Resident survey for the municipality of Ooststellingwerf

The Citizen Survey provides insight into the well-being and involvement of neighborhood residents and target groups. By focusing on issues that score relatively low, policy can be tailored to the wishes of residents. With this information, the Municipality of Ooststellingwerf can further increase satisfaction among its citizens.

Method

The survey was designed in accordance with the guidelines for the Citizen Survey drawn up by the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG). All 4,000 residents selected for the Citizen Survey on the basis of the sample were invited by letter to participate in the survey. This letter contained a link to the questionnaire and a unique code that could be used to log in. In order to give residents who do not have access to the internet the opportunity to participate, they could also request a paper version of the questionnaire from Markteffect.
