Attitudes to and use of Electric Scooters in New Zealand Cities

There are two different versions of the dataset - one contains the value labels for responses, which will be most useful if you want to analyse in Excel. The other contains numeric values if you want to import into another statistical package.This survey was conducted by researchers in the Department of Geography at the University of Canterbury. We were interested in understanding how the electric scooters, recently introduced in New Zealand, are being used and what respondents think about them. We are interested in perceptions and experiences, whether respondents have used a scooter yourself or not. This is part of a wider project about the environment, health and social implications of new forms of transport.The project was approved by the University of Canterbury Human Ethics Committee (Ref: HEC 2018/49/LR-PS). The survey used a convenience sample as is not a representative population survey. <br>Please read the notes included in the dataset before use and contact the authors with any queriesBoth authors now work at different institutions. <br>Notes for using this dataset:-There are some missing values. We have retained cases where a minimum number of questions were answered, but have not deleted cases listwise so as to preserve potentially useful information. However, please be aware of missing data in analysing this data.-The survey is not representative. A comparison with national datasets will be available shortly, but do not attempt to use this data to represent the attitudes of the population. It is more useful for understanding attitudes of e-scooter users and looking at associations between variables, rather than drawing headline conclusions from one variable.-The sample frame was not a representative population sample. We used convenience sampling through existing networks and social media. This is not a robust or ideal approach to social surveys - however, given time and resourse constraints we opted for an approach that would allow us to collect some early insights into e-scooter use. -We have removed demographic information (other than age and gender) and open-text responses to preserve anonymity. If you require access to these please contact the researchers to discuss.-We suggest contacting us if you are unsure how to interpret the data.-The question numbers and questionnaire is provided.-The questionnaire was conducted online in February and March 2019. -The recommended citation for this dataset is: Curl, A., &amp; Fitt, H.

本数据集包含两个不同版本：其一附带响应项的数值标签，适合在Excel中开展分析；其二仅包含纯数值数据，适用于导入其他统计分析软件。
本调查由坎特伯雷大学地理系研究者发起，旨在探究新西兰新近引入的电动滑板车的使用现状，以及受访者对其的认知与评价。研究关注受访者的使用体验与态度倾向，无论受访者是否亲身使用过该类滑板车。本研究是关于新型交通方式的环境、健康与社会影响的大型研究项目的组成部分。
本项目已获得坎特伯雷大学人类伦理委员会批准，编号为HEC 2018/49/LR-PS。
本次调查采用便利抽样方法，并非具有全国代表性的人口抽样调查。
使用本数据集前请仔细阅读附带的说明文件，如有任何疑问，请联系作者。两位作者目前供职于不同机构。
数据集使用说明如下：
1. 存在部分缺失值：我们保留了至少完成了少量题项作答的样本，未采用逐项删除法处理缺失值，以保留潜在的有效信息，但请在数据分析过程中注意缺失数据的存在。
2. 本调查样本不具备代表性：与国家代表性数据集的对比数据即将公开，请勿使用本数据推断全体人口的态度倾向。本数据集更适用于理解电动滑板车使用者的态度特征，以及探究变量间的关联关系，而非仅针对单一变量得出普适性结论。
3. 抽样框架并非代表性人口样本：我们通过现有社交网络与社交媒体渠道开展便利抽样，这并非社会调查中稳健且理想的抽样方案，但受限于时间与资源约束，我们最终选择该方式以获取电动滑板车使用情况的初步洞察。
4. 为保护受访者匿名性，我们已移除除年龄与性别之外的所有人口统计学信息，以及开放式文本回复内容。若您需要获取此类数据，请联系研究者进行协商。
5. 若对数据解读存在任何疑问，建议与我方取得联系。
6. 问卷题项编号与完整问卷文本已随附于数据集内。
7. 本次线上调查开展于2019年2月至3月。
