Stakeholders' perception of human-leopard interactions – A preliminary study of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai

This repository will host anonymized data collected for the study titled "Stakeholders' Perception of Human-Leopard Interactions: A Preliminary Study of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai" as part of the PhD research requirements. The study was conducted between December 2020 and August 2021 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, with the approval of the Human Ethics Committee at Western Sydney University (H13741). The data collection methods included surveys and semi-structured interviews conducted online and in face-to-face consultations.

Data Transformation: During the data analysis phase, prior to conducting any reliability tests, we transformed the data to ensure that all items were consistent with each other in terms of what an agreement or disagreement meant for the construct or question being measured (Shrout & Fleiss, 1979; Revicki, 2014; Koo & Li, 2016). This dataset contains the transformed data responses from the stakeholders who consented to participate in this research.
