Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS): 2011

The Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) parallels the Ecological Survey of Central Arizona (formerly, Survey 200) as a long-term monitoring program of the CAP LTER. Every five years, the PASS research team surveys households in selected neighborhoods in the metropolitan Phoenix area to better understand perceptions, values, and behaviors on several key environmental issues, including water conservation, urban growth, air pollution, land conservation, biodiversity and urban climate change, as well as perceptions about their neighborhoods. The survey was piloted in 2001-2002 in eight neighborhoods in Phoenix with 302 respondents and grew to 40 neighborhoods and 800 households in 2005. The PASS research team added five new neighborhoods to the survey design in 2011 to incorporate areas co-located with other CAP research endeavors and to expand the sample of low-income neighborhoods and included additional questions relevant to the housing crisis and recession and access to healthy food in the city.

菲尼克斯地区社会调查（Phoenix Area Social Survey, PASS）与亚利桑那州中部生态调查（前身为Survey 200）均为CAP长期生态研究计划（CAP Long-Term Ecological Research, CAP LTER）下设的长期监测项目。每五年，PASS研究团队都会对菲尼克斯都会区选定社区的住户开展调查，以更深入地理解公众在多项关键环境议题上的认知、价值观与行为模式，这些议题涵盖水资源节约、城市扩张、空气污染、土地保护、生物多样性及城市气候变化，同时也包含居民对自身居住社区的感知情况。该调查于2001-2002年在菲尼克斯的8个社区启动试点，共回收302份有效问卷；2005年时，调研范围扩展至40个社区、800户住户。2011年，PASS研究团队在调研设计中新增5个社区，以纳入与其他CAP研究项目重叠的区域，并扩大低收入社区的样本规模；同时新增了与住房危机、经济衰退以及城市健康食品获取途径相关的调研问题。
