Public Attitudes to the Environment in Scotland, 2002

It aimed to provide data on the environmental knowledge, actions and attitudes of a sample of the Scottish population, and to chart how these concerns have changed since the last Scottish survey on the subject, conducted in 1991, which is not held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA).

Furthermore, the 2002 survey also sought to measure what the Scottish public are doing to help protect the environment and what they think government and others should be doing in this capacity.<br> <br> The survey was designed to be representative of those in the Scottish population aged over 16 years and resident in private households. It was also constructed to allow reliable comparison of responses between respondents in rural and urban areas.
