This data collection, which was designed to assess experiences with the Ontario, Canada, civil justice system, is a replication and extension of a survey conducted by the Civil Litigation Research Project at the University of Wisconsin. Interviews were conducted with the heads of households. Questions were asked about the nature of the problem, e.g., auto accident, work injury, discrimination, problems with landlord, violations of privacy, or victimization.

This data collection is comprised of a one-in-one-hundred sample of persons who completed the long-form census questionnaire (the one-third sample) for the 1976 Census of Canada. To preserve confidentiality, records for this study were selected from geographic areas with populations of 250,000 or more, including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Montreal census enumeration area, Quebec, the Toronto census enumeration area, Ontario (excluding Toronto), Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Vancouver census enumeration area, and British Columbia (excluding Vancouver).

The Public Use Sample is a representative sample of individual records from the 1971 Census of Canada Master File. The primary sample size is one-in-one-hundred and the sample is self-weighting. Data from the long-form questionnaire, or one-third sample, were used to create these microdata files. To preserve confidentiality, respondents were selected from nine provinces and two Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) with populations of 250,000 or more. The provinces are Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

This data collection provides information on characteristics of housing units in eight selected Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) of the United States. Data for each household member include age, sex, race, marital status, income, and relationship to the householder. For the householder, data also include tenure, length of residence, years of school completed, and Spanish origin. Variables pertaining to general housing characteristics cover number of rooms, type of heating and air-conditioning equipment, and whether the housing units had complete kitchens and plumbing facilities.

It forms part of a larger project entitled 'The Orange Order in the 20th century: A study in social change'. This wider study explores the relative impact of techno-economic, cultural and institutional factors on Orange Order membership and political influence in twentieth century Scotland, Canada and Northern Ireland

To provide data for setting road traffic noise limits. Main Topics: Variables Date was collected on traffic noise level, socio-economic status, community size, type of dwelling and type of road. Interview data included different types of reaction to road traffic noise, the respondent's general state of health, perception of harmfulness of traffic noise, and demographic characteristics. Physical measurements were made of noise level in the area.

Six hundred and seventy-three interviews were collected at 56 sites around Toronto International Airport. The sites were stratified according to the noise level (NEF), location relative to the flight path, and the presence or absence of road traffic noise at the site. The interview was designed to answer questions regarding the degree of annoyance due to any of the transportation sources heard, the activities interrupted, perceived health effects, and actions taken because of the noise.

The file encompasses data collected over two summers. The first year, 949 interviews were conducted at 37 sites, exposed to a variety of noise sources (highway, arterial, railway and some industrial sites). In the second year of the survey, sites were restricted to those close to road traffic sources only. In that year, the sample was stratified according to noise level, type of dwelling, and tenure of the inhabitants.
