0 Percent Surveyed Support Further Telescope Development on Mauna Kea (with Conditions)
Cultural and environmental protections need to be addressed

HONOLULU In a statewide public opinion survey conducted by QMark Research and Polling, 90 percent of Hawaii residents surveyed felt it was possible for new and larger telescopes to be built on Mauna Kea at appropriate locations, provided proper care is given to protecting the cultural and natural resources on Mauna Kea. Kuiwalu, the consulting firm hired by the University of Hawaii to develop a comprehensive management plan (CMP) for the Mauna Kea Science Reserve, commissioned QMark Research and Polling to conduct the survey.
We were aware that there were people in the community who felt strongly about telescopes on Mauna Kea--either in favor of new telescope installations or adamantly opposed to building additional telescopes on the mountain. We were very interested in gaining an objective view of the broader communitys thinking, including the native Hawaiian community, with regard to a variety of issues, including telescope development. We felt a scientifically conducted public opinion poll on existing and future uses of Mauna Kea would provide the best indication of community sentiment, said Dawn Chang, Principal of Kuiwalu. It is important for us to understand how, at least a representative sampling of the community, feels about Mauna Kea as we develop the CMP.
The survey indicated 80 percent of respondents acknowledge that Mauna Kea is considered a premier location for astronomical observation. Forty four percent of those polled were aware that the summit of Mauna Kea is considered one of the most sacred sites in the Hawaiian Islands
