Walking & Public Space – Public Opinion Survey 2009

Paths for All in partnership with Living Streets Scotland have commissioned Scotland's first ever national opinion survey into public attitudes to walking and public space.

Paths for All and Living Streets want to understand what issues matter most to the public and what potential barriers stop people from walking more and becoming a healthier society.

This survey was designed to add to an existing body of knowledge regarding walking habits and issues in Scotland and was conducted on behalf of the organisations by the Progressive Partnership. Information from the research will be used to inform strategy in the future.

The data was gathered using the Scottish Opinion Omnibus Survey. It is a telephone survey focusing on the entire Scottish population and involved a total of 1,001 national representative telephone interviews with adults aged 18+ across Scotland. The interviews were conducted over the period 28 th April to 6 th May 2009.
