Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted the respondents' attitudes towards municipal administration, service provision, and elections. First, the respondents were presented with a set of attitudinal statements on municipal administration and services. Their views were also queried on various municipalities, municipal decision-making, and service provision. In addition, the respondents were queried how adequate or inadequate different services in their municipalities were in terms of demand. They were also asked whether the responsibility for organising municipal services should be assumed by individual municipalities or jointly by several municipalities, and whether private companies and organisations should provide municipal services more in the future.

Further questions charted the respondents' willingness to hold various municipal elected offices, for example standing as a candidate in municipal elections or acting in a department of a political party. They were also presented with a list of various characteristics of local councillors and asked which characteristics they would like to see in their own councillors. In addition, the respondents gave their opinions about various statements on municipal management and municipal elections. Finally, the adult respondents evaluated themselves as voters.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, education, occupational status, household composition, region of residence (NUTS3), and household gross income.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Multistage

The sample was drawn in three stages. In the first stage, the number of subjects required by the survey was regionally divided by major regions (NUTS2). In the second stage, the number of subjects was further subdivided within each major region by the type of neighbourhood. The type of neighbourhood was determined in two different ways: city municipalities were divided into large and small cities according to their population size, and rural municipalities into three groups based on the occupational structure of the population. The survey municipalities were representatively selected on the basis of the forementioned strata. In the third stage, starting points (addresses) were selected in each municipality based on their population size. The interviews were conducted by using random-walk method. Four interviews were made starting from each of the randomly selected starting points. One member corresponding to the age and gender eligibility criteria was chosen for the interview from each sample household.
