Democracy and Social Transition in the Baltic Sea Region - Estonia 2001

This is the second survey conducted at the Södertörn University College by the project 'Democracy and Social Transition in the Baltic Sea Region'. The first survey was carried out in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1999. In connection with the follow-up survey in 2001, a similar survey was also carried out in Poland. To address peoples' perception on social and political changes, a number of questions was asked concerning: Political efficacy and political participation, political trust, evaluation of the electoral process, conceptions and evaluation of environmental issues, civil rights and duties, and an evaluation on household economy and economic situation. To acquire comparability with other Citizen Survey Studies conducted at Uppsala University in Sweden and at six university institutes of European countries, the modules are similar to their questions in structure and wordings.

本调研为「波罗的海地区民主与社会转型」项目在瑟德尔特恩大学学院开展的第二项调研。首次调研于1999年在爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚及立陶宛开展。为配合2001年的追踪调研，研究团队同时在波兰开展了同类型调研。为探究民众对社会与政治变革的认知，调研设置了一系列相关问题，涵盖政治效能感与政治参与、政治信任、选举进程评估、环境议题的认知与评价、公民权利与义务，以及家庭经济状况与整体经济形势评价。为与瑞典乌普萨拉大学以及欧洲六国高校院所开展的其他公民调研研究保持可比性，本次调研的问卷模块在结构与措辞上均与上述研究的问卷问题保持一致。
