title: New Europe Barometer VI, 2001
title: New Europe Barometers, 1991-

description: The &lt;i&gt;New Europe Barometer&lt;/i&gt; (NEB) series, originally known as the &lt;i&gt;New Democracies Barometer&lt;/i&gt; (NDB), has been conducted annually across Central and Eastern Europe since autumn 1991. The same questions are asked in each country and repeated from year to year, so trends can be analysed across a wide variety of post-Communist societies. Approximately 1,000 respondents in each country are interviewed face-to-face each year about their economic, political and social attitudes and behaviour. Data are available for separate years and also as a trend dataset (SN 5241). Further information on the NEB is available on the &lt;a href ="http://www.abdn.ac.uk/cspp/catalog13_0.shtml" title ="CSPP Barometer Surveys"&gt;CSPP Barometer Surveys&lt;/a&gt; web site, along with details of other survey series.&lt;br&gt;
 The sixth &lt;i&gt;New Europe Barometer&lt;/i&gt; (NEB) survey, conducted in 2001, covered the ten post-communist countries then actively negotiating entry to the European Union: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Several questions are covered in the survey. How do respondents evaluate their new regime and compare it to the past, and what are their expectations for the future? How committed are people to the rejection of undemocratic alternatives? How do respondents evaluate their national economic conditions and those of their household in terms of the past, present and future expectations? What are the priority of identities of individuals, ranging from local to European? NEB surveys ask the same questions in all countries covered. For 2001, the results were merged into a single multinational data file, with each country's responses weighted equally at 1,000. The multinational data file encourages research that considers the extent to which causes of division within society, for example education, age or economic status, operate transnationally. It is possible to assess to what extent and under what circumstances national context is an important influence on behaviour and attitudes (net of individual attributes), and to test the importance of absolute standards of living, which are measured cross-nationally by a household's material possessions, as against relative income advantage or disadvantage.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In addition to this, separate data files for all ten countries are included in the dataset. The majority of questions asked in the 2001 survey had been asked in previous surveys.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The responses from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are comparable with the &lt;i&gt;New Baltic Barometer&lt;/i&gt; survey series (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33416).&lt;br&gt;

title: Flexible Working Employee Survey, 2003-2004
title: First Flexible Working Employee Survey, 2003-2004

description: The first &lt;i&gt;Flexible Working Employee Survey&lt;/i&gt; was carried out between September 2003 and February 2004 as part of the ONS Omnibus Survey, on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). By interviewing employees, the survey aimed to determine awareness of the new right to work flexibly that was introduced on 6 April 2003. It also aimed to note the number of people who had made a request to work flexibly under the new right, their reason for making the request, and whether their request had been accepted or not.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A follow-up survey was conducted in 2005, and is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5246.&lt;br&gt;

title: Electricity Wholesale Market Data, 1996-2004

description: These data were collected for a project investigating bidding behaviour in the electricity wholesale markets in England and Wales between 1996 and 2004, concentrating on the period between April 1999 and March 2001. This sub-period covered the last two years of the Electricity Pool of England and Wales, a compulsory centralised market which was abolished in favour of the &lt;a href="http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/domestic_markets/security_of_supply/fscconsult.pdf" title="New Electricity Trading Arrangements"&gt;&lt;i&gt;New Electricity Trading Arrangements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (NETA) based upon voluntary bilateral trading, as far as possible. Proponents of the change believed that the Pool had been subject to manipulation and would inevitably produce less competitive results than a more normal market.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This study comprised two parts: an in-depth investigation of bids made by individual stations, using existing industry data, and a high-level modelling exercise to simulate prices over the entire period, for which a new dataset of information on power stations, costs, and demand levels was collected. This dataset allowed the simulation of prices over the period, and to compare the simulations with actual prices. The principal investigators' hypothesis, supported by the results, was that if an unchanging simulation model provided a good fit to actual prices over the entire period, then the change in market rules did not affect the underlying relationship between market conditions and prices.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The statistics on which the new dataset was based were collected by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) and National Grid Transco.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Details of the project and links to publications may be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=RES-000-22-0575" title="An Investigation of Bidding Behaviour in the British Electricity Market"&gt;ESRC award&lt;/a&gt; web page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: National Identity and Constitutional Change in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2001 and 2003

description: This dataset arises from the survey work undertaken by four closely co-ordinated projects, which were part of the &lt;i&gt;Devolution and Constitutional Change&lt;/i&gt; research programme of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The principal aim of the projects was to establish whether initial reactions to the introduction of devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland enhanced (or otherwise) the legitimacy of the United Kingdom and the new institutions themselves.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; More specifically the projects aimed to find answers to the following questions:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Did the introduction of devolution change the distribution of national identity?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Did support for the UK political system rise or fall?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Were patterns similar or different across the four territories?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can any changes that have occurred in national identity and so on be attributed to devolution or to other processes such as generational change?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;There were in addition a number of country-specific issues, for example, support for regional government in England. The objective of the survey research was to provide a firm empirical basis on which to study these questions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This dataset is derived from several existing sources:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/bsaTitles.asp" title="British Social Attitudes Survey"&gt;&lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes Surveys&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 2001 and 2003, produced by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/ssasTitles.asp" title="Scottish Social Attitudes Survey"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Scottish Social Attitudes Surveys&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 2001 and 2003, produced by NatCen and the Scottish Centre for Social Research&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wales Life and Times Study (Welsh Election Study), 2001&lt;/i&gt; (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 4546), and &lt;i&gt;Wales Life and Times Study (Welsh Assembly Election Study), 2003&lt;/i&gt;, (SN 5052), which were produced by the universities of Wales (Aberystwyth) and Oxford, and NatCen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/niltTitles.asp" title="Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, 2001 and 2003, produced by the Northern Ireland Social and Political Archive (ARK)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The copyright of the data taken from these surveys rests with the original producers (see copyright statement below).

description: The &lt;i&gt;Young People's Social Attitudes Survey, 2003 (YPSA)&lt;/i&gt; is an offshoot of the &lt;i&gt;British Social Attitudes Survey, 2003 (BSA)&lt;/i&gt; (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5235). It was designed to explore the attitudes and values of children and young people and make comparisons with those held by adults in 2003 and with other young people interviewed on the 1998 and 1994 YPSA (held under SN 4231 and SN 3629 respectively). All young people aged 12-19 living in the households of BSA respondents were approached for interview.

title: Colonial Possession: Personal Property and Social Identity in British India, 1780-1848

description: The research assesses the acquisition, use, meaning and circulation of personal possessions by propertied Britons in India, c. 1780-1850. Quantitative data from wills and a unique collection of inventories was collected to underpin qualitative analysis of changing consumer preferences within the Anglo-Indian community, and the social and familial functions of British consumer behaviour in a cross-cultural and colonial context. The research addressed key historiographical debates such as the impact of the colonial encounter upon consumption and the development of a consumer culture; the interaction of race, class and legitimacy in the formation of British identities in India; and the shift from Orientalism to Anglicisation among the Anglo-Indian community. Wills were studied to establish the typical patterns of bequests among the European population on the subcontinent, focussing especially upon the treatment of illegitimacy and concubinage, and the treatment of servants and slaves. Inventories yielded information about the rich material culture of British India, with a range of consumer goods, from enemas to telescopes, being recorded; where possible, information was also taken upon the purchasers of these items. Particularly valuable is the database’s information on book ownership and exchange, an area of historical enquiry bedevilled by limited source information.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Great Britain Day Visits Survey, 2002-2003
title: United Kingdom and Great Britain Day Visits Surveys, 1994-
title: GBDVS

description: The main aim of the &lt;i&gt;United Kingdom Day Visits Survey&lt;/i&gt;, the &lt;i&gt;Great Britain Day Visits Survey&lt;/i&gt; (GBDVS), and latterly the &lt;i&gt;England Leisure Visits Survey&lt;/i&gt; (ELVS), is to measure the extent of participation in day visits, and to estimate the scale and value of visits taken. In particular the principal investigators are interested in the extent of participation in different kinds of day trips, how frequently particular types of trip are undertaken, and associated expenditure.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The survey also seeks to provide information on a number of other trip details, such as activities undertaken, areas visited, time spent at the main destination, modes of transport, distance travelled, number of people involved and the trip party composition. Respondents to the survey are generally asked to recall trips taken within the past two weeks.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
 The 2002-2003 survey covered trips within Great Britain only, not Northern Ireland as had previously been the case, hence the change of name from &lt;i&gt;United Kingdom Day Visits Survey&lt;/i&gt; to &lt;i&gt;Great Britain Day Visits Survey&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The survey also sought to provide estimates of leisure day visits to three main types of destination, including towns and cities, the countryside, and the seaside or coast. Within these types, trips involving visits to any of three further subsidiary destinations (woods and forests, and both navigable and non-navigable inland waters) could also be recorded.

title: Cultures of Learning in Further Education, 2001-2003

description: The Transforming Learning Cultures in Further Education (FE) project was a ground-breaking project designed to explore ways in which learning in FE is cultural and relational. The principal aims of the project were to deepen understanding of the complexities of learning; to identify, implement and evaluate strategies for the improvement of learning opportunities; and to set in place an enhanced and lasting capacity among practitioners for enquiry into FE practice. The project was part of the ESRC's Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP). Further information about this project can be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/esrcinfocentre/viewawardpage.aspx?awardnumber=L139251025" title="Transforming Learning Cultures in Further Education "&gt;ESRC award&lt;/a&gt; web page, and wider information about the research programme on the &lt;a href="http://www.tlrp.org/" title="Teaching and Learning Research Programme"&gt;TLRP&lt;/a&gt; web site.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The objectives of the project were: to determine the nature of learning cultures and their impact upon students' and teachers' learning in FE; to establish a theoretical base for understanding the interrelationships between learning cultures, learning, and situational and motivational factors in FE; to identify principles of procedure for the enhancement of learning cultures in order to improve student and teacher learning and achievement; to determine the effectiveness, within prescribed limits, of different intervention strategies for the enhancement of learning cultures and the improvement of learning; to set in place an enhanced and lasting practitioner-based research capability in FE.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The project collected qualitative data from (usually) six students in each of 16 learning sites in four FE colleges in England. It also collected quantitative data from all students in the same learning sites. The quantitative data (deposited at the UK Data Archive) enabled deeper qualitative analysis by exploring similarities and differences amongst learning sites, to locate the views of the interviewees amongst those of their peers in the sites, and to relate the sample as a whole to national norms. (The qualitative data could not be deposited without compromising the anonymity of colleges, tutors and students.)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; (A learning site is the course of study on which a student is engaged; the term recognises that in FE especially there are many different kinds of situation in which learners and tutors come together to support a student's learning.)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Public Attitudes to the Environment in Scotland, 2002

description: The &lt;i&gt;Survey of Public Attitudes to the Environment in Scotland, 2002&lt;/i&gt; was commissioned to provide nationally-representative information about the views of the Scottish public towards a wide range of environmental topics, with particular policy relevance in Scotland. It aimed to provide data on the environmental knowledge, actions and attitudes of a sample of the Scottish population, and to chart how these concerns have changed since the last Scottish survey on the subject, conducted in 1991, which is not held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA). Furthermore, the 2002 survey also sought to measure what the Scottish public are doing to help protect the environment and what they think government and others should be doing in this capacity.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey was designed to be representative of those in the Scottish population aged over 16 years and resident in private households. It was also constructed to allow reliable comparison of responses between respondents in rural and urban areas. Further information about the 2002 survey, including data tables and frequencies, survey content, and online publications, may be found on the Scottish Executive &lt;a href="http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Surveys/15731" title="Public Attitudes to the Environment in Scotland"&gt;Public Attitudes to the Environment in Scotland&lt;/a&gt; web page. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A similar survey series on public attitudes to the environment, covering England and Wales, is held at UKDA under SN 33226.&lt;br&gt;

title: British Migrants in Spain: the Extent and Nature of Social Integration, 2003-2005

description: This project arose out of research conducted during the 1990s (by O'Reilly and others) which explored the trends, motivations, mobility patterns, identity and way of life of British migrant communities in the Costa del Sol. Reviewing the data collected during that period of fieldwork raised key issues of interest for theories of globalisation, migration and tourism, and for social policy related to integration, which are becoming increasingly relevant in the current context. Spain's tourist towns have recently experienced huge population growth (especially at certain times of the year), increasing European immigration, and the presence of a fluid, multinational migrant population, especially since free movement of individuals was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. The effects at the local level have been augmented by the passing of time and continued property development. Some towns are growing at dramatic rates and now inland areas are being affected as people look for cheaper property and land away from the built-up coastal zones. The constant presence of what are locally termed 'residential tourists' is becoming a feature of everyday life for people in towns like Fuengirola, Mijas and Alhaurin El Grande, in Andalusia. The growing and important body of research exploring the phenomenon of International Retirement Migration (IRM) in Europe has failed to specifically explore the extent and nature of social integration of these and younger European migrants in Spanish society. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The objectives of this study were to: systematically explore, using surveys, the extent of social integration of European (especially British) migrants in Spain; explore in depth, using qualitative interviews, the nature of social integration; and gain an understanding, using case studies, of the role of town councils in aiding or impeding integration.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The data collection includes:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;self-completion survey. Questionnaires were distributed via newsagents, town hall foreign residents departments, social clubs, and using snowball techniques from personal contacts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;53 face to face in-depth interviews (individuals and couples)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 focus group interviews&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;48 short student essays from 11-13 year old school students and transcribed into Word documents&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Drug Use and Youth Cultural Practice in Russia, 2002

description: This study investigated the degree to which substance use (illicit drugs and alcohol) has become 'normalised' among young Russians. The study used three data gathering methods:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a quantitative survey based on a self-completion questionnaire was distributed to three cohorts of young people - 14/15-year-olds ('8th class' in school), 16/17-year-olds ('10th class') and 18/19-year-olds (1st years in higher/further education institutions). The survey was fielded in a total of nine small, medium and large cities in three regions of Russia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;parallel semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sub-sample of survey respondents (95 across all 9 sites&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a 6-week period of ethnographic follow-up research was conducted 12 months later, with a total of 19 groups of young people, in 3 of the 9 sites in which the survey and interview elements of the research were conducted&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The study was conducted in the Komi Republic, Samara and Krasnodar Territory regions of Russia. This ensured a geographical span from the Black Sea to the Arctic Circle, and therefore encompassed the cannabis-growing regions of the south, the drugs trafficking routes in the middle Volga region, and the isolated far north of the country. The study investigated 'normalisation' of drug and alcohol use in terms of individual use, by gathering prevalence data and qualitative research charting drugs decisions and drugs careers. It also considered the role of young people's immediate environment (especially the friendship group) and the wider environment (especially the discursive construction of drug use, and the presence of drugs in the youth cultural environment). The range of drugs education and prevention work being conducted in the three regions was also investigated, through a series of expert interviews and by noting the young people's experience of the effectiveness of these interventions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; This mixed methods data collection includes transcripts of the semi-structured interviews conducted with young people as described above, and results from the self-completion survey. Users should note that both the data and documentation are mostly in Russian, though an English interview guide listing topics covered in the interviews has been compiled by Beate Lichtwardt at the UK Data Archive.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
