Question

Is there any difference between a questionnaire and a survey?

Community Answer

The terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, a questionnaire is a tool used to conduct a survey. But you will often see questionnaires simply referred to as surveys, which is widely accepted.

Question

What type of questions am I supposed to ask while conducting a survey?

Community Answer

This depends on the topic of your survey. Try to come up with questions that will yield relevant information. For example, if you were conducting a survey about pet care, you might ask each person what kind of food they feed their pets.

You could ask questions on mental and physical health. Please be aware that it's a sensitive subject for some people. Other kinds of questions could be based on the quality and access to facilities and services such as crime management, education, medical care, etc.

Question

Our topic is Conduct survey, experiment or observation. What should I do? Can you give some examples?

Community Answer

You could observe the environmental quality in different areas in your local area. For example, pollution, rubbish, noise, etc. You could survey people on what they think of the area, and compare the different sites you observed to see which one was the most popular and how it compares to your observations of the environmental quality.
