Environment, 2000, Norwegian part of ISSP

This survey is carried out on the basis of the research collaboration in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organisation that prepares and coordinates annual surveys in its member countries, mainly within the fields of political science and sociology. The topic of the surveys varies, but are repeated at intervals of a few years. In this way, changes in behavioral patterns and attitudes over time as well as differences between countries and cultures,
are possible to be detected and measured.

The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) became a member of ISSP in 1989 and have since been responsible for carrying out the surveys in Norway. In connection to the survey, Norwegian researchers are invited to add supplementary questions to the Norwegian respondents.

In 2000, the objective was to collect data on the perceptions of and attitudes towards values, nature and environment, environmental efficacy, knowledge of environment and science, risks of certain environmental problems, the environmental effort and involvement of individuals, business and state, trust in environmental information from different groups/sources and individual individual participation in environmental issues. NSD and ISSP conducted a similar survey in 1993.

The Norwegian additional part was in 2000 developed in collaboration with Pål Kjetil Botvar, KIFO (Centre for Church Research) og Gunnar Grendstad, Department of Comparative Politics, UiB. The questions in the Norwegian part deals with (among other issues) popular religiousity and New Age-influenced religiousity.

本调查基于‘国际社会调查项目’（ISSP）的研究合作开展。ISSP是一个国际组织，负责在其成员国中筹备并协调年度调查，研究领域主要集中于政治学与社会学。调查主题虽各有不同，但会每隔数年重复进行。通过这种方式，能够检测并衡量行为模式与态度随时间的变化，以及不同国家和文化之间的差异。

挪威社会科学数据服务中心（NSD）自1989年起成为ISSP成员，此后一直负责挪威境内的调查实施工作。在调查过程中，挪威研究人员会受邀向挪威受访者补充额外问题。

2000年的调查旨在收集以下方面的数据：对价值观、自然与环境的认知与态度，环境效能感，环境与科学知识，特定环境问题的风险，个人、企业及国家在环境事务中的努力与参与度，对不同群体/来源环境信息的信任度，以及个人在环境议题中的参与情况。NSD与ISSP曾于1993年开展过类似调查。

2000年的挪威补充部分是与Pål Kjetil Botvar（教会研究中心，KIFO）及卑尔根大学（UiB）比较政治学系的Gunnar Grendstad合作开发的。挪威补充部分的问题（除其他议题外）涉及大众宗教信仰及受新纪元运动（New Age）影响的宗教信仰。
