| Abstract | A project undertaken to advance the systematic analysis of public responses, attitudes, opinions, preferences, and values relating to the environment is discussed in this report, the fourth in a series of eight. The reports fall into two general categories: five describe and compare responses to representative milieus in New York, Boston, Cambridge (Massachusetts) and Columbus (Ohio), together with a comparative analysis of the four cities; the remaining analyze the relationships among responses to these milieus and interpret the resulting configurations of environmental traits. Observers, varying systematically in age, sex, occupation, education, and residential background, individually traversed a set of half-mile walks, selected to provide a representative array of local environments. Analysis of observer responses for Columbus (Ohio) show considerable disparity for a composite image--dull and unexciting, interesting and pleasant, clean, new and old: new in being different from what it once was, old in retaining so many physical traces of a real or fancied past. The judgmental and perceptual differences among Columbus observers--male university students and local clubwomen--were also analyzed and explanations suggested for these differences in terms of their environmental and sociological backgrounds.
