Assessment of an indicator of community appreciation of biodiversity. Data package for the Biodiversity Indicator Program: First assessment

This data collection contains the data, processes and descriptions of workflows required to produce the community appreciation of biodiversity indicator, as used in the NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program Report card: Community appreciation of biodiversity, Supplement to the NSW Biodiversity Outlook Report, first assessment. The data set and analysis draws on the 2015 iteration of the ‘Who cares about the environment’ survey conducted by the Social Research Centre (a subsidiary of the Australian National University) on behalf of the then NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). Although not developed to measure Community appreciation of biodiversity, the survey included questions that were related to biodiversity that could be used to measure the indicator dimensions, that is, cognitive, affective, and behavioural appreciation of biodiversity. Details of the development of the Community appreciation of biodiversity indicator and the baseline test of it are available in ‘Assessment of an indicator of community appreciation of biodiversity’ technical report. See related links to these publications. \nLineage: The data set and analysis draws on the 2015 iteration of the ‘Who cares about the environment’ survey conducted by the Social Research Centre (a subsidiary of the Australian National University) on behalf of the then NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH).

本数据集涵盖了用于生成**社区生物多样性感知指标**（Community Appreciation of Biodiversity）所需的各类数据、处理流程与工作流说明，该指标应用于《新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）生物多样性指标项目报告卡：社区生物多样性感知》，即《新南威尔士州生物多样性展望报告》补充材料的首次评估版本。本数据集与分析工作基于澳大利亚国立大学附属社会研究中心（Social Research Centre）受时任新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室（Office of Environment and Heritage, OEH）委托开展的2015年版“谁在乎环境”（Who cares about the environment）问卷调查。尽管该问卷最初并非为测量社区生物多样性感知而设计，但其包含了与生物多样性相关的问题，可用于测算该指标的三大维度，即认知、情感与行为层面的生物多样性感知。《社区生物多样性感知指标评估》（"Assessment of an indicator of community appreciation of biodiversity"）技术报告中记载了该指标的研发细节与基线测试过程，相关出版物的链接可参见附件。
数据溯源：本数据集与分析工作再次基于澳大利亚国立大学附属社会研究中心受时任新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室委托开展的2015年版“谁在乎环境”问卷调查。关于该2015年版问卷的更多信息，可参阅技术报告《2015年新南威尔士州民众环境知识、态度与行为调研》（"Surveying the environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of people in New South Wales in 2015", DPIE 2021）。原始数据以SPSS文件格式交付至研究团队，文件名为“2015 Who cares data CAB indicator.sav”。分析工作采用SPSS软件完成。数据处理的具体细节记载于本数据集附带的数据溯源文档中，该文档补充了《社区生物多样性感知指标技术报告》中记载的方法与结果。相关出版物的链接可参见附件。
