Survey on mine-water geothermal in Poland

The study in three coal mining regions: Lower Silesia, Upper Silesia and Lublin (each N=500) was conducted using Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI). The questionnaire includes the block of questions concerning mine water awareness, climate change and local/place attachment. The survey online took 15 to 20 minutes and was prepared after in-depth pilot research among participants with different education level from the mining regions. We used the uninformed approach to the survey, so there were no additional questions nor requirements for participants prior to the survey. Since the mine water energy extraction is a technical issue that is neither well known nor commonly used in the narratives of Poles, we tested survey questions with pilot cognitive interviews to remove the technical language and reduce the number of replies without understanding. The interviews were conducted with 10 participants in July 2020 and due to the pilot's recommendations and results, we implemented additional changes in the final version of the questionnaire. Specifically, some questions were simplified and the background information on mine water extraction was simplified and shortened The survey CAWI was completed by adult people aged 18-65 (N=1500) between 14-19 August 2020 by Kantar Research Agency. The sample was constructed using KANTAR’s internet panel profiled for the basic demographics, such as gender, age, and the town size. Particular attention paid to the quality of the panel is reflected in its structure. Kantar’s internet panel reflects the profile of the Polish population of Internet users in terms of its participants’ demographic characteristics. The sample from each region was 500 respondents and among the full sample (N=1500) we reached only 192 people who chose to call “mining areas” as best description of the area where they live. Although the three voivodships were chosen due to its mining industry the selected sample covers the region in general in which mining communities are statically not fully represented. We also asked about the subjective perception of the area respondents live in, which we further analysed with spatial distribution. The dataset was created within SECURe project (Subsurface Evaluation of CCS and Unconventional Risks) - https://www.securegeoenergy.eu/. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 764531

本研究在三个煤矿区——下西里西亚、上西里西亚和卢布林（每个地区样本量均为500人）进行，采用计算机辅助网络访谈（CAWI）方式。问卷包含关于煤矿水认知、气候变化及地方/地域依恋的问答模块。在线调查耗时约15至20分钟，并在对来自矿区不同教育水平的参与者进行深入预研究后编制而成。本调查采用无指导方法，因此调查前无需对参与者提出额外问题或要求。鉴于煤矿水能源提取是一项在波兰人叙述中既不为人所熟知也鲜少应用的技术问题，我们通过预试认知访谈测试调查问题，以消除技术术语并减少对理解不足的回复数量。访谈于2020年7月对10名参与者进行，并根据预试的建议和结果，对问卷的最终版本进行了相应的调整。具体而言，部分问题得以简化，关于煤矿水提取的背景信息也得到了简化和缩短。Kantar研究机构于2020年8月14日至19日完成了CAWI调查，调查对象为18至65岁的成年人（样本量N=1500）。样本的构建基于KANTAR的互联网面板，该面板针对基本人口统计特征进行了画像，如性别、年龄和城镇规模。对面板质量的重视体现在其结构上。Kantar的互联网面板在参与者的人口统计学特征方面反映了波兰互联网用户的特征。每个地区的样本量为500名受访者，在全部样本（N=1500）中，仅有192人选择将他们居住的地区称为“矿区”。尽管由于采矿业的考虑选择了这三个省份，但所选样本涵盖了更广泛的地区，其中采矿社区在统计数据中并未得到充分代表。我们还询问了受访者对自己居住地区的主体感知，并进一步通过空间分布进行了分析。该数据集是在SECURe项目（CCS和非常规风险的地下评价）框架内创建的——https://www.securegeoenergy.eu/。该项目已获得欧盟“地平线2020”研究与创新计划的资金支持，资助协议编号为764531。
