The UK national noise attitude survey 2012 - the sample, analysis and some results

摘要

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has embarked upon the third in a series of National Noise Attitude Surveys designed to allow the UK Government to understand current attitudes to noise (environmental, neighbour and neighbourhood) and to detect any substantive changes in attitudes to noise in the UK since previous surveys conducted in 1991 and 1999/2000. The survey has been designed to provide the Government with information about attitudes to various aspects of environmental, neighbour and neighbourhood noise; and to monitor the implementation of the Government's Noise Policy as set out in the Noise Policy Statement for England. More detailed descriptions of the survey method and questionnaire design have previously been published, whilst the survey was being conducted. This paper summarises the design and describes the final sample obtained and the analysis undertaken. Some main strategic findings are presented. It is anticipated that a fuller description of these results will be available in the presentation.
