Ⅱ. The e-Survey System and the Enumerator Management System
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
Internet response in statistical surveys The e-Survey System and the Enumerator Management System
are essential systems for adopting Internet response
The e-Survey System The e-Survey makes it possible for respondents to conveniently
respond from their homes or offices via the Internet The e-Survey operates under a substantial security system The ministries can reduce operations via the e-Survey function,
such as a function of automatically checking errors “The Optimization” demands all ministries to adopt Internet
response option gradually by using e-Survey System
Ⅱ. The e-Survey System and the Enumerator Management System
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
The process of accessing the e-Survey Systema. Login by entering the ID and passwordb. Download the electronic questionnaire from the e-Survey Systemc. Complete the questionnaire responsesd. Save the responses in electronic form (can be saved with password)e. Send the responses to e-Survey Systemf. Receive confirmation of the acceptance of the data of the questionnaire
Ⅱ. The e-Survey System and the Enumerator Management System
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
The Enumerator Management System (“EMS”) The EMS stores information about enumerators and
enumeration districts which the enumerator is working The staff of local governments uses the EMS for managing
enumerators The EMS contributes to streamlining of “Field works” in
collaboration with the e-Survey System By using EMS, enumerators can check whether
respondents have already sent the responses or not

Ⅱ. The e-Survey System and the Enumerator Management System
Streamlining of “Field works” in collaboration with the EMS and the e-Survey
a. Municipality registers information about enumerators to the EMS (Enumerators DB)b. Municipality makes linkage data in Relation DB which related the enumerator data in
Enumerators DB to their enumeration districtsc. Respondents send the responses to the e-Survey System (Responses DB)d. Enumerators send inquiries about responses by email e. The EMS notifies the information about responses by email

Ⅲ. Experience of Internet Response in the 2010 Population Census
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
The 2010 Population Census The Statistics Bureau of MIC had adopted mainly
enumerator survey method until 2005 Census The Bureau introduced three way collection methods
in the 2010 Population Census at the first time ( limiting to Tokyo metropolitan area )
1. By enumerator2. Mail back to municipalities3. Response via Internet
Ⅲ. Experience of Internet response in the 2010 Population Census
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
Change to the e-Survey System The required functions of the HTML form were additionally
developed for the 2010 Population Census The development was performed in a form of a new subsystem
with additional features and an additional Database Server stored to the outside of the IMISOS
Ⅲ. Experience of Internet response in the 2010 Population Census
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
The HTML electronic questionnaire of the 2010 Population Census
Ministries can efficiently improve the operation of the data editing by the checking errors function
By reason of safety and accuracy, respondents cannot view their responses again and also they cannot save their responses on their way
Respondents had to finish their responses within only one access to the e-Survey System for lack of function to save
Ⅲ. Experience of Internet response in the 2010 Population Census
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
Results The rate of households by return options (in Tokyo)
Internet option was 8.4% (529,154 households) Mail was 59.2% Enumerator pick up was 32.4%
The result of a satisfaction survey for all Internet respondents concerning the Internet response
99.0% would like to use the Internet response again 85.2% feel easy to respond
Ⅲ. Experience of Internet response in the 2010 Population Census
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
Results The Internet respondents were many at age of 30-40 and
40-50 as compared with the age distribution of Tokyo area

Ⅳ. Challenges
Statistics Bureau,Ministry of Internal Affairsand Communications
The Statistics Bureau of MIC is discussingSystem version up of IMISOS including adoption of HTML
type questionnaire Utilize of Cloud-type network processing at the 2015
Population Census to heighten the capacity of the system Change the combination of questionnaires collection
modes in the 2015 Population Census Internet response will be only available at the first
questionnaire collection period Enumerator collection and mail post back will be
available after the Internet acceptance is closed
