own views. One topic charted the respondents' issues of concern (e.g. war, international terrorism, outbreak of epidemic diseases, income disparity, crime, personal safety, racism, state of the roads and streets, air pollution) in general and relating to their own municipality.

The respondents were asked what steps they would find acceptable for improving the financial situation of their municipality (e.g. hiring foreign employees, cutting staff numbers, lowering wages, postponing investments). Opinions on the likelihood of certain developments happening in the municipality were studied. Attitudes to municipal services and joint municipal authorities (municipal federations) were charted with a set of attitudinal statements relating to the number of municipalities in Finland, forced municipal mergers, staffing levels, competitive tendering of service provision, etc. The respondents were also asked which costs they thought could be cut. One theme pertained to what kind of impact the EU enlargement would have on employment, business conditions, municipal autonomy, the availability of EU subsidies etc. in the region of residence.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, economic activity, type of neighbourhood, highest education, household gross annual income, number and ages of household members, household composition, province and region (NUTS3) of residence, and which party R would vote for if the parliamentary elections were held at that time.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Multistage

The sampling was conducted in three stages. First, the target population was divided into NUTS2 major regions. In the second stage, the target population within major regions was further divided into municipality types. The municipalities were grouped into municipality types by dividing towns into large and small towns based on the number of inhabitants, and by dividing rural municipalities into three categories based on their economic structure. Based on these strata, a representative sample of municipalities was selected. In the third stage, a number of starting addresses were chosen in each municipality based on the number of inhabitants. The interviews were conducted by randomly selecting a starting point (household) and interviewing one individual in four subsequent households. In each household, an individual who met the gender and age criteria was selected to be interviewed.
