[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will conduct a social survey this year. The social survey has been conducted annually since 2014 to understand citizens' social interests and awareness, serving as basic data for policy development and research.


The city announced on the 19th that from the 20th of this month to the 7th of next month, it will conduct this year's social survey targeting household members aged 13 and older in 1,800 households in the region as a sample.


The social survey will be conducted through face-to-face interviews, where investigators directly visit the sampled households to fill out the survey forms.


The survey covers 69 items across seven categories: ▲individual ▲household and family ▲health ▲environment ▲social welfare ▲safety ▲government and social participation.


To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the city plans to monitor the daily health status of investigators and ensure that safety management rules such as mask-wearing by investigators and maintaining safe distances with respondents are followed during the survey.


The data collected through the social survey will be strictly protected under Article 33 (Protection of Confidentiality) of the Statistics Act and will be used only for policy formulation and research.



Jeong Hee-sang, the city's Information and Statistics Officer, said, "We ask for your understanding as we conduct the social survey during these difficult times due to COVID-19. However, since the survey results will be used for policy development closely related to citizens' lives, we hope for your active cooperation in this survey."
