Changing Behaviour/Importance of Environment
Indicator
How the significance of the environment has changed the
behaviour of 2007 Citizens Panel respondents
Status
The status of this indicator is unknown, as reliable baseline
data has not previously been available. However, as of 2008/09, the
State of the Environment Group have secured a number of questions
within the Citizens' Panel which should enable this indictor to be
populated.The Citizens' Panel is a survey organised by
Worcestershire County Council, in conjunctions with the
worcestershire Partnerhsip and District Councils. The survey is
sent annually to 2000 Worcestershire residents in order to learn
their views on a variety of issues. A series of environmental
questions have been included which should provide a measure of thos
things people feel are most important in the natural and historic
environment. The results of the survey should be avaioable by
August 2009, and it is anticipated that this indicator will be
populated in autumn/Winter 2009. Although it cannot be guaranteed,
it is hoped that the environmental questions can be repeated in
subsequent Citizens' Panel surveys - if not annually, then at least
bi-annually. This will allow us to cahrt any change in attitudes
over time.
