Aspiration and perceived reality questionnaire items for pro-environmental behaviour enablement in built-environment design practice

This record contains the survey items used to generate the quantitative measures reported in Simpson & Uttley (2025), Designing for Pro-Environmental Behaviour Change: The Aspiration–Reality Gap of Built Environment Designers. The instrument comprises 10 Likert-type items (1 = “Never”, 10 = “Always”) measuring two constructs: Aspiration and Perceived reality, across five domains where built-environment designers can influence pro-environmental behaviours: sustainable transport, recycling/waste, food growing, energy conservation, and biodiversity-supportive gardening. The file provides the exact item wording and response anchors as implemented in the online questionnaire (Google Forms; administered to UK-based practitioners in February–April 2024).This deposit includes only the subset of items analysed in the associated article (not the full wider questionnaire), to support transparency and reproducibility of the published results.Suggested citation: Simpson, J., & Uttley, J.
