The sample size taken in each province was determined according to its proportion of the total population. The objective of the survey is to inform members of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Peoples Consultative Assembly (MPR), the National Election Commission (KPU), and other interested institutions and organizations, about the perceptions, aspirations, and attitudes held by the people of Indonesia.

Public Opinion Survey in Papua, Indonesia (2002)
In June 2002, the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) in Indonesia commissioned Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) to carry out an opinion survey in Indonesia’s geographically largest province, Papua. This report outlines the results of the opinion survey that was conducted from September to November 2002. The results are based on 3,450 respondents throughout all 12 kabupaten (districts) in Papua. One portion of the total sample (n=1846) was chosen randomly to represent the total population of Papua in both urban and rural areas. In addition, a quota sample (n=1604) of 8 tribes was selected to gain a more insightful understanding of some of the indigenous people in Papua. The objective of the survey was to gather a broad selection of data to provide to various stakeholders with an interest in Papua and its future developments. Key groups include Papuabased universities and academic institutions, non-government organizations (NGOs), government bodies, and private enterprises who have established or wish to establish a presence in Papua. The survey explored a number of relevant topics including education, health, transportation, economic situation, culture, environmental protection, media penetration and attitudes held by the people of Papua. This is the first time an opinion survey of this magnitude has been carried out in Papua. It is anticipated that this survey will form the benchmark for future research and developmental projects in Papua. It is further hoped that the findings of this important study will create a constructive debate that will help to advance the development of Papua in the best interests of its people.

Citizens' Awareness and Participation in Armenia : Survey 2002
Between the dates of August 20 and September 12, 2002, the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) conducted its second Citizens’ Awareness and Participation in Armenia (CAPA) survey of public opinion. The first CAPA survey was fielded between June 10 and June 22, 2001. The 2002 survey was conducted throughout Armenia with 1,600 adult respondents. Additional interviews were over-sampled in regions where IFES is currently undertaking CAPA programming. The results in this report are based on weighted data that is representative of the national population of Armenia. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 2.5%. This report is organized into eight sections plus a conclusion and appendices. Section I provides an introduction to the report, while Section II highlights the most important findings of the 2002 survey. Following this, Section III provides information on the Armenian public’s general interest in, attitudes toward, and knowledge about politics and government in Armenia. Section IV describes the levels of information citizens have on various topics, as well as their main sources of information. Section V covers the public’s civic knowledge and attitudes toward participation in civic activities. Section VI explains the actions citizens have taken to address important issues and the interaction between public officials and their constituents. Section VII examines attitudes toward women’s participation in public life and decision-making in Armenia. Finally, Section VIII provides information on citizen’s attitudes toward the judicial system and institutions, as well as corruption in the country. Section IX, the conclusion, relates the major findings of the 2002 survey to IFES’ CAPA project development. Four appendices have also been added to this report in the last section, Section X. Appendices 1 and 2 contain the survey’s methodological summary and 2002 topline data. Appendix 3 contains selected demographic data. Appendix 4 provides general information about the current work and projects of IFES/Armenia and contact information for its nine regional offices.
