This dataset contains results from the Latvian part of the first survey within the project 'Democracy and Social Transition in the Baltic Sea Region' carried out at Södertörn University. To study individuals' perception of social and political changes, the research team asked questions about: political effectiveness and political participation, political trust, evaluation of the electoral process, perceptions and evaluation of environmental issues, civil rights and obligations, the household's economy and financial situation. To achieve comparability with other citizen surveys conducted at Uppsala University in Sweden and at six other European universities, the modules were similar to their questions in structure and wording. A second survey was conducted in all three Baltic countries in 2001. A third survey with slightly modified question modules was conducted simultaneously in Poland.

Detta dataset innehåller resultat från den lettiska delen av den första undersökningen inom projektet 'Democracy and Social Transition in the Baltic Sea Region' utförd vid Södertörns högskola. För att studera individers uppfattning om sociala och politiska förändringar ställde forskargruppen frågor om: politisk effektivitet och politiskt deltagande, politiskt förtroende, utvärdering av valprocessen, uppfattning och utvärdering av miljöfrågor, medborgerliga rättigheter och skyldigheter, hushållets ekonomi och ekonomiska situation. För att uppnå jämförbarhet med andra medborgarundersökningar utförda vid Uppsala universitet i Sverige och vid sex andra europeiska universitet, liknade modulerna deras frågor i struktur och formuleringar. En andra undersökning genomfördes i alla tre baltiska länder 2001. En tredje undersökning med något modifierade frågemoduler genomfördes samtidigt i Polen.

Firstly, the entire nation was divided into 113 strata, of which 36 was from Riga, 41 from towns and 36 in parishes. The size of the sample in each stratum was based on the proportion of inhabitants. Secondly, samples were extracted in each stratum. The secondary sampling units - individuals - were chosen using the next-birthday rule. Not more than 8 respondents were interviewed per one sampling point.Firstly, the entire nation was divided into 113 strata, of which 36 was from Riga, 41 from towns and 36 in parishes.
