Refugee, Asylum-Seeker and Migrant Perceptions, Austrian States Excluding Vienna

This report analyses data collected from refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrants currently living in the Austrian states of Burgenland, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, Upper Austria, and Vorarlberg.

It is the third in a series of quantitative and qualitative data collection rounds under the Mixed Migration Platform looking at refugee, asylum-seeker, and migrant perceptions of the services provided in Austria. While the first quantitative and second qualitative rounds provide insight into the experiences and perceptions of mixed migrants in Vienna, this round analyses the views of refugees and other migrants living in the remaining Austrian states outside the capital, often in remote and underserved areas.

The goal of this survey is to provide insight into the experiences and perceptions of refugees and other migrants to:

1. better inform the overall response in Austria,
2. enable NGOs to provide more effective programmes, and
3. encourage governmental agencies to adopt data-driven policy responses. Respondents were asked to score each closed question on a five-point Likert scale, while open-ended questions were included to provide deeper insights.
