Benchmarking public opinions toward regional economic development issues

Article Abstract:

The establishment of public opinion-based benchmarks is critical in the formulation of economic development strategies. A survey study has been conducted to measure public perception on several regional economic development issues such as current economic development activities, fund allocation, the use of incentives to attract domestic and foreign businesses and preference regarding foreign and domestic employers. The results provided a number of critical benchmarks to measure the community's support for economic development programs.
