The Community SOM Survey 2004: Tjörn

Every year since 1986, the SOM Institute carries out a nationwide survey, National SOM (Riks-SOM), in which people are asked questions about politics, society, their use of media, public service, the environment, risks, new media technology and their leisure-time activities. Since 1992 a corresponding survey is carried out in Göteborg and its surrounding communities: Western SOM (Väst-SOM). Starting in 1996, a local study, Community SOM (Kom-SOM), is carried out in different municipalities surrounding Göteborg as well as town districts in the city of Göteborg. The results from these surveys shed light on three levels of society: the national, the regional and the municipal.
The 2004 questionnaire consists of seven parts: Mass media; Politics and society; Society and service; Environmental and lifestyle issues; Municipal information; Working life; and background.
The 2004 municipal survey was conducted in collaboration with Kinnmark Information.

自1986年起，SOM研究所（SOM Institute）每年都会开展一项全国性调查——全国SOM调查（National SOM，瑞典语原称Riks-SOM），向受访者询问有关政治、社会、媒介使用习惯、公共服务认知、环境议题、风险认知、新媒体技术以及休闲活动等方面的问题。1992年起，研究团队在哥德堡市及其周边社区开展了对应调查：西部SOM调查（Väst-SOM）。1996年起，针对哥德堡市辖区及周边的不同市镇，启动了地方性研究项目——社区SOM调查（Kom-SOM）。上述三项调查的研究结果可从全国、区域及市镇三个社会维度揭示社会发展现状。
2004年版的调查问卷共分为七个模块：大众媒介、政治与社会、社会与公共服务、环境与生活方式议题、市镇信息、职场生活以及背景信息。
2004年的市镇级SOM调查由Kinnmark信息公司（Kinnmark Information）合作开展。
