Mapping Risk Perception in Lithuania: Spatial and Socio-Psychological Dimensions, September - October 2020

Most important questions: respondents were asked what is the most important threat to Lithuania and them personally. Further, respondents were asked to identify level of threat posed by each threat provided on a list (COVID-19 or other similar pandemic, crime rates, rising food prices, etc.; a total of 30 threats) to the place, where they and their families live and / or work.

Next, the survey asked which three of these threats are most important for Lithuania and for municipality where respondents live. Respondents were also asked which five of these threats had negative effect on them personally in the past 5 years. Further, respondents were asked to assess various aspects related to environmental, social, economic, technological, and geopolitical threats: how much respondents feel aware of these threats (problems), how much they and their families feel ready to overcome these threats, and how much the municipality in which they live is ready to manage these threats.
