Survey

Part of our Human Practice work, we have established a little survey under the form of a mini quiz. It aims to establish a state of knowledge regarding what people know about forest in general, and the resulting industry. We diffused the survey to all IGEM teams contacted by social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. As the objective was not to collect only igemers participation, we diffused the survey among our university classmates, friends and family. The survey was available under both English and French version. In that way we hoped to reach a maximum of people to establish a great overview of the results.

Survey structure

The quiz has 8 questions with 3 answers and only one is correct. At the end of these questions the participant must fill personal information fields in order to see who is participating. We asked for the age group, the country of residency and if the player is participating to the current IGEM competition or not. After sending his answers the player is assigned a mark on 8pts and he can consult a correction.

Questions theme

All questions refer to the concept of Forest in general and worldwide. Some were more oriented to how the forest are used, and how they are managed. They are listed below:

  1. Approximately how much of the total forest represents the modified natural forests worldwide ?
  2. Which country has the largest forested area ?
  3. Which country generates the most industrial profit from its forests ?
  4. What type of forest is the most represented in the world ?
  5. How many people are employed in the forest trades ?
  6. In Brazil, which activity is the most responsible in the reduction of forests ?
  7. Which country is the leader in pulp and paper industry ?
  8. Today, how are recycled sub-products from wood industry ?
