Community Foundation on the Edge. Do Australians Trust Their Local Community?

With the recent Canada study using mext’s IP HuTrust® to investigate community trust in politicians and community services compared to major brands like Google and Blackberry; mext teamed up with AOR to investigate the state of Community Trust amongst Australian citizens.

What we found is that only half of Oz residents surveyed say they trust their local community, 14% actively distrust their community and 15% strongly trust their community.

We looked at 4 critical community engagement areas:
1)Neighbour relations - How we engage with neighbours
2)Community support & safety – willingness to volunteer and report offences
3)Community prosperity – keeping local dollars local and willingness to recommend living in my area
4)Political support – voting and council support

Analysing the trust drivers and inhibitors for communities and their local councils.
