A CSO Frontier Series Output- What is this?
This publication is part of a series of releases that the Central Statistics Office (CSO) publishes under the 'Take Part' Campaign. It presents preliminary results compiled from the Pulse Survey 'Our Lives Outdoors' carried out online from the 22nd of April to the 9th of May 2022. This publication explores the relationships that people have with the outdoors and natural spaces in Ireland. It covers the time the respondents spent and the activities they engaged in outdoors and in natural spaces. It also gives information on their concerns about and involvement in the protection of the environment. And finally, it looks into the time they spent and the activities they undertook in their gardens.
Pulse Surveys are usually short and take the ‘pulse’ of the nation about an issue at a point in time. These types of survey ensure that the CSO can provide relevant, timely and insightful data for the public. While results are calibrated to Irish population totals, the findings cannot be generalised to the entire Irish population, as the people who answered the questionnaire were not randomly chosen from the population. The CSO publishes results of Pulse Surveys as frontier publications. To learn more about CSO Frontier Publications, refer to this link.
