Citizen's Pulse 9/2024

The Citizens' Pulse surveys examine Finnish attitudes and opinions on current issues. Main themes in the surveys include the activity of authorities, future expectations, trust, and the respondents' own state of mind. This collection round also included questions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, living in a rural, urban or archipelago area, racism and issues that the Finnish government should address. The ninth collection round of 2024 surveyed the respondents' trust in other people and various institutions (e.g. the Finnish Government, the health care system, the media, and the Finnish Defence Forces). The respondents were asked to evaluate how fair or unfair they thought Finnish society was at present, and their state of mind was examined with questions on various matters relating to health and well-being. The questions covered, for example, the respondents' own mental well-being, whether they were worried about the adequacy of their income, their confidence in their future, and experiences of stress. Additionally, the respondents were asked to evaluate whether an atmosphere of crisis prevailed amongst Finns. The respondents' views were investigated on which societal issues (e.g. promotion of climate action, national defence, poverty reduction, effective healthcare, operating conditions of businesses and investment opportunities) the Finnish government should focus on in the near future. The next set of questions focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and national security in Finland. The respondents were asked how concerned they were about the crisis in Ukraine and its effects, and whether they were concerned that the war might expand beyond Ukraine. The respondents were also asked whether they were concerned that Russia might take military action against Finland or try to interfere with the functioning of Finnish society. Opinions on the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU and whether Finland should be ready to receive significant numbers of refugees from Ukraine if necessary were charted. The respondents were also asked whether they had noticed any cyber security issues or instances where purposefully misleading claims based on misinformation were spread on social media or online over the previous month. Questions were also asked about racism, prevention of racism, equality between people of different ethnic backgrounds, and relations between different population groups in Finnish society. It was charted whether the respondents have heard of the Government's 'Action, not only words' campaign against racism. Finally, questions were asked about living in different areas of Finland and the attractiveness of different areas. The respondents were asked about their preferred place of residence and how long they had lived in the the countryside, town and archipelago areas. Background variables included the language responded in, the respondent's gender, age group, NUTS3 region of residence, highest level of education, household composition, and perceived financial situation of household."公民脉搏"（Citizens' Pulse）调查旨在探析芬兰民众对当下热点议题的态度与观点。本次调查的核心主题涵盖公共部门履职表现、未来预期、社会信任以及受访者自身心理状态。本批次调查还涵盖了乌克兰危机、不同居住区域（农村、城市与群岛地区）、种族主义以及芬兰政府亟需解决的各类议题相关问题。2024年第九轮调查聚焦受访者对他人及各类公共机构的信任程度，受访对象包括芬兰政府、医疗体系、媒体与芬兰国防军等。受访者需评估当前芬兰社会的公平性，同时调查团队通过与健康及福祉相关的多维度问题了解其心理状态，具体涉及受访者自身的心理健康状况、对收入充足性的担忧程度、对未来的信心水平以及压力体验等。此外，受访者需评估芬兰民众是否正处于危机氛围之中。调查还收集了受访者对于芬兰政府近期应重点关注的社会议题的看法，涵盖气候行动推进、国防建设、减贫工作、优质医疗服务、企业运营环境与投资机遇等。后续问题则围绕乌克兰危机与芬兰国家安全展开：受访者需表明对乌克兰危机及其影响的担忧程度，以及是否担忧战事会蔓延至乌克兰境外；此外，受访者还需回答是否担忧俄罗斯可能对芬兰采取军事行动，或是试图干预芬兰社会的正常运转。本次调查还收集了受访者对欧盟对俄经济制裁的看法，以及芬兰是否应在必要时接收大量乌克兰难民的观点。受访者需回答过去一个月内是否留意到网络安全事件，或是社交媒体及网络平台上传播基于虚假信息的蓄意误导性言论的情况。调查涵盖了种族主义、种族主义预防、不同族裔群体间的平等以及芬兰社会不同人口群体间的关系相关问题，同时统计了受访者是否知晓芬兰政府发起的"不止于口号，付诸行动"反种族主义运动。最后，调查涉及芬兰不同区域的居住体验与区域吸引力相关问题，受访者需说明其理想居住地点，以及在农村、城镇与群岛地区的居住时长。本次调查的背景变量涵盖受访者作答语言、性别、年龄组、居住的NUTS3区域、最高学历水平、家庭构成以及感知到的家庭财务状况。
