The Scottish Household Survey (SHS) asks adults how safe they feel walking alone in their neighbourhood after dark. From 2018, this question was asked in every odd year. Prior to 2018 the question was asked every year. The data reported here is representative of adults and is available by:
• Local Authority
• Gender of the randomly selected adult
In the 2018 SHS the gender question was revised. In previous years interviewers asked if household members were 'male' or 'female'. In the 2018 survey the options given were: 'man/boy', 'woman/girl' and two additional responses: ‘identified in another way’ and ‘refused’. In order to remain harmonised with other statistics.gov.scot datasets, the previous response options 'male' and 'female' will be maintained.
• Urban/Rural Classification
• Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation
• Type Of Tenure
• Household Type
• Ethnicity of the randomly selected adult
• Walking distance to nearest green or blue space
The question asking about walking distance to nearest greenspace informs the National Indicator on Access to Green and Blue Spaces. However before 2019, even though the list of spaces included riversides and beaches, the question text used the term "green or open space". In 2019 for one half of the sample this was changed slightly to "green, blue or open spaces" to check if including the word "blue" made any difference to the response given to the question about walking distance or the biennial follow-up questions asking about satisfaction with and frequency of use of nearest green or blue space. No statistically significant difference was found.
