Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted Finnish attitudes to energy production and energy strategy. The data are part of an extensive survey series launched in 1983. The respondents' conceptions, opinions, beliefs, assessments, attitudes, and knowledge about energy issues were studied by presenting them with a number of statements relating to energy production. They were also asked whether Finland should increase or decrease the use of certain energy sources (e.g. coal, peat, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower, wind power, bioenergy) in electricity generation. The reliability of various sources of information (e.g. different ministries, energy companies, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) and various organisations) was surveyed, as well as views on realising different hydropower projects (e.g. building the Vuotos reservoir, additional building of waterways that already produce hydropower, and abolishing the Act on the Protection of Rapids). Finally, the respondents told their opinions on the allocation of funds between various objectives, such as employment, child day care, environmental protection, and national defence.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, size of municipality of residence, region of residence, education, occupational status, and which political party R would vote for if the parliamentary elections were held at the time of the survey.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified

The questionnaire was sent to 7,700 persons aged 18 - 70, randomly sampled from Finland's population register. Altogether, three separate samples were drawn. The entire Finnish population, including both Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking persons but excluding the Åland Islands residents, was represented by a sample of 5,500 persons. One additional sample of 1,200 persons represented the inhabitants of Loviisa, and another of 1,000 persons represented the inhabitants of Eurajoki. This year, the Loviisa sample was regionally larger than before because of the consolidation of Loviisa and three other municipalities (Pernaja, Ruotsinpyhtää, Liljendal) going into effect at the beginning of 2010. The respondents received either a Finnish or Swedish questionnaire according to their mother tongue.

No reminder letters were sent but the sample size was increased to reach the target number of responses. The number of adequately completed questionnaires was 1,501 and the total response rate was 19.5. The response rates varied slightly between the samples: for the sample representing the entire Finnish population it was 19.5%, for Loviisa 19.7% and for Eurajoki 19.5%.
