Abstract:
Abstract The notion of improving or increasing public participation in transport planning has led a number of those working in the field to borrow attitude research methods developed in marketing in other sectors of the economy. Such research can be helpful at either the design or the evaluation stages of planning a change in transport supply. But it can give spurious results unless those employing the research understand fully the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques that have been chosen. This paper outlines the main elements of theory of attitude structure which must be borne in mind when employing such research. Firstly, researchers must understand the difference between belief and evaluation and be clear about which they are trying to measure and what it will tell them. Secondly, the object to which the attitude is being measured should be both very specific and salient to those being interviewed. Thirdly, the situation of the respondent will interact with attitude as articulated in a survey and should be as thoroughly taken account of as possible. This will define the nature of the interest he or she has in the policy or outcome under discussion. This having been said, there are numerous variants on the way in which these prerequisites can be taken into account. This can be done either during the questioning process, at the stage of sample selection, or through multi‐phase survey. The authors illustrate this point by reference to work undertaken in Munich and in the Strathclyde region.Keywords:

In a rapidly changing information systems (IS) field the pressure to maintain currency in the curriculum is ever present. The responsibility of making periodic revisions to IS curriculum rests with both academia and industry. In conducting periodic assessment of necessary curriculum changes it is important to get inputs from relevant respondent groups. However, the overuse of respondent groups could result in less useful assessments. It is conceivable that the perceptions (i.e., the input) of some respondent groups may be quite similar and in that case we will be able to use them interchangeably thus avoiding the overuse of the respondent groups. This research studied the similarities among six respondent groups that are typically used in curriculum research - (1) students about to graduate, (2) recent alumni, (3) supervisors of the graduates, (4) IS faculty, (5) non-IS faculty, and (6) program directors/coordinators. We found significant similarities among respondent groups. Our research findings will he...

Number of the elderly population and rapid growth also increase a variety of issues, so that the elderly need to get serious attention from all sectors as efforts to improve welfare of the elderly. One of serious attentions to the elderly is the implementation of the service through group (IHC) of elderly involving all relevant sectors. This study aims to analyze the social determinants of elderly active participation health in IHC in Balongsari Village of Surabaya. The design is observational analytic. This study used cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted to 96 respondent with sampling technique of Systematic random sampling. Results of the study showed domestic activity 65 (67.7%) and productive activity 31 respondent (32.3%). 59 respondent (61.5%) received good support, and 37 (38.5%) received adequate support. 90 respondent (93.8%) with close distance to the house did not use vehicles, 3 respondent (3.1%) with far distance used vehicle, 2 respondent (2.1%) with close distance used vehicle, and the rest was 1 respondent (1.0%) with far distance did not use vehicle. 59 respondent (61.5%) had good knowledge, 34 respondent (35.4%) had adequate knowledge and 3 respondent (3.1%) had less knowledge. 96 respondent (100%) had supportive attitude. 77 respondent (80.2%) had active participation and 19 respondent (19.8%) did not participate actively. Results of Chi-Square analysis and Sperman’s rho analysis indicate with degree of significance 5%, there is a significant relationship between education, employment, social support, knowledge and attitude with elderly active participation in IHC with value p = 0.000 ( p < 0.05 ). Most elderly participated were female elderly, graduated in Senior High School, had domestic activity, received good support, close distance without using vehicle, well knowledge and had supportive support.

Abstract Respondent burden is the effort, in terms of time and cost, required by respondents to provide answers to a survey or census. Burden is a multidimensional concept that includes length of an interview, frequency of being interviewed, the effort to retrieve the data asked for, and the stress encountered in providing the data. Thus, respondent burden has actual and perceived components and has the potential to introduce nonresponse and measurement error. This article presents a section on reducing respondent burden using good web questionnaire design practices and concludes with a discussion of the Consumer Expenditure Survey ( CES ), which has introduced several modes of data collection to reduce respondent burden as well as nonresponse and measurement error.

This paper calls for the enfranchisement of respondents into research decision making. Respondent participation is one way to overcome respondent posturing to control information. Respondent posturing is produced when researchers create an unbalanced exchange where respondents have no motivation to participate, or when, through their use of rewards, researchers change the rules of the game. Typical researcher-respondent relations are explored in relation to respondent posturing, and the problems and prospects of using respondent participation to create a more open and productive research relationship are examined. We conclude by pointing to respondent relations as an area in which social researchers need to be trained.

This study aims to see an overview of the socialization of deaf children at home, school, and in the surrounding environment. This study uses a case study approach. A qualitative approach is used to obtain more complete and accurate data about the socialization of deaf children, which is very limited, and because of the limitations of the research subjects.The results of the study concluded that there were several assumptions about the deaf background of the respondents that could be identified, namely due to genetic factors, consuming too many drugs since childhood, or because of step. The impact of deafness is that the respondent is unable to use spoken language, the respondent is only able to use language cues in communicating with other people, the respondent's parents can accept the respondent's condition as it is, the respondent's parents remain optimistic so that. The respondent's friends regard the respondent as other normal friends, the difference is only the way of communicating with them, but there is no treatment of the respondent. The educators experienced difficulties in interacting with the respondents. The educators experienced difficulties in providing an assessment of the respondents' achievements.
