What kind of questionnaires do we have?

Questionnaires can be oral or written to gain information from an individual or a group of individuals.
Suitable themes in the syllabus where questionnaires may be appropriately studied include spheres of
infl uence, use of services, shopping habits, a farm study, a factory or industrial study, leisure activities,
tourism, or attitudes of the public to developments associated with resource development. Consideration
should be given to factors infl uencing the successful design of questionnaires, e.g. layout, format of
questions, the appropriate wording of questions and the number of questions. The practical
considerations of conducting a questionnaire, e.g. the sampling methods, pilot survey and location of
survey should also be discussed.
