Survey of Public Attitudes to the Environment, 1986
The aim of this survey was to investigate attitudes among the general public to a number of environmental problems : to establish what people perceived as problems; the extent to which they could be alleviated; and where responsibility for alleviating these problems was seen to lie. Environmental problems: level of concern; local problems; most important local, national and global problems; scope for improvement; allocation of responsibility. Public willingness to pay for environmental improvements. Public concern about environment/pollution relative to other issues. Personal action to improve the environment. Other topics include: acid rain, green belt, modern methods of farming, trade-off between environmental protection and economic growth. Measures of public concern about the environment and pollution relative to other issues replicate those used in ORC surveys; those about trade-off between environmental protection and economic growth replicate those of the Euro-barometer series.
