Research Background and Objectives
Cork City Council is commencing the development of the Cork City Climate Action Plan . This plan will specify the adaption and mitigation measures that the local authority, and other city stakeholders, will carry out in response to climate change. The plan will meet the needs of the EU’s Mission Cities and the City Council’s statutory LACAP.
Against this background there was a need to access a representative sample of residents in the Cork City Council’s administrative area to establish their views on a number of key issues to inform the development of the plan The information coverage for the survey included the following modules: Resident Profile; Transport; Households; Knowledge & Understanding Of Climate Change & Climate Action; Citywide Action The representative survey of those living in the area was conducted using a face-to-face interviewing methodology, whereby all interviewing was conducted in the respondent’s home
The sampling procedure applied by B&A comprised a multi-staged quota-based approach, with respondents selected in direct proportion to population within each of the Local Electoral Areas (LEA) and City Areas (ref Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028) The survey data was then also weighted as per gender and age within each City Area In total, a sample size of 509 resident interviews was delivered for the Survey, with all interviewing conducted in April and May 2023
