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 numerous 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, renewable energy) in electricity generation.

Opinions on the Finnish Parliament's decision to grant licences for two new nuclear power plants were charted as well as views on the preferred number of licences. Trust in various institutions and organisations as sources of information (e.g. different ministries, the government, energy companies, STUK - Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Greenpeace, WWF, the EU and various energy sector organisations) was surveyed.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, age group, size of R's municipality of residence, region (NUTS3) of residence, basic and vocational education, occupational status and economic activity, and the political party R would have voted for if the parliamentary elections had been held at the time of the survey.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified

The questionnaire was sent to approximately 10,500 persons aged 18-70, randomly sampled from Finland's population register. As with the previous studies, three samples representing the Finnish population, the inhabitants of Loviisa and the inhabitants of Eurajoki were drawn. There were also four additional samples for the 2011 study representing the inhabitants of Rauma, Eura, Luvia and Nakkila. The entire Finnish population, including both Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking persons but excluding the Åland Islands residents, was represented by a sample of 6,000 persons. The sizes of the samples representing the inhabitants of Loviisa and Eurajoki were 1,000 persons for each. The sizes of the additional samples for the 2011 study were 1,000 for Rauma and 500 for Eura, Luvia and Nakkila, each.

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 2,091 and the total response rate was 19.9%. Response rates varied somewhat between the samples: for the sample representing the entire Finnish population it was 19.4%, for Loviisa 20.6% % and for Eurajoki 17.3%. The response rates for the municipalities in the additional samples were: 20.6% for Rauma, 17.6% for Eura, 25.4% for Luvia and 23.2% for Nakkila. In 10 responses (which are included in the total response rate), the municipality of residence had not been disclosed.
