This dataset includes: Community questionnaire results regarding Dog and Cat ownership, roaming behaviour results of dogs and cats using remote-sensing camera transects, transect drives and igotU GPS loggers, Interviews conducted to determine the frames of differing animal management stakeholders, the codebook used in NVIVO to analyse them and the results and Causal loop analyses conducted by 10 animal management stakeholder groups. This dataset also includes baseline data conducted before the start of the animal management intervention designed by the stakeholders, these include; door-to-door census data (dog population, proportion of dogs desexed, body condition scores, skin scores and turnover rates), parasitic infection counts conducted via faecal flotations and temporal and spatial roaming movements of dog using igotU GPS Loggers.
