Two Trade-off Experiments to Evaluate the Quality of Residential Environments

Michael Whitbread

Department of the Environment, London

Two experimental surveys are employed in order to identify the subjects' preferences amongst a group of attributes of their residential environments. From these a number of implications for general improvement area policies are drawn. Differences in responses between subjects could not be explained by personal or household characteristics and were attributed to individual differences in tastes and requirements. The quality of the dwelling is found to be the principal determinant of subjects' preferences with environmental considerations relatively unimportant except for proximity to industry and dereliction.
