Data was also collected on migration, health (including disability), education and employment (including employment sector). Data on community services and amenities was also collected, and on transport, leisure activities and safety and crime. Financial data was collected (including on debts, income, and social grants) and data on household assets. Data on public participation and governance was also collected during the survey. Finally, the survey collected data on the perceived personal wellbeing and quality of life of respondents."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Data World","abbreviation":"","affiliation":""}],"coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"The survey instrument (questionnaire) which was used was provided by the GCRO. The instrument was similar to the questionnaire used for the initial Quality of Life survey, with new questions being added only where questions from the previous survey were removed. This was done with the intention of keeping the duration of the survey the same as the initial one. The survey instrument was a 20 page questionnaire, broken up into 12 sections. The bulk of the possible answers were pre-defined, such that most of the survey could be answered using a combination of tick-boxes or by writing down a number from a predefined set. There are therefore not many open-ended questions in the survey."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"DataFirst","affiliation":"University of Cape Town","email":"info@data1st.org","uri":"http:\/\/www.datafirst.uct.ac.za"}],"cit_req":"Gauteng City-Region Observatory.Quality of Life Survey IV, 2015-2016.[dataset].
