Economic Gardening in Australia: measuring attitudes towards growth
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2006 University of Wollongong researchers were invited to participate in an Economic Gardening project being implemented in the New South Wales local government areas of Shellharbour and Kiama. This paper outlines the history of the “economic gardening” concept and the challenges for participant selection and training. We propose an alterative approach to that undertaken by previous economic gardening proponents based on a direct measure of attitudes towards employment growth. A new methodological approach is presented which aims to derive more reliable predictors of participant selection for future economic gardening projects.
