[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun announced on the 20th that it will conduct the ‘2020 Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census’ targeting all farms, forestry households, fishing households, and administrative villages in the area in cooperation with Statistics Korea until the 18th of next month.

From the 23rd of this month to the 11th of next month, a non-face-to-face internet survey will begin, and from the 1st to the 18th of next month, interview surveys will be conducted through direct visits by investigators.

The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census is a large-scale survey conducted every five years under the supervision of Statistics Korea to establish and evaluate rural development plans, serve as various academic research data, and be used as a sampling frame.

In particular, starting this year, internet and tablet PC surveys have been fully introduced and will be conducted electronically. The survey form has been designed to reflect social changes and policy demands in rural areas, and it is expected to produce high-quality statistics through the fusion and complementation of administrative and private data.

The survey items include a total of 127 items across 4 categories: 15 common items for agriculture, forestry, and fisheries such as household member status; 31 items in the agricultural sector; 8 items in the forestry sector; 14 items in the marine and inland fisheries sector; and 15 items in the regional survey.

For this survey, Boseong-gun recruited a total of 84 investigators last October and plans to conduct training on the purpose of the survey, survey methods, COVID-19 prevention guidelines, and safety from the 23rd to the 27th.

A county official said, “This year’s Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census is facing more challenging survey conditions than ever due to COVID-19, so we actively request the participation of subjects in the non-face-to-face internet survey,” and added, “Investigators will also do their best to ensure a safe statistical survey by strictly adhering to safety guidelines.”
