Regional Justice Digitalisation Questionnaire Design

Job ID: 40029955

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I want a well-structured questionnaire that explores how digitalisation can foster greater equality between urban and rural areas. Every item should be anchored in Nancy Fraser’s concept of redistribution–recognition–representation and Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, so the instrument captures both the resources made available through technology and the freedoms people actually gain from using it.

The core inquiry is: “How can digitalisation contribute to greater regional equality (urban vs. rural areas)?” Respondents will be district mayors who serve voluntarily, yet I also need space to reflect the lived realities of rural residents that those mayors represent. Selected focal points are the digital divide, the specific impact of digital tools during the COVID-19 period, and the broader role of technology in everyday local administration. I can cotain multiple choice, yes no or open-ended questions that invite nuanced narratives, though a handful of rating items for comparability is acceptable.

Please weave in a timeline perspective—before, during, and after COVID—and, if you see a complementary theory that would sharpen the analysis, briefly justify it and integrate corresponding prompts.
If you have experience with a theory which is moderner it is welcome

Deliverables
• A clean questionnaire draft (Word or Google Docs)
• A short mapping table showing how each question links to Fraser, Sen, or any additional theory you recommend
• Brief guidance on administration and data coding for qualitative analysis

Keep the language clear and non-technical so mayors can complete it quickly, yet ensure the conceptual backbone remains academically rigorous.
