ABSTRACT:
Provided is a generation and implementation system for the survey program, in which multi-faceted questions are easily generated as a survey program and distributed to portable terminals, a survey can be performed in a non-communicating state, and survey results of the survey program can be amassed at a management server without fail. A question preparation server receives an input of a question, configures an answer format for the question, generates a survey program configured to send the answers to a management server when a predetermined number of answers are inputted, and distributes the survey program to a portable terminal of a surveyor. At the time of survey, the question is displayed on the display unit of the portable terminal, an answer to the question is received via an input of the portable terminal and stored in a memory unit of the portable terminal, and a group of questions stored in the memory of unit is sent to the management server via a communication unit of the portable terminal. The management server has received the answer date analyzes the answer data, performs statistic processing, and generates visible survey report information.
