2. In making our selection our aim was to ensure we had what appeared to be a representative mix of street level and infrastructural incivilities. An open cast mine and an active/disused quarry were combined into a single item.
3. In this analysis the fourth scale has been formed from those items that load on both the first and second dimension. The scales of street level and infrastructural incivilities consist only of items that only loaded on the first and second dimensions respectively. In the case of street level incivilities we have confined the scale to the four items that loaded most heavily on the first dimension, omitting the other two.
4. We should note, however, that the 95% confidence interval around this estimate is particularly wide, ranging from 9.3 to 38.2, and thus not too much weight should be given to the precise estimate of 18.85 given in the table. As thee same is true of a number of other estimates in this table, full details of the confidence intervals are given in an appendix to this chapter.
5. These are: litter & rubbish; vandalism & graffiti; cat & dog mess; amount of traffic; broken glass; uneven pavements; and the availability of safe places to play.
6. The first group comprises factory noise & smells, availability of safe play spaces and availability of pleasant places to walk etc. The second group consists of litter & rubbish together with overhead power lines.
7. While our analysis indicates that urban/rural location has an effect on the incidence of reported incivilities independent of that of deprivation category, we have not uncovered any evidence of an interaction effect between urban/rural location and deprivation category.
8. In full these actions were: contacted an MP or MSP, contacted a government department directly, responded to a consultation document, attended a public meeting, contacted radio, TV or a newspaper, signed a petition, raised the issue in an organisation I already belong to, gone on a protest or demonstration, attended an event organised as part of a consultation exercise, spoken to an influential person, formed a group of like-minded people, joined an existing organisation, actively took part in a campaign ( e.g. leafleting, stuffing envelopes etc), and given money to a campaign or organisation.
9. The Scottish Centre for Social Research was formed in February 2004 as the result of a merger between the National Centre's existing organisation in Scotland and Scottish Health Feedback, an independent research consultancy.
