results in relation to those of other studies
Goddard, Dougill et al 2013
private gardens
mean number of wildlife-friendly features across all households was 5.1 (+/- 2.7)
could compare this to sum of nature provisioning features in my study
bird feeders were the most prevalent
number of wildlife-friendly features in gardens shown to be influenced by socio-demographic and ecological factors
age and education level had sig influence in no. of wildlife friendly features
for my study, age, but not education, shown to influence no. of wildlife features present
no. of wildlife friendly features increased with age and education level
garden size shown to influence no. of wildlife friendly features in private gardens
my study - influence of plot size shown to influence number of nature provisioning features/ activities
no. of wildlife features highest in larger gardens
attitudes
personal motives and barriers for wildlife gardening at home
motives
satisfaction from attracting wildlife into their gardens often based on a sense f wonderment for the natural world
seeing garden wildlife has a pos impact on qual of life or emotional wellbeing
results of my study corroborate this > many responded to enjoy seeing wildlife in allotment, and others pointed to spiritual/emotional wellbeing
householders motivated via process of positive feedback (wildllife gardening activities rewarded by evidence of success)
duty to act on biodiversity decline
results from my survey corroborate this
barriers
neat and tidiness
innate or moral desire expressed by respondants to keep garden neat and tidy
majority of residents expressed preference for neat gardens
acts as a considerable barrier to wildlife friendly gardening
environmental values/environmental concern had no influence on WRI
differs to my research in that there was a clear pos correlation between those who identified with the environmental crisis and were compelled to do more and the nature provisioning score
those who are passionate about wildlife, social pressures to maintain a neat garden are not a barrier to make wildlife friendly gardens
saw this with cliff and lesley
neighbourhood mimicry
personal advice from friends, relatives and neighbors
most important ifnluence on gardening amongst survey respondants
construction of wildlife friendly features inspired neighbours to do so
my results corroborate thin in some way (peers would make me more likely to increase nature provision on allotments, though no evidence to back it up)
barriers
knowledge
interviewees reporting did not have enough info on wildlife-friendly gardening
knowledge highlighted as a barrier in transcripts and in survey response
lack of interest
'ignorance of wildlife-friendly gardening not as an excuse' and that info was available to households but they have "got to want to know".
Sarah identifies lack of knowledge as a barrier as not an excuse to do more, point that info was available on youtube and the web
opportunities
monetary incentives for wildlife-friendly gardening were percieved to be ineffective
perception that money was not a barrier or that money would not be a effective incentive was also corroborated by Bustardthorpe and Wigginton, though perhaps by different reasons.
