| Annotation | People on low incomes are often those worst affected by environmental problems; and environmental policies sometimes conflict with their social and economic well-being. Little is known, however, about their environmental views and priorities. A report by Kate Burningham and Diana Thrush of the University of Surrey explored the environmental concerns of members of disadvantaged groups in four settings: a deprived urban neighbourhood; a deprived urban estate where people live close to busy roads; an ex-mining village where people live close to a chemical factory; and a rural area within a National Park. These findings outline the nature of concerns, and that small-scale changes could improve the quality of life for local residents. The report, based on research in Glasgow, London, North Wales and the Peak District, is "Rainforests are a long way from here: the environmental concerns of disadvantaged groups" and published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by YPS. (RH). |
