Abstract
Online-Befragungen sind spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil der empirischen Sozialforschung geworden. Bisher jedoch findet in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Raumforschung keine intensive Methodendiskussion zu Online-Befragungen statt. In diesem Beitrag skizzieren wir die Methodologie, Vor- und Nachteile sowie mögliche Einsatzfelder dieses Erhebungsinstrumentes. Insbesondere für explorative und experimentelle quantitative Erhebungen zu neuen und komplexen raumbezogenen Themenfeldern lassen sich Online-Befragungen vorteilhaft einsetzen. Aufbauend auf diesen Betrachtungen werden praktische Erfahrungen mit Online-Befragungen aus drei Forschungsprojekten der sozialwissenschaftlichen Raumforschung vorgestellt. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Darstellung der Fragebogengestaltung, des Samplings und der technischen Umsetzung. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass mit der Online-Befragung ein wichtiges Werkzeug insbesondere zur Erforschung hochmobiler Bevölkerungsgruppen zur Verfügung steht. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass Mobilitäts- und Multilokalitätsphänomene unsere Gesellschaft verstärkt prägen und damit auch räumliche Strukturen zunehmend beeinflussen, haben Online-Befragungen ein noch zu wenig genutztes Potenzial im Rahmen der sozialwissenschaftlichen Raumforschung. Auf der Basis dieser Erfahrungen wird als Handreichung ein Fragenkatalog abgeleitet, der es interessierten Raumforschern erlaubt, die Passfähigkeit von Online-Befragungen als Erhebungsinstrument in der Konzeptionsphase von Forschungsprojekten abzuwägen.
Abstract - optional
Empirical social research made use of online surveys since the mid-1990s. However, there is no significant methodological debate about this empirical tool in socio-scientific regional studies. In this paper, we delineate the online survey methodology, their advantages and disadvantages as well as potential contexts of application. Online surveys are useful especially for explorative and experimental quantitative research projects that deal with complex and new socio-spatial phenomena. Based on these observations, we will present practical experience with online survey research from three projects in the field of socio-scientific regional studies. We will focus on questionnaire design, sampling and technical solutions. The results show that particularly for studies on highly mobile social groups online surveys are an appropriate and powerful tool for data collection. Given that mobility and multilocality are more and more characterizing our societies and thus impact spatial structures, we argue that online surveys are underused as a method for the exploration of new trends and phenomena in socio-scientific regional studies. Based on these insights, we present a catalogue of questions that should allow interested regional scientists to evaluate the applicability of online surveys when conceptualizing new research projects.
