It is financed by the Scottish Government (previously the Scottish Executive) and undertaken by a partnership between TNS Social Research (formerly NFO Social Research) and Ipsos MORI Scotland (formerly MORI Scotland).<br> <br> The aim of the survey is to provide representative information about the composition, characteristics and behaviours of Scottish households, both nationally and at a more local level. The survey covers a wide range of topics to allow links to be made between different policy areas, with a particular focus on information to aid policy decisions on transport and social inclusion.<br> <br> Further information about the survey series, and links to publications, can be found on the Scottish Government's <a href="http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/16002" title="Scottish Household Survey"> <i>Scottish Household Survey</i></a> web pages.<br>The <i>Scottish Household Survey, 2007-2008</i> was extended to include a boost module designed to collect policy relevant information on culture and sport. The sampling strategy has also been revised to achieve a higher proportion of interviews from unclustered sample. Further information can be found in the documentation.<br> <br> For the second edition (June 2010), data and documentation from the main survey and the culture and sport module have been added to the dataset, which previously contained only the travel diary data and documentation.<br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5><i>Main survey</i>:<br> The main survey questionnaire is in two parts. Householders or their spouses/partners complete Part 1 of the interview. Once the composition of the household has been established, one of the adults in the household is randomly selected to complete Part 2. In all households with a single adult the same person completes both parts, but as the number of adults in the household increases, the probability of the random adult being the same as the household respondent declines. The household section of the interview deals with topics such as household composition, housing and tenure, health, the vehicles available to the household, the occupation and industry of the highest income householder, household income and housing costs. The 'random adult' section deals with individuals' housing change, tenure change, neighbourhood problems, transport and use of public transport, public services, income and employment.<br> <br> <i>Travel diary</i>:<br> In addition to the main questionnaire, the travel diary collects information about personal travel on the day prior to the interview. One randomly chosen adult per household in the sample is selected to complete the travel diary. The 'journey' and 'stage' files compiled from the travel diary provide information on the means of transport used, purposes for which people travel, distances that they cover, start and end times of trips, duration of journeys, car occupancy, council area of the journey start and destination locations, and days of the week that adults travel. The 'home to work' and 'home to school' files provide information on the estimated straight line distance ('as the crow flies') in kilometres from home to work or home to school. For further information, see documentation.<br> <br> <i>Standard measures</i>:<br> The survey uses many of the harmonised questions for government social surveys.<br><i>Culture and sport module:</i><br> The culture and sport module starts with a household module which is similar to the main questionnaire but is substantially shorter, collecting only core demographic data about the household from the household respondent. The module itself is directed to a random adult in the household and covers the following topics: culture and sport when growing up, participation in creative and cultural activities, archive centres and records office, libraries, historical sites, museums and galleries, sport and physical recreation, local sports facilities, attendance at live sports, internet use and volunteering.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 27 January 2007 - 10 February 2009 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> Scotland <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Local Enterprise Companies (LECs) (Scotland);Health Boards; Main file: Local Authority Areas.
