Public perceptions of New Zealand's environment: 2013

Hughey, Kenneth F. D.; Kerr, Geoffrey N.; Cullen, Ross
Abstract
The seventh (having begun in 2000) survey of people’s perceptions of the state of the New Zealand environment was undertaken over February-March 2013. The survey is based on the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) model of environmental reporting and remains the only long-running survey of this type in the world. For the first time this survey was undertaken only electronically and this has made it challenging to compare results with the earlier paper-based surveys. New Zealanders’ perceptions of all the main resource areas (e.g., air, freshwater, biodiversity) were tested. Statistical analyses identified the roles of several socio-demographic variables.
