Survey to Explore the Perceptions of Climate Change and Ecosystem Services on Migration Decisions of Marshallese People
This dataset contains the questionnaire used and survey results (excel files) from a household questionnaire survey (N=79) conducted for the Marshall Islands Climate and Migration project. Data were collected in migration destination states of Hawaii (Oahu and the Big Island, July-August 2017) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington, October-November 2017). These states were chosen for their high concentration of diaspora groups, support from community-based organizations and NGOs able to facilitate introductions and translation, and linkages to the Marshallese Consulate. Survey questions are available in both English and Marshallese. The household questionnaire generated quantitative and qualitative information by gathering sociodemographic data, the risk-proneness of respondents’ houses, the impacts of environmental stressors, trends in ecosystem services, respondents’ migration histories and future migration intentions, and perceptions on policy interventions.
