The Otago Regional Council (ORC) commissioned Versus Research to understand residents' values and perceptions about water in Otago. The research aimed to clarify key water values, engage the public on what matters most about the region's rivers, streams, and coasts, and understand perceptions of water quality. Residents highlighted important attributes such as availability for future generations, access for everyone, healthy ecosystems, suitability for recreation, and natural aesthetic qualities, which were highly rated across all waterbodies.
How do we interact with the different bodies of water in Otago? What social values are influenced by the state or access of our water? Research and publications on Social Values help us understand the connections.
