Summary note

The Eurobarometer series is a unique cross-national and cross-temporal survey program conducted on behalf of the European Commission. These surveys regularly monitor public opinion in the European Union (EU) member countries and consist of standard modules and special topic modules. The standard modules address attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as respondent and household demographics. The special topic modules address such topics as agriculture, education, natural environment and resources, public health, public safety and crime, and science and technology. Eurobarometer 83.2 covered the following special topics:(1) Perception of Security, (2) Civil Protection, and (3) Humanitarian Aid. Respondents were asked for their opinions regarding the most important challenges and threats facing EU citizens, the performance of police and other law enforcement authorities, respondents personal sense of security, the role different groups and individuals should play in promoting security, and the impact of new technologies on security. Further topics included evaluating the EU's response to natural and man-made disasters, communication regarding risk of disaster, governmental preparation and prevention of disasters, and potential for negative economic impact caused by a disaster. Additional questions asked for respondents views regarding humanitarian aid funding, including the importance of the EU's funding, the efficiency of various groups and organizations providing such funding, and accessibility of information about funding. Demographic and other background information collected includes age, gender, nationality, marital status, occupation, political preference, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or mobile telephone and other goods, difficulties in paying bills, level in society, and Internet use. In addition, country-specific data includes type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36666
