Scottish Environmental Attitudes and Behaviours Survey, 2008

The <i>Scottish Environmental Attitudes and Behaviours Survey, 2008</i> (SEABS) was commissioned by the Scottish Government Rural and Environment Analytical Services (REAS) Division and undertaken by Ipsos MORI Scotland. The aim of the survey was to provide representative information among the adults in Scotland on their environmental attitudes and behaviours, supporting the development and delivery of environmental policy, relating specifically to climate change, sustainable development and well-being, but also of relevance to other policy areas.<br> <br> The starting point for the SEABS questionnaire was the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) <i>Survey of Public Attitudes and Behaviours toward the Environment, 2007</i> (available at the UKDA under SN 5741), and a related DEFRA-commissioned omnibus survey (not available from the UKDA). Following a review of other relevant studies, the questionnaire was developed by Ipsos MORI Scotland, working in collaboration with the Scottish Government Project Management Team, the Greener Scotland Directorate and the Climate Change Division.<br>
