Survey Information


Aranovus Research is a private and independent socio-environmental research agency working in partnership with scientists and community groups in an exciting community-based initiative to make significant advances to address kauri dieback.   To begin this initiative we would like to understand the views of communities affected by kauri dieback. 
 
We invite people over the age of 18 to complete the survey.  It will take about 10-15 minutes of your time and while many of the questions are very quick to answer, there are a few open questions where you can tell us your opinion about different aspects of kauri dieback.  We value and welcome your input. 
 
The survey questions cover:
  • your connection with New Zealand kauri;
  • the activities you enjoy in kauri forests;
  • your awareness and perceptions of kauri dieback disease;
  • your own experiences with kauri dieback control efforts;
  • your opinion about kauri dieback management.
 
If you wish, you can complete the survey anonymously.  If you do choose to complete it anonymously we do ask for some basic demographic information and in particular we need to know in which suburb (if relevant) and region you live, so we know that we are capturing the views of communities most affected by kauri dieback.
 
At the end of the programme we would like to survey the community again, therefore we provide an opportunity for you to enter your contact details so we may approach you again for your views if you agree.  

All information you provide will be collated by Dr. Marie McEntee from Aranovus Research.   To ensure privacy, the information will be aggregated so that NO information can be attributed to any individuals.

​We welcome any questions.  Marie and the local community contact details are as follows:
