The previous four surveys were carried out in 1986, 1989, 1993 and 1996-1997. Users should note that the UK Data Archive currently holds the first three surveys in addition to this one (SNs 2684, 2685 and 3329), but not the fourth (conducted in 1996-1997).<br> The objectives of the research were to:<br> <li>establish current attitudes to the environment, and knowledge and behaviour regarding environmental matters;<br> <li>allow comparison of current attitudes with those found in previous Department of Environment (DOE)/Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) studies;<br> <li>explore views on a wider range of issues not covered by those previous DOE/DETR studies.<br> </li></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Respondents were asked about general issues, their environmental knowledge and quality of life. Coverage then turned to current and future environmental concerns, activities, policies and access to green spaces and the countryside. Respondents were also asked about their knowledge of and belief in climate change and their expectations of future consequences.<br> <br> <i>Standard Measures</i><br> Social class was determined on the basis of standard Office for National Statistics practice.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 29 January 2001 - 05 April 2001 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Government Office Regions (GORs) <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> Adults aged 18 and over resident in England </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.
