Mikrocensus 1995, 2. quarter: Persons with Physical Disabilities

There have already been two Mikrozensus special survey on the topic of physical handicaps in 1967 (Mikrozensus MZ7604) and 1986 (Mikrozensus MZ8604). In the course of the actual survey it is again evaluated how many Austrians suffer from impairment of seeing, hearing or movement as well as who suffers from a chronic disease. Updated numbers and information on the living conditions of handicapped persons are needed to make medical and social measures of improvement possible. Great efforts are expended to avoid discrimination resulting from handicaps in public as well as in private life. Some question aim at presenting results on the personal activities handicapped persons need help with. Moreover, it is evaluated whether this help is provided by relatives or friends and/or if the person makes use of social services. The results make the appraisal of the current and future need for outpatient facilities for physical impaired people possible. In addition, the data is used for planning and constructing special technical aids which facilitate leisure time activities and the daily job routine. Another aspect of this survey is - similar to all other Mikrozensus special programs - the grouping of the results according to certain characteristics of the life situation of the interviewee (age, social standing, size of the household, etc.) which would not be possible in an administrative statistic.

此前，奥地利已分别于1967年（Mikrozensus MZ7604）与1986年（Mikrozensus MZ8604）开展两次以肢体残疾为主题的Mikrozensus专项调查。本次调查将再次评估奥地利境内存在视力、听力或肢体运动障碍的人群数量，以及罹患慢性疾病的人口情况。获取残障人士生活状况的最新数据与相关信息，可为制定完善医疗与社会改善措施提供依据。为避免残障人士在公共及私人生活中遭遇歧视，相关方投入了大量工作。部分问卷问题旨在统计残障人士在个人日常活动中所需的帮扶类型。此外，本次调查还将评估这类帮扶是否由亲友提供，以及受访者是否使用了社会服务资源。本次调查结果可用于评估肢体残障人士当前及未来对门诊康复设施的需求。此外，该数据集还将用于规划与研发可辅助残障人士开展休闲活动及日常工作的专项技术辅助器具。与其他所有Mikrozensus专项调查项目一致，本次调查的另一核心内容是，根据受访者的生活境况特征（如年龄、社会地位、家庭规模等）对调查结果进行分组统计——这类细分统计在行政统计体系中无法实现。
