Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS): 2017

The Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) was established in 2001 as part of the Central Arizona–Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) project's long-term monitoring program. Every five years, the PASS team surveys households in select neighborhoods in metropolitan Phoenix in order to better understand people's perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors on environmental issues such heat stress and climate change, water scarcity and policy, landscape choices and management, and urban wildlife and biodiversity. In 2001, the first PASS was piloted in 8 neighborhoods (n= 302) in the City of Phoenix, Arizona. Aiming for about 20 respondents per neighborhood, the 2006 (n= 808) and 2011 (n= 806) samples were expanded to cover a broader range of neighborhoods (40-45) that better represent the geography of the greater metropolitan area, both in terms of location and demographics. In order to characterize and examine residents' views and practices in particular Phoenix-area neighborhoods, the 2017 survey was redesigned to target a larger number of people (~65) in fewer (12) neighborhoods across the region. The new sampling design allows for intensive neighborhood analyses that link residents' perceptions, attitudes, and decisions to the local ecology (e.g., urban infrastructure, landscape attributes, species composition). The 2017 PASS neighborhoods were distributed across CAP LTER ecological monitoring sites at green/blue infrastructure such as the Salt River, Tempe Town Lake, and Indian Bend Wash, in addition to desert preserves such as South Mountain Park and McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Ecological data also collected at these sites included climate and temperature data, nutrient fluxes, and wildlife community measurements. In each neighborhood, for example, the local bird community was measured at three point-count stations so that we can link biodiversity metrics to people's views and actions that affect them. Overall, the 2017 PASS survey explores major themes integral

Fine-scale meteorological observations from walking traverses in two Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) 2017 neighborhoods (2019)

This dataset includes human-biometeorological observations from 2.5 km walking traverses with a mobile weather station. The traverses occurred in two 2017 Phoenix Area Social Survey neighborhoods (U18: South Phoenix/Salt River (Audubon) and W15: Camelback Mountain) on one day in June and October, at 12pm and 4pm on each day. Specifically, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and radiant energy (infrared and solar radiation) in 3-dimensions were measured at 2-second intervals. Additionally, mean radiant temperature was calculated from the radiation measurements. The meteorological observations are spatially referenced with latitude and longitude coordinates. The paths through the neighborhoods were chosen to maximize proximity to PASS 2017 participants’ homes.

Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS): 2006

The first Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) was conducted as a pilot study in 2001. Our main objective was to examine the reciprocal relationships, or the interplay, between the social and natural environments in an urban ecosystem. In order to begin to understand this complex process, social scientists affiliated with the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER conducted a pilot survey of 302 residents in 8 neighborhoods in the city of Phoenix. Our central research questions asked how neighborhood social ties, values, and behaviors are connected with one another in ways that reflect willingness to act socially and politically with respect to the environment, and how changing environmental conditions, in turn, affect the quality of human life. The survey measured the social ties of individuals to their communities, values and sentiments regarding communities, behaviors that affect the natural environment, and satisfaction with the quality of life in the area. The second wave of PASS was conducted in 2006 with an expanded sample size in 40 neighborhoods across the metropolitan region. Many of the questions about community were repeated from the pilot study and the new survey added items for perceptions, values, and behavior concerning water supply and conservation; land use, preservation and growth management; air quality and transportation; and climate change and the urban heat island. This data package previously contained data relating to a 2001 iteration of the Phoenix Area Social Survey. Those data are now available at the following location: "Harlan, Sharon; Kirby, Andrew; Nelson, Amy; Hope, Diane; Pijawka, K.

Numerical summaries of vegetation indices and land surface temperature derived from remotely sensed imagery in Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) neighborhoods of central Arizona

This project calculates two vegetation indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and land surface temperature (LST) from remotely sensed imagery. NDVI and SAVI are calculated from the 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2017 NAIP imagery (1m resolution). LST is calculated from Landsat 5 and 8 imagery (30m resolution) from summer months in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Summary values are calculated for each of the aforementioned data resources for 2011 and 2017 Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) study area boundaries. Tabular summaries of the mean, median, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of the NDVI, SAVI, and LST values for the 2011 and 2017 Phoenix Area Social Survey boundaries (45 and 12 neighborhoods, respectively) are provided. Javascript code used to process NDVI, SAVI, and LST imagery, and R code used to calculate numerical summaries of NDVI, SAVI, and LST in PASS neighborhoods are included with this dataset. Locations and areas of PASS study neighborhood boundaries and source imagery used to calculate these summaries are available through the Environmental Data Initiative - see resouce listing in the methods of this data set.

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.

Point-count bird censusing: bird abundance and diversity in CAP LTER Phoenix Area Social Survey neighborhoods throughout the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, 2006-2016

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 of 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 over 40 neighborhoods and 800 households in 2005. Bird survey locations were established in each of the PASS neighborhoods, colocated as much as possible with the corresponding ESCA survey location in the neighborhood. Bird surveys were conducted biannualy (spring, winter) approximately the year of and the year after each PASS. In a given season, each bird survey location is visited independently by three birders who count all birds seen or heard within a 15-minute window.

Phoenix Area Social Survey I, Sites

The dataset contains a subset of the 200-point survey created for PASS (Phoenix Area Social Survey) project. The main objective of PASS is to examine the reciprocal relationships, or the interplay, between the social and natural environments in an urban ecosystem. In order to understand this complex process, social scientists affiliated with the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project conducted a longitudinal social survey of Phoenix residents in 2001. The survey measured the social ties of individuals to their communities, values and sentiments regarding communities, behaviors that affect the natural environment, and satisfaction with the quality of life in the area. The community that people experience most intimately is the neighborhood. Our central research questions ask how neighborhood social ties, values, and behaviors are connected with one another in ways that reflect willingness to act socially and politically with respect to the environment, and how changing environmental conditions, in turn, affect the quality of human life. PASS II is being designed and will be administered in 2006.

Phoenix Area Social SurveyASS II Phoenix Area Social Survey II - performed during 2006 in the Central Arizona-Phoenix area

PASS is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers affiliated with the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP LTER) and the Decision Center for a Desert City at Arizona State University. PASS uses social surveys of individuals in selected neighborhoods as methodology to explain the choices and actions of households and communities that influence the biophysical environment and the feedbacks of the environment to the quality of human life. After a successful pilot study in 2001-2002, data gathering for a much larger survey of 800 households in 40 neighborhoods is nearly completed. PASS 2006 is the benchmark for planned long-term social monitoring that will complement ecological monitoring in the CAP LTER study region

Ecological and social Interactions in urban parks: bird surveys in local parks in the central Arizona-Phoenix metropolitan area

Our central objective is to use small, neighborhood parks in Phoenix to study: (1) the ways in which ecological processes are influenced by human values, use, and management; and (2) the ways in which human attitudes and activities, and the services valued by humans, are influenced by ecological characteristics and processes. Elucidating this coupling in Phoenix parks will itself be a significant step towards understanding the complexities of human-nature interactions. The information gathered in addressing the central objective, though, can and should be used to assess potential trajectories for ecological processes. Our second objective is to develop trajectories for potential changes in ecosystem services in the Phoenix metropolitan area, given economic and demographic trends, and given the signal of human-nature interactions among different social groups.

Phoenix Area Social Survey: 2006 and 2011 Joined Dataset

The Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) is a longitudinal initiative funded by the National Science Foundation through the Central Arizona–Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) program at Arizona State University. In 2006 and 2011, the PASS research team surveyed residential addresses in selected neighborhoods in the metropolitan Phoenix area to better understand perceptions, values, and behaviors regarding several key environmental issues, including water conservation, urban growth, air pollution, land conservation, biodiversity and urban climate change. To facilitate longitudinal analysis, PASS researchers have joined the 2006 and 2011 PASS datasets across questions common to both surveys. The resulting codebook (see link to codebook and report below) provides details on each question in the 2006 and 2011 joined dataset and methodological information. Since the PASS was originally designed to focus on neighborhood-level changes over time, the survey strategy followed residential addresses over time, not individual respondents. The PASS 2006 and 2011 joined dataset captures the 365 residential addresses that were surveyed during both years. A sub-set of this dataset is the 196 individuals who responded to the PASS in 2006 and 2011. Researchers interested in comparing responses from the same respondent over time can do so by using the Screen2006A question in the 2011 survey to create this data sub-set.
