Classified Survey Series (Survey series not to be released / no longer conducted)
As HKPORI entered its fifth anniversary, it repositioned itself in human history as well as in the world. Having considered various factors including public demand for opinion data, resource allocation and risk assessment, HKPORI has downscaled its self-funded data collection effort starting from July 2023. The results of certain survey series would also no longer be released to the public and only made available for the purpose of academic research, for internal reference or for a fee. In 2024, HKPORI also announced the indefinite suspension of five survey series in July and October respectively, the relevant survey series are listed below. HKPORI will continue to determine whether a tracking survey series will be continued based on a basket of 6 factors, including expressed interest, research value, cost-effectiveness, members’ opinion, historical value, and legal risk.
Meanwhile, we have launched the “HKPORI Poll Data Enquiry System”, which provides access to data for a fee or free of charge. We require all data acquirers to pledge that they will not use it for illegal purposes, nor will they transfer or resell it to any person. Please see below for the changes made in this round of adjustments.

Note: Due to the shortening of some survey modules, like simplifying the rating of all disciplinary forces to just “top three”, there are about 10 to 20 survey questions being dropped from our operation. If we also consider the reduction in frequency for some survey modules, the “effective number of question-appearance” per year would be further compressed.
