Zusammenfassung
In an effort to incentivize environmental protection actions among farmers, different administrations offer various support programmes. These programmes differ between states, change over time and are published in non-machine-readable formats. Since the lack of a nationwide database hampers the comprehensive evaluation of these programmes, we propose a flexible form generator for standardizing the programme descriptions. Our tool meets the needs of researchers as it facilitates the transformation of text-based definitions to a well-structured relational database with its graphical questionnaire user interface. Redundancies in data input are avoided by allowing the collected data of a support program to be inherited by another and to extend it by additional properties or overwriting existing ones. Furthermore, it accommodates complex data collection needs, supporting limitless sub-questions and customized input fields. The resulting hierarchical data is automatically stored in a relational database, ensuring a user-friendly experience both for quantitative researchers and data analysts. This innovative approach enhances the evaluation of e.g. environmental protection programmes.
