“…those who didn't take part in the 2011 study. And yet, despite the reference theories, you are reminded that sample subjects using the internet can encounter problems relating to the digital divide [20]. In relation to this, we verified that no major problems arose to exclude specific age groups from the study, such as the elderly, who make up 31% of the sample.…”

“…Furthermore, the (online) survey was found to be an appropriate method as China's CSA farms are scattered across China's vast territory, and farms located in peri-urban areas are less accessible. Given that farmers and managers are usually occupied with daily farming duties, the online survey also allowed respondents to complete the questionnaire in their own time, and at their own place and pace [33].…”

Alternative Approaches to Food: Community Supported Agriculture in Urban China

Abstract:One of the most remarkable features of China's development path is its large-scale and fast-paced urbanization. As cities already accommodate more than half of China's population, new challenges to urban food systems have emerged concurrently. Concerns over environmental degradation and food safety have provoked growing dissatisfaction with China's food regime. Amidst these concerns, the aim of this paper is to study the role of new and alternative approaches to food, focusing in on the question of how community supported agriculture (CSA) can deal with the food-related issues emerging from China's development. The paper adopts Granovetter's notions of social embeddedness to describe CSA's relational role in consumer-farmer dynamics, as well as the structural role within its broader relational context. Empirical data is drawn from surveys distributed among CSA farms, and interviews with key stakeholders in the Chinese CSA movement. The study finds that the model of CSA demonstrates an innovative approach to deal with food safety issues, address sustainability, and operate in an environment where future food demands are most critical. Although the movement's structural embeddedness is bound by several limitations and contradictions, it is argued that the CSA model offers important insights and adds value into ameliorating China's food systems.

“…Several meta-analyses reveal, for example, that web surveys generally get a 6 to 15% lower response rate compared to other survey modes (Fan & Yan, 2010;Smyth & Pearson, 2011;Vehovar & Lozar Manfreda, 2008), and nowadays many studies conducted among students report response rates below 20% (e.g. Lauber, Ajdacic-Gross, Fritschi, Stulz, & Rössler, 2005;Lee, 2010;Sax et al, 2003).…”

“…The key challenges addressed in the scholarly literature are errors of non-observation or issues of representation (Couper & Miller, 2008) and data quality (Malhotra, 2008;. Errors of non-observation generally comprise coverage and nonresponse (Couper, Kapteyn, Schonlau, & Winter, 2007;Vehovar & Lozar Manfreda, 2008). Nevertheless, as several scholars indicate (Couper, 2000;Couper et al, 2007;Smyth & Pearson, 2011), for a specialized population such as students in higher education, web surveys might be the ideal instrument with few coverage and sampling problems, as complete Internet and email coverage (by providing all students an official university email address) of the population under study is generally possible (Callegaro et al, 2015, p. 25).…”

a Migration and Migrants, netherlands Interdisciplinary demographic Institute / KnaW / ug, the hague, the netherlands; b centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies, university of antwerp, antwerpen, Belgium ABSTRACTWith the growing possibilities for conducting web surveys, researchers increasingly use such surveys to recruit student samples for research purposes in a wide array of social science disciplines. Simultaneously, higher education students are recurrently asked to complete course and teacher evaluations online and to participate in small-scale research projects of fellow students, potentially leading to survey fatigue among student populations across the globe. One of the most frequently reported effects of over-surveying is a decrease in overall response rates. This situation has significant impacts on the generalizability and external validity of findings based on web surveys. The collection of reliable data is, nevertheless, crucial for researchers as well as educational practitioners and administrators, and strategies should be developed for achieving acceptable response rates. This paper reports on a methodological experiment (N = 15,651) conducted at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, in which possible strategies to improve survey response are explored. I specifically focus on the impact of an extra reminder as well as specific reminder contents on response rates. The results reveal that extra reminders are effective for increasing response rates, but not for diversifying the sample.
