The survey assessed the likelihood that BUI removal would positively impact a community revitalization response (attributes derived via Directed Content Analysis) with the statement: “Provide your opinion on the likelihood that removing this BUI will positively impact the following revitalization attributes.” Each statement was accompanied by a description of the BUI and a matrix of the 15 revitalization attributes established in the above process. Revitalization attribute definitions were provided via the hover feature. Responses were given on a 5-point Likert scale from “very unlikely” (1), “somewhat unlikely” (2), “neutral” (3), “somewhat likely” (4), to “very likely” (5).
