TESS Network Motivation Survey

The TESS Network Survey Dataset contains the conversational survey structure and the data collected administering the survey to TESS photometer hosts. The study was conducted within the ongoing H2020 project named ACTION (pArticipatory sCience Toolkit agaInst pollutiON) on citizen science. Volunteers participate to citizen science initiatives for multiple reasons: personal enjoyment, desire for improvement or achievement, establishment of personal relationships, care for the environment, etc. Studying motivation and investigating the factors influencing people participation to citizen science projects is an essential aspect in the analysis of citizen science communities. Understanding the reasons that foster people to engage can support the successful design and implementation of effective participant involvement tasks, as well as pave the way for long-term engagement. The goal of the study is to analyse the motivation to participate of a specific citizen science community focused on fighting light pollution: the network of around 120 hosts of the TESS photometers. Volunteers of this network accepted to host and install sensors to monitor sky brightness in order to collect data for measuring the level of light pollution in many areas of the Earth.<br> The volunteers are very diverse: professional astronomers, amateur astronomers, light pollution fighters, astronomical outreach (museum, planetarium, dark sky association, etc.), astro-tourism actors, public administrations and others. Files made available are: <em>conversational_survey_TESS-network.ttl</em> contains the RDF representation of the conversational survey using the Survey Ontology <em>results_survey_TESS-network.ttl </em>contains the RDF representation of the answers collected using the Survey Ontology and referring entities defined in the <em>conversational_survey_TESS-network.ttl</em> file <em>results_survey_TESS-network.csv </em>contains the CSV of the answers collectedTESS网络调查数据集（TESS Network Survey Dataset）包含对话式调查的结构，以及面向TESS光度计宿主开展该调查所收集的全部数据。本研究依托正在推进的H2020框架计划下的公民科学项目ACTION（pArticipatory sCience Toolkit agaInst pollutiON）展开。 志愿者参与公民科学项目的动因多种多样，包括个人娱乐、追求进步与成就、建立人际关系、关爱环境等。对公民科学社区的分析而言，研究参与者动机并探究影响其参与意愿的各类因素，属于核心议题。明晰驱动人们参与的根本原因，既能为高效设计与落地有效的参与者参与任务提供支撑，也可为构建长期参与机制铺平道路。 本研究的目标为：分析聚焦于光污染防治的特定公民科学社区——由约120台TESS光度计宿主组成的网络——的参与动机。该网络的志愿者同意架设并部署传感器，以监测天空亮度，进而收集全球多个区域的光污染水平数据。 该网络的志愿者构成多元，涵盖职业天文学家、业余天文学家、光污染防治从业者、天文科普机构（博物馆、天文馆、暗夜协会等）、天文旅游从业者、公共管理部门及其他群体。 本次公开的数据集文件包括： 1. `conversational_survey_TESS-network.ttl`：采用调查本体（Survey Ontology）构建的对话式调查资源描述框架（RDF）表示文件； 2. `results_survey_TESS-network.ttl`：采用调查本体（Survey Ontology）构建的问卷回收数据资源描述框架（RDF）表示文件，其关联实体定义于`conversational_survey_TESS-network.ttl`文件中； 3. `results_survey_TESS-network.csv`：问卷回收数据的逗号分隔值（CSV）格式文件。
