DS4 Collections of answers to profiling questionnaires
The project develops various questionnaires addressing pilgrims before their travel (in the trip planning phase) and during their trips. The questions look at socio-demographic information, general trip characteristics (e.g. means and length of travel), pilgrim’s interests, reasons and motivations, flexibility regarding dates, amenability to explore the rural surroundings of the official paths, etc. Some questions are related to the effect of COVID-19 on trip planning and realization.
Questionnaires are managed both online and offline. Online versions are managed directly via LimeSurvey, while results of offline questionnaires are also uploaded to LimeSurvey. Surveys are available in different languages: English, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish. During data collection no specific data sampling methods were applied, surveys were promoted via institutional channels. Data collection started Summer 2021 by project consortium members, and is an ongoing process during project lifetime.
