National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR), 1991 (ICPSR 34636)
Released/updated on: 2013-10-30
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1991-01-01--1992-02-29
The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR) is a series conducted by the Census Bureau for the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. This collection contains information regarding fishing, hunting, and other wildlife-associated activities for 1991. The survey is conducted every 5 years and includes 3 waves. Wave 1 is household-based and consists of a screener with the possibility of detailed interviews asking about a person's hunting, fishing or wildlife-watching activities and the likelihood that they will hunt, fish or watch wildlife. Wave 2 and Wave 3 are person-based, detailed interviews in which respondents were selected for the sample based on data collected from the screener in the first wave. The Sportsmen and Wildlife-Watching surveys for Wave 2 and Wave 3 gathered specific information about respondents' recreational participation including species hunted, fished, and watched; the state in which these activities occurred; number of trips taken; days of participation; and expenditures for food, lodging, transportation, and equipment. The questions asked throughout the 3 waves have been organized by topic into 3 datasets. The three datasets, (1) Screener, (2) Hunting and Fishing, and (3) Nonconsumptive, may contain responses from people surveyed during multiple waves. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, marital status and parental relations, education level, household income, state of residence, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).

Planned Behavior, Environmental Values, and Domestic Water Conservation, in the Truckee River Watershed, [California and Nevada], 1998, 2000 (ICPSR 4185)
Released/updated on: 2007-09-26
Geographic coverage: United States, California, Nevada
Time period: 1998-07-01--1998-08-31, 2000-07-01--2000-10-31
This study examines attitudes and behaviors toward water conservation throughout the Truckee River Watershed in California and Nevada. The project was meant to serve the needs of policy makers and the public within an area facing difficult choices over the allocation of water resources. These data, comprising three separate files, are taken from information gathered in phone surveys from households in the Truckee River Watershed, including Truckee, California, and Reno, Fernley-Wadsworth, and Fallon, Nevada. Part 1, 1998 Data, contains data from the first wave of interviews in which respondents were asked whether or not they had a garden, how much grass was in their lawns, and if they had an automatic watering system. They were also asked questions about water meters, their water bills, and if they had saved more water than in the previous year. The survey also contained questions relating to respondents' environmental opinions, sources of information on conservation, steps taken to increase water conservation, and opinions on new innovations. Part 2, 2000 Data, contains data from the second wave of interviews from a combination of new respondents and the first wave interviews. The respondents were asked questions similar to those asked in the first wave of data collection. Part 3, 1998-2000 Panel Data, contains the data from both waves of data collection for those respondents who participated in both interviews. Demographic information includes age, income, sex, and ZIP code of the respondent, how long the respondent has lived in the watershed area, the amount of their water bill, the value of their home, and how much value any landscaping added to the market value of their home.

ABC News/Stanford University/Time Magazine Environment Poll #1, March 2006 (ICPSR 4658)
Released/updated on: 2007-06-29
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2006-03-01--2006-03-31
This special topic poll, conducted March 9-14, 2006, is part of a continuing series of monthly polls that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. The focus of this data collection was on environmental issues. Respondents rated the condition of the natural environment, and identified the most important environmental problem facing the world. Those polled were asked whether they approved of how President George W. Bush, the United States Congress, and American businesses were handling issues involving the natural environment, how much President Bush's policies, American businesses, and the American public did to help or harm the environment in the past year, and how much respondents wanted them to help the natural environment in the next year. Several questions asked how important the issue of global warming was to respondents, how much they knew about it, how serious a problem it was, and how much could be done to prevent future global warming and reduce its effects. Additional topics addressed changing local and worldwide weather patterns, scientists' assessments of the environment and global warming, whether the federal government should require companies and individuals to take measures to reduce global warming, and what type of vehicle respondents drove. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, religious preference, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), whether respondents had any children or grandchildren, and whether they considered themselves born-again or evangelical Christians.
