Mikrocensus 1971, 3. quarter: Motor Vehicle, Holiday Trips

This special survey contains two objects from the field of traffic statistics: motor vehicle and holiday trips motor vehicle: A comprehensive inventory statistic on all officially sanctioned motor vehicles has existed for decades in Austria but there is not sufficient information on the performance of these vehicles. Only the performances of the carrying trade are statistically documented; on the performance of private vehicles only insufficient appraisals on basis of the fuel consumption exists. However, since not only the number but also the frequency and duration of the usage of the existing vehicles is of importance, Mikrozensus helps closing these information gaps. holiday trips: With the growing prosperity and increasing motorisation changes in holiday habits take place: Apart from the main holiday in summer, more and more people go on a second holiday in winter or on short trips over the weekends. In contrast to the survey on holidays in Dezember 1969 (Mikrozensus MZ6904) the emphasis is now on the short trips such as weekend-trips (as long as they contain one overnight stay outside the residential area)

本专项调查涵盖交通统计领域的两类研究对象：机动车与假日出行机动车。
关于机动车：奥地利针对所有合法登记机动车的全面清查统计已开展数十年，但此类车辆的运行性能信息仍存在不足。目前仅货运机动车的运行性能具备官方统计记录；私家车的运行性能仅能通过燃油消耗量开展有限评估。鉴于不仅机动车的保有数量，其使用频率与单次使用时长同样具有研究价值，微观普查（Mikrozensus）有助于填补此类信息空白。
关于假日出行：随着社会繁荣程度提升与机动车普及率增长，国民假日出行习惯发生显著变化：除夏季主假期外，越来越多民众选择冬季二次度假或周末短途出行。与1969年12月开展的假日出行调查（Mikrozensus MZ6904）相比，本次调查的重点转向短途出行场景，例如包含一次远离常住地过夜的周末出行。
