ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF WATER AND ENERGY UTILITIES IN JORDAN AND EXPECTATIONS OF DISI WATER  

PAP recently coordinated an omnibus survey on behalf of its strategic partners to explore public perceptions towards water and energy utilities, Disi water supply, and exposure of a behaviour change campaign implemented by the Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC). In general, the purpose of the survey was to measure public attitudes towards the water and energy utilities, develop a communication strategy for the utility companies based on the findings, and assist in the development of communications regarding public concerns; namely, issues related to Disi water. Additional data regarding respondents' exposure to and knowledge gained from the ERC's publicity campaign are available in another report.
The research methodology employed structured, quantitative, in-person interviews with 1000 respondents representing adult males and females across the twelve governorates of Jordan. Surveys were conducted for three weeks starting July 17, 2012.
