Omaha City Services: An Opinion Survey

The purpose of this opinion survey was threefold: a. To determine perceptions of residents of six neighborhoods in Omaha of the quality of selected City services in their own neighborhoods and in other neighborhoods in relation to their own. These perceptions were to be solicited in terms of their ranking of the present services and their desires for the future. b. To determine the priorities of City Government over the next four years in terms of the eight categories of government involvement presented. c. To solicit personal opinions from respondents about City services and government priorities. See the attached questionnaire, Appendix A: Questions I, 2 and 4 related to a. above, Question 3 relates to b. and Question 4 relates to c. The survey was conducted out of two basic needs. First, there is the need for citizen participation in government at a time in our nation's history when government and those elected to represent the people are under a great deal of pressure to be open and accessible to the public in order to restore their credibility and the credulity of our system of government. Secondly, there is a need for graduate students to engage in research that leads to meaningful involvement in real situations.
