Description

Description. This project contains the dataset relative to the Galatanet survey, conducted in 2009 and 2010 at the Galatasaray University in Istanbul (Turkey). The goal of this survey was to retrieve information regarding the social relationships between students, their feeling regarding the university in general, and their purchase behavior. The survey was conducted during two phases: the first one in 2009 and the second in 2010.

The dataset includes two kinds of data. First, the answers to most of the questions are contained in a large table, available under both CSV and MS Excel formats. An description file allows understanding the meaning of each field appearing in the table. Note the
survey form is also contained in the archive, for reference (it is in French and Turkish only, though). Second, the social network of students is available under both Pajek and Graphml formats. Having both individual (nodal attributes) and relational (links) information in the same dataset is, to our knowledge, rare and difficult to find in public sources, and this makes (to our opinion) this dataset interesting and valuable.

All data are completely anonymous: students' names have been replaced by random numbers. Note that the survey is not exactly the same between the two phases: some small adjustments were applied thanks to the feedback from the first phase (but the datasets have been normalized since then). Also, the electronic form was very much improved for the second phase, which explains why the answers are much more complete than in the first phase.

The data were used in our following publications:
