The Regional Western Sweden SOM Survey 2016

This study is part of the collection The Regional Western Sweden SOM survey

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Description:

Western SOM has been conducted yearly since 1992, but was initially limited to residents of Gothenburg and its surrounding municipalities. In 1998, the survey was extended to include the entire Västra Götaland County plus the municipality of Kungsbacka.

The purpose of the regional surveys is to enable SOM researchers to study attitudes and behaviour linked to local and regional issues. They emphasise public services and media, although many of the questions are identical with those used in National SOM in order to make the answers comparable both between the regions and with Sweden at large.

Subject area:

media, political behaviour and attitudes, leisure, tourism and sport (CESSDA Topic Classification)
Political Science, Media Studies, Social Sciences (The Swedish standard of fields of research 2011)

Keywords:

housing, occupations, political party, public sector, environment, environmental degradation, trust, european union, political interest, local government services, public transport, medical care, public services, household composition, news, privatization, income, political participation, sick leave, religious practice, democracy, internal politics, internet use, dental care, politicians, local government organizations, social participation, working conditions, local community facilities, clubs, leisure time activities, educational levels, traffic, political attitudes, state health services, social networks, CORS
