Austrians feel unsafe: Drama in the streets of Favoriten!
The question of security concerns more and more people in Austria, especially in urban areas. A current survey carried out in collaboration between KURIER and the opinion research institute OGM shows that 52 percent of Viennese in Favoriten feel unsafe. The survey was designed with 23 questions in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the population's mood. With an impressive participation of 22,297 people, the survey provides valuable insights into the security perception of various districts and Austria as a whole. Reporting on the survey results will be available in the coming weeks COURIER website continued.
Given the growing fears among the population, the question arises: What exactly influences this subjective feeling of security? According to the results of another study, a total of 87 percent of the population feel “very safe” or “somewhat safe”. However, this also means that the target of 95 percent was not achieved. The factors influencing the feeling of security are diverse. They range from the visible presence of the police to the effects of media reporting to general political and economic developments. Local conditions, such as street lighting or the frequency of criminal activity, also affect people's sense of security. This is shown by the analysis of the subjective feeling of security recorded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) ( Impact monitoring ).
The survey in detail
The opinion research institute OGM carried out a technical check to avoid distortions and keep the data reliable. This ensures that the results are representative and meaningful. The survey interested not only the Viennese, but also the entire Austrian population. The questions were aimed at how safe the participants felt overall in Austria and in their place of residence. Interested readers can already find the first results and exciting analyzes of the survey OGM.
The survey is another indication that security is not only important in a physical sense, but also depends heavily on people's perceptions. It remains to be seen how those responsible in politics and society will react to the results and whether measures will be taken to improve the feeling of security.
Ultimately, the discussion about security not only shows the concerns of the population, but also the need for a safe living environment, which is essential for many Viennese.
