Description :
There has been little enquiry about how Australians perceive economic good in the context of the use of environmental resources. The residents of five State government electorates of Perth were surveyed. Their perceptions of economics, the environment and resources in relation to public policy were assessed. The paper examines the spatial variability of the results and raises the possibility of developing a socio-locational indicator of attitudes which could provide a tool for policy implementation.
