Abstract:
Coordinated by RISC-FGZ section Halle (Saale), sections Bielefeld, Göttingen, and Hannover jointly conduct this panel study on social cohesion in local societies. The FGZ Regionalpanel covers 12 communes in 4 German federal states (Bavaria, Lower-Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony-Anhalt): One large city (min 200,000 inhabitants), one medium-sized city (max 50,000 inhabitants), and one small commune/village each.

The samples are randomly drawn from official registry and the data are representative for each commune.
The first wave of the dataset comprises data on a wide range of topics like social cohesion, neighbourhoods, media consumption, local infrastructures, or polarisation. The second wave was conducted in spring 2023 and subsequently waves are envisaged for 2025, 2027 and 2029.
