Mikrocensus 1970, 2. quarter: Use of Property, Farming on Sideline Basis

This special survey is on the topic of the use of property and the assistance of people, whose chief occupation is not at a agricultural or silvicultural enterprise, in agricultural and silvicultural enterprises. The survey is conducted together with the agricultural and silvicultural establishment census (reference date: 1st June 1970), which covers all agricultural and silvicultural enterprises larger than ½ hectare. This prohibits the census the use of gardens and allotment gardens unconnected with an agricultural and silvicultural enterprises. However, since these gardens are of great politico-economic importance, information on them is gathered via the Mikrozensus with the method of sampling. The second part of the questions serves the collection of the characteristics of a group of persons that poses numerous economic and social questions: “part-time farmers”. Especially the location of the (non-agricultural) workplace and the transit time needed to get there are of interest.
