Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.


This survey aimed to provide social information relevant to the reconstruction of six areas of Belfast (including Sandy Row, Donegall Pass, Cromac, Shankill and Albertbridge). Information was gathered on residents' housing conditions and experience, attitudes to housing, area and amenities provided.

Users should note that detailed address and previous address variables have been removed from the data file to reduce disclosure risk.


Main Topics:

  • Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions:
    Classification of dwelling, basic amenities of dwelling, whether there are garage facilities, type of tenure (including the amount paid out by household in the case of rented or mortgaged accommodation). Attitudes towards home improvement, moving house (including the type of preferred accommodation), the importance of privacy and of neighbours. Attitudes towards different sorts of dwellings and particularly towards high-rise flats. Opinions on local amenities needed and whether the respondent has any affinity to the district lived in.
  • Background Variables:
    Length of residence in the district and in the present house. Household composition, occupation, income group, religious denomination, organization affiliations, car ownership, extra-mural amenities used by household (i.e. play centres, parks, shops, cinemas etc.), whether the respondent has close relations living in the same district.
