Valuing the Water Environment: A survey of Scottish Public Attitudes
The Environment and Rural Affairs Department of the Scottish Executive commissioned a module of questions in the April / May 2006 wave of Ipsos's Scottish Social Policy Monitor to inform policy in relation to the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003. This provided representative results on the public's understanding and views of the water environment in terms of: the personal, social and economic importance of the water environment; the use of the water environment for leisure and recreation; perceptions of the quality of the water environment and priorities for improvements; understanding of the threats to the quality of the water environment; and the future of the water environment.
