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.<br> 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.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 01 September 1986 - 14 September 1986 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England and Wales <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Standard Regions <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Persons aged 18 and over in England and Wales during 1986 </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Repeated cross-sectional study<br> seven waves - 1986, 1989, 1993, 1996-97, 2001, 2007 and 2009.
