Abstract The project Web Survey Methodology Site (http://www.websm.org/) was funded by the European Union to establish an internet portal in order to address people who conduct web based surveys or do research in the field. The target of the information portal is to gather and distribute knowledge as well as to provide a basis for communication and solutions. Early in 2003 two surveys were conducted to assess the needs of people in the EU interested or working in the field of web based surveys. More than 600 persons participated in the project's following two surveys: an intercept survey conducted with portal visitors and an email survey conducted with the members of ESOMAR. The results provide information about the distribution of user groups and time dedicated to online surveys. Several items concerning both technical features and content of an information portal were rated according to their perceived usefulness. Open ended questions supplied data on various other information needs. Surprisingly, only a minority of the participants exclusively work in the field of online-surveys. Despite the fact of a relatively long research tradition in questionnaire design and nonresponse, a major priority was assigned to these topics. Users seek for guidance during the whole survey process, reaching from sampling and questionnaire design to technical implementation and analysis. Summarising, it becomes clear which research topics are specially demanded in practice. Additionally, areas in frequent need of consulting can be identified.
Abstract - optional Das von der Europäischen Union geförderte Projekt Web Survey Methodology Site (http://www.websm.org/) dient dem Ausbau eines Internetportals für Personen, die Web-basierte Umfragen durchführen oder in diesem Gebiet forschen. Das Informationsportal möchte Wissen, Standards und Methoden verbreiten sowie die Kontaktaufnahme zwischen Anwendern unterstützen und Lösungen vorstellen. Mittels einer Anfang 2003 durchgeführten Intercept-Befragung unter den Nutzern des schon bestehenden Portals sowie einer Email-Befragung unter den Mitgliedsinstituten der ESOMAR mit insgesamt über 600 Teilnehmern wurden Informationen darüber gewonnen, welchen Stellenwert derzeit Web-Befragungen bei potenziellen Anwendern innerhalb der EU haben und welche Anforderungen die potenziellen Nutzer an das zu optimierende Portal stellen. Die Ergebnisse geben Aufschluss über die Verteilung verschiedener Anwendergruppen sowie den Anteil, den Online-Befragungen bei ihrer Arbeit ausmachen. Des weiteren liefern die Befunde wertvolle Hinweise zum bestehenden Informationsbedarf in diesem Feld, da verschiedene m_f6gliche inhaltliche und technische Angebote des Informationsportals im Hinblick auf ihre Nützlichkeit einzuschätzen waren, sowie offene Fragen zu den Bed_fcrfnissen der Anwender gestellt wurden. Es überrascht, dass von den Befragten kaum jemand ausschließlich im Bereich Online-Befragungen tätig ist. Eine hohe Bedeutung wird nach wie vor den Themenkomplexen Fragebogenkonstruktion und Nonresponse zugeschrieben, obwohl gerade in diesen Bereichen die bisherige Forschung eine Vielzahl an Erkenntnissen vorzuweisen hat. Anwender suchen jedoch auch nach Entscheidungshilfen in anderen Bereichen Web-basierter Umfragen von der Stichprobenziehung, über das Fragebogendesign bis zur technischen Seite der Datenerhebung und -auswertung. Zusammenfassend lässt sich feststellen, dass einerseits deutlich wird, welche Forschungsschwerpunkte von der Praxis besonders nachgefragt werden und andererseits Bereiche identifiziert werden können, in denen häufiger Beratungsbedarf besteht.
