WA RCO SCORP 2013 Field Definitions

This dataset is a survey of outdoor recreation demand which includes responses from 3,114 residents of Washington state who were interviewed by phone between August 27 and October 26, 2012. The telephone survey was conducted using random digit dialing. To meet the regional planning requirements of the project, the sample was stratified by the 10 planning regions in Washington (see the 2013 SCORP Plan, Appendix A for survey methodology and map). The consultant obtained a minimum of 300 completed interviews in each region. Within each region, the results were weighted by demographic characteristics so that the sample was representative of residents of that region. For statewide results, each region was weighted to be in proper proportion to the state population as a whole. Study findings are representative at the statewide level as well as by planning region. Any manipulation or analysis of the data should take this sampling approach and weighting into account.

本数据集为一项关于户外休闲需求的调查，其中包含了对华盛顿州3,114名居民的访谈回应，这些受访者于2012年8月27日至10月26日期间通过电话接受调查。该电话调查采用随机数字拨号的方式进行。为满足项目对区域规划的需求，样本根据华盛顿州的10个规划区域进行分层（参见2013年SCORP计划附录A中的调查方法和地图）。顾问在每个区域内确保至少完成了300次访谈。在每个区域内，结果根据人口统计学特征进行加权，以确保样本能够代表该区域的居民。对于全州范围内的结果，每个区域均按其在全州总人口中的适当比例进行加权。研究结果既代表全州水平，也代表各个规划区域。对数据的任何处理或分析都应考虑到这种抽样方法和加权方式。
