The Regional Western Sweden SOM Survey 2011

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，最初仅面向哥德堡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塔兰省（Västra Götaland County）及孔斯巴卡市镇（Kungsbacka municipality）。

本次区域调查的核心目的，是助力SOM研究者开展与地方及区域议题相关的态度与行为研究。调查重点关注公共服务与媒体领域，为保证回答数据在区域间以及全瑞典范围内的可比性，多数问卷题目与全国性SOM调查保持一致。

研究目标：探究与地方及区域议题、现象相关的态度与行为。
