Phoenix Area Social SurveyASS II Phoenix Area Social Survey II - performed during 2006 in the Central Arizona-Phoenix area

PASS is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers affiliated with the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP LTER) and the Decision Center for a Desert City at Arizona State University. PASS uses social surveys of individuals in selected neighborhoods as methodology to explain the choices and actions of households and communities that influence the biophysical environment and the feedbacks of the environment to the quality of human life. After a successful pilot study in 2001-2002, data gathering for a much larger survey of 800 households in 40 neighborhoods is nearly completed. PASS 2006 is the benchmark for planned long-term social monitoring that will complement ecological monitoring in the CAP LTER study region

PASS是亚利桑那州立大学下辖的亚利桑那中部-凤凰城长期生态研究站（Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER, CAP LTER）与沙漠城市决策中心（Decision Center for a Desert City）的研究人员联合开展的跨学科合作项目。该项目以针对选定社区居民的社会调查为核心研究方法，旨在解析影响生物物理环境的家庭与社区决策及行为，以及环境对人类生活质量产生的反馈机制。2001至2002年的试点研究取得圆满成功后，针对40个社区共计800户家庭的大规模数据采集工作已接近完成。PASS 2006作为基准数据集，将为后续规划的长期社会监测工作提供参照标准，该监测工作将与CAP LTER研究区域内的生态监测形成互补。
