Questionnaire to the Citizens of Bengaluru

We are conducting this questionnaire to understand the opinions and perspectives of the citizens of Bengaluru regarding the use of bamboo to reduce climate change impacts in the city. The goal of the survey is to collect responses from citizens to effectively formulate the project proposal "The Bamboo City - a Nature Based Development Model for Regenerative Cities- A case of Bengaluru 2035" under C40 Cities: Women4Climate Cohort programme.

By collecting your responses, we aim to better understand your opinions. Your input is crucial in helping us shape effective strategies and initiatives that can make a positive difference in making our Bengaluru, a Regenerative City.

SECTION 2: Awareness and Knowledge of Bamboo

Bamboo helps in combating air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing more oxygen. It also helps in increasing ground water recharge by absorbing more rain water due to its wider root system.

How important is protection of the environment to you personally, especially Post-Covid?
*

Unimportant

Relatively important

Very important

Select the environmentally responsible practices you follow regularly?
*

Using eco-friendly products in daily life

Segregating dry and wet waste

Throwing trash only in dustbins

Recycling the waste

Getting emissions test of your vehicles regularly

Using energy efficient appliances

Using Solar heaters/solar roof installations

Planting

Using Water Mindfully

Other:

Required

How familiar are you with bamboo as a sustainable resource?

very familiar

somewhat familiar

not familiar

Bamboo is a highly effective carbon sink (one newly planted bamboo sapling can sequester 2 tons of carbon dioxide in just 7 years. In comparison, a typical hardwood tree will sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide in 40 years) and bamboo is an effective air purifier that gives oxygen 24 hours a day.

Will you plant a bamboo sapling, if provided at zero cost, in your neighbourhood? All it needs is one bucket of water/day (recycled water will also do).

Yes

Most likely

Have you ever personally considered using bamboo-based products to reduce your environmental footprint?

yes

Other:

Select the source of water you use
*

Kaveri Water from BWSSB

Borewell/s

Tankers

Lake

Harvested Rain Water

Required

Please mention the area you are residing. (It will help us to know the situation of water condition in your area) *

Is there a lake in your area? If yes, mention the name and its condition (polluted with domestic sewage / industrial waste discharge/ dried /encroached ) *

‘Wetlands: Treasures of Bangalore (Abused, Polluted, Encroached and Vanishing)’, a study headed by IISc’s Professor, says that 90% of Bengaluru lakes are polluted.

Planting Bamboo along lakes and their catchment areas could provide clean water to all the Citizens of Bengaluru.

Whose measures would be effective in planting bamboo ?

not effective

effective

very effective

Localites

Municipal authorities

Non Government Organisations
