Your Environment – What Matters Surveys


File ID: 8649C4D5-BF77-4769-912B-06A8DA8B4804
Hierarchy Level: dataset
Abstract: Sustainable resource management requires an understanding of the environmental perceptions and issues of people who live in the Waikato region. To develop this understanding WRC has undertaken a number of surveys and interviews to explore trends in community views, including the most recent ‘Your Environment – What Matters?’
Statement: Your Environment – What Matters contributes to the monitoring of indicators for the Waikato Regional Council’s long term plan and the Waikato Progress Indicators. Your Environment – What Matters combines two surveys – EAAA (Environmental Awareness, Attitudes, and Actions Survey) and the NEP (New Ecological Paradigm Survey). The EAAA track residents’ awareness, attitudes, and actions towards the environment. The NEP scale is one of many tools developed to measure people’s environmental attitudes and underlying ecological worldviews. This tool has become one of the most widely-used measures of environmental concern in the world, and has been used in more than 100 studies globally. Specific uses of the surveys include: •Provision of indicators of the current state of people’s environmental awareness, attitudes and actions with comparisons to the 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2013 and 2016 surveys. Indicators are reported through the Waikato Regional Council and the Waikato Progress Indicator websites. •Provision of information to assess the potential for, and barriers to, undertaking environmentally beneficial behaviours for programme design and implementation.

Abstract: Links to the Your Environment - What Matters Survey 2019 data and report. A survey of residents of the Waikato Region. May 2019
Statement: Prepared by Versus Research - METHOD Previous years have seen data collection primarily completed using Computer-Aided Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and supplemented with face to face intercept interviewing to ensure a representative sample was collected across the region. However, the significant decrease in landline ownership over the past three years has made collecting a robust sample using CATI difficult. As such, the 2019 survey method changed to a mixed method approach to data collection. The collection methods were designed to ensure that a wide cross section of residents were reached within this project. A total n=1,250 surveys were completed across all sources. Sample sources for data collection comprised of the following methods: • Electoral roll: this was the primary sample source for this project, with n=14,000 invitations sent to Waikato Region residents. Each invite included a link to the survey for residents to complete the survey online. Any residents unable to complete the survey online were able to request a paper copy be sent to them. • Online collection: Versus Research collected additional surveys online through paid social media advertisements and also through a third party panel provider. • Intercept interviewing was undertaken, and hard copy surveys were distributed across the region and were placed in retail outlets and supermarkets. • Telephone interviewing: A small telephone component was included to ensure there were a sufficient number of responses achieved in some of the smaller rural areas. Please see the report for further details.
