[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City will conduct the '2022 Business Survey' from February 9 to March 6.


The 2022 Business Survey is prepared to be used as basic data for economic policy and will be conducted on all businesses engaged in industrial activities in Ulsan.


Ulsan City has organized a total of 239 personnel, completed preparation and specialized training to ensure smooth survey progress.


The survey method includes face-to-face visits to businesses and non-face-to-face surveys such as telephone or fax surveys to reduce the burden on respondents due to the COVID-19 situation.


This survey also includes one-person media such as BJs and YouTubers. Study rooms, home-based shopping malls without physical locations or signs, and unmanned stores operated by unmanned order machines without employees are also subject to the survey.


There are a total of 10 survey items, with the business operation location newly added. 'Business representative,' 'establishment year and month,' 'organizational form,' and 'sales amount' have significantly reduced respondents' burden through administrative data linkage.


Also, due to the recent increase in COVID-19 spread, survey personnel were hired as fully vaccinated, and COVID tests were conducted before the survey.



An official from Ulsan City said, "The reliability of statistical survey results depends on accurate responses from respondents," and added, "Although these are difficult times, we ask for active participation in the survey so that it can be used as basic data for economic policy."
