Developing Questionnaires and Interview Techniques on the Standard of Living and Quality of Life – Teaching and Practical Approaches

摘要

The standard of living and the quality of life are two concepts of great complexity, which are interpreted with the help of questionnaires that are especially prepared for this purpose. The list of elements making up the questionnaire is strictly established, as each questionnaire points to a clearly determined number of dimensions regarding the two concepts. The simpler it may seem, the more complex is the realization of a questionnaire. Even if the methods of organising surveys or various sample plans, etc. represent inside paperwork, another part of the surveys is developed on the field. Therefore, after planning and conceiving the concept survey, we have to accomplish the field survey. The switch to field work requires greater involvement of operators in conducting surveys, as they start dealing with a questionnaire . Generally, successful completion of a survey depends on how the questionnaire is prepared, as well as on the way it is used in the field.
