FAUI and Scenes
Sources 2013
As part of the
Fiscal Austerity and Urban Innovation (FAUI) Project, collaborators in 35
countries have collected surveys of mayors and often council members and
administrators using the same core items for over 10,000 local governments.
Surveys include a range of items widely used in local politics literatures,
such as group activity of some 20 types of groups, responsiveness to each
group, policy preferences of the mayor and council and citizens as assessed by
the mayor and council members, relative emphasis on a list of some 31 policy
strategies (contracting out, subsidizing various groups, raising taxes,
fees, across the board cutbacks, etc.--of the sort being discussed at the
national level in the Eurozone about 2010-13), and more. Surveys were
conducted from the 1980s to present, sometimes in up to five waves. They are
generally merged with local socio-economic, fiscal, and other characteristics
for analysis. Over 50 books and hundreds of papers use the data, books
and survey questionnaires listed at www.faui.org. In recent years we have
added data on neighborhoods, amenities, and scenes. We have pooled files that
join international FAUI and Scenes data. To access the raw data, contact Terry
