Output Details
This paper arose out of further analysis of data originally gathered as part of research commissioned by the Forestry Commission and English Nature. It presents original evidence on the role of childhood experience in relation to adult perceptions and use of green space in an area where there has been much qualitative research but less robust quantitative analysis. Innovative techniques such as AnswerTree help to interpret results in the context of contemporary societal concerns over relationships between health and environment.
