Understanding the Surveys Results

The Built Environment Research Study indexed participants' responses so they could be represented on a scale of 0 - 100. Scores are relative to one another, where the higher the score the more problematic the activity. For more detailed information about this indexing system, named the Problematic Activities Index (PAI), click PROBLEMATIC ACTIVITIES INDEX below.
