The Regional Western Sweden SOM Survey 2001

Western SOM has been conducted yearly since 1992, but was initially limited to residents of Gothenburg and its surrounding municipalities. In 1998, the survey was extended to include the entire Västra Götaland County plus the municipality of Kungsbacka.

The purpose of the regional surveys is to enable SOM researchers to study attitudes and behaviour linked to local and regional issues. They emphasise public services and media, although many of the questions are identical with those used in National SOM in order to make the answers comparable both between the regions and with Sweden at large.

Purpose:

Study attitudes and behaviors that are linked to local and regional issues and phenomena

Western SOM自1992年起每年开展一次，但其初始仅覆盖哥德堡（Gothenburg）及其周边市镇的居民。1998年，该调查的覆盖范围扩展至整个西约特兰郡（Västra Götaland County）以及孔斯巴卡市镇（Kungsbacka）。

本次区域调查的核心目标，是助力SOM研究人员开展与地方及区域议题相关的态度与行为研究。调查重点聚焦公共服务与媒体领域，不过多数问题与全国性SOM（National SOM）调查所使用的问题保持一致，以实现区域间以及全瑞典范围内的回答结果可比性。

研究目标：
探究与地方及区域议题、现象相关的态度与行为。
