Community Life Survey, 2013-2014

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The <em>Community Life Survey</em> (CLS) is a household survey conducted in England, tracking the latest trends and developments across areas key to encouraging social action and empowering communities, including: volunteering and charitable giving; views about the local area; community cohesion and belonging; community empowerment and participation; influencing local decisions and affairs; and subjective well-being and loneliness.</p>
<p>The CLS was first commissioned by the Cabinet Office in 2012. From 2016-17, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) took over responsibility for publishing results. During 2020, the DCMS also commissioned the Community Life COVID-19 Re-contact Survey (CLRS) (SN 8781) to provide data on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected volunteering, charitable giving, social cohesion, wellbeing and loneliness in England.</p>
<p><em>Background</em><br>Up to 2015-16, the survey used a face-to-face methodology. Following thorough testing (experimental online versions of the survey were released for 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16), the CLS moved online from 2016-17 onwards, with an end to the previous face-to-face method. The survey uses a push-to-web methodology (with paper mode for those who are not digitally engaged). The survey informs and directs policy and action in these areas;</p><ul>
<li>to provide data of value to all users, including public bodies, external stakeholders and the public; and</li>
<li>underpin further research and debate on building stronger communities.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Community Life Survey incorporates a small number of priority measures from the Citizenship Survey, which ran from 2001-2011, conducted by the then Department for Communities and Local Government. These measures were incorporated in the Community Life Survey so that trends in these issues could continue to be tracked over time. (The full Citizenship Survey series is held at the UK Data Archive under GNs 33347 and 33474.)</p>
<p>Further information may be found on the GOV.UK <a title="Community Life Survey" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey">Community Life Survey</a> webpage.</p><br>The 2013-14 survey covers May 2013 to April 2014 and forms 'Official Statistics', meaning that it meets the high standards of quality set out by the <a href="http://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/assessment/code-of-practice/" title="Code of Practice for Official Statistics">Code of Practice for Official Statistics</a>. <br>
<br>
<b>End User Licence and Special Licence data</b><br>
Users should note that there are two versions of each <i>Community Life Survey</i> dataset. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version. The SL version contains more detailed variables relating to: social class; ethnicity; religion; sexual identity and lower level geographical classifications.<br>
<br>
The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. Therefore, users are strongly advised to order the standard version of the data.<br>
<br>
The SL version of the <i>Community Life Survey, 2013-2014</i> study is held under SN 7561.<br>

**社区生活调查（Community Life Survey，CLS）**是一项在英格兰开展的家庭追踪调查，旨在追踪助力社会行动与社区赋能的核心领域的最新趋势与发展动态，涵盖：志愿服务与慈善捐赠、对本地社区的观感、社区凝聚力与归属感、社区赋能与参与、地方决策与事务影响力，以及主观幸福感与孤独感。

该调查最初由英国内阁办公厅于2012年委托开展。2016至2017年起，数字、文化、媒体与体育部（Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport，DCMS）承接并负责发布调查结果。2020年期间，该部还委托开展了**社区生活新冠疫情回访调查（Community Life COVID-19 Re-contact Survey，CLRS，SN 8781）**，以获取新冠疫情对英格兰地区志愿服务、慈善捐赠、社会凝聚力、幸福感与孤独感产生影响的相关数据。

### 调查方法沿革
截至2015至2016年，该调查均采用面对面访谈的方式开展。在经过对线上调查版本的充分测试（2013至2014、2014至2015及2015至2016年度均推出了线上测试版）后，CLS自2016至2017年度起转为线上调查，不再沿用此前的面对面访谈模式。本次调查采用推送式线上调查方法（为未触达数字渠道的受访者保留纸质问卷选项）。

本调查的核心目标包括：
1. 为包括公共机构、外部利益相关方及普通公众在内的所有使用者提供具有应用价值的调研数据；
2. 为构建更紧密社区的相关研究与讨论提供支撑。

社区生活调查纳入了2001至2011年间由时任社区与地方政府部开展的**公民身份调查（Citizenship Survey）**中的部分核心指标，以确保相关议题的趋势能够得到长期追踪。（完整的公民身份调查系列数据集由英国数据档案馆馆藏，馆藏编号为GN 33347与GN 33474。）

2013至2014年度的调查覆盖时段为2013年5月至2014年4月，属于官方统计数据（Official Statistics），符合《官方统计业务守则（Code of Practice for Official Statistics）》所规定的高质量标准。

### 最终用户许可与特殊许可数据集
使用者需注意，每一份社区生活调查数据集均包含两个版本：其一为遵循标准最终用户许可协议（End User Licence，EUL）的公开版本，其二为特殊许可（Special Licence，SL）版本。特殊许可版本包含更多细分变量，涉及社会阶层、族裔、宗教信仰、性取向以及更低层级的地理分类信息。

特殊许可数据集的获取限制相较于标准EUL版本更为严格。有意申请特殊许可版本的用户需额外填写申请表，并向数据持有方明确说明需要使用额外变量的具体原因，方可获得使用权限。因此，我们强烈建议使用者优先订购标准版本的数据集。

2013至2014年度社区生活调查的特殊许可版本数据集馆藏编号为SN 7561。
