Yongin City to Conduct 'Social Survey' from 14th to 28th... Comprehensive Measurement of Living Standards

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will conduct the '2022 Social Survey' from the 14th to the 28th of this month.

The social survey is conducted annually to comprehensively measure the quantitative and qualitative levels of life by focusing on citizens' usual living conditions and satisfaction centered on their residences, and to use the results as rational basic data for policy making.

The survey items consist of 54 questions across five areas: family/household, environment, health/medical care, education, and safety. Forty-one items are common survey items across Gyeonggi Province, and 13 items reflect the characteristics of Yongin City.

The survey items reflecting Yongin City's characteristics include policy tasks necessary for the city, welfare and administrative services, youth policies, use of smart devices, reading habits, and whether or not Yongin Y-Point (Yongin Waipai) is used.

The survey targets are household members aged 15 or older residing in 1,590 sample households extracted within the jurisdiction.

Surveyors carrying identification cards will visit the sample households directly with the survey forms to conduct the survey.

However, for households unwilling to have in-person visits due to COVID-19, a non-face-to-face survey will be conducted online.

The survey content will be used solely for statistical compilation purposes and will be strictly confidential in accordance with Article 33 of the Statistics Act.

The survey results will be announced on the city’s website in December. The city also plans to publish a report.

A city official stated, "The social survey provides meaningful statistics that offer comprehensive and systematic indicators related to citizens' quality of life," and asked, "When surveyors visit, please verify their identity and respond actively."
