Making the high country
Tourism worldmaking theories explain how discourse, representation, and practice shape tourism and leisure spaces, yet can neglect the important roles of law, policy and the economic production of tourism. Law and policy changes can reframe discourses of deviance and economic opportunity and tourism promoters capitalize upon these changes. To illustrate this process of legal change and tourism response, we investigated cannabis tourism in the US …
Changing Homeowners’ Lawn Care Behavior to Reduce Nutrient Runoff
The American lawn receives more care, time, and attention from individuals and households than any other natural space (Robbins 2007 Robbins, P. 2007. Lawn people: How grasses, weeds, and chemicals make us who we are. Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press. [Google Scholar]). Given the ubiquity of turf grass across the American landscape and the importance of associated environmental impacts, a growing body of research exists that investigates…
Environmental Concern
As landscapes change, it is important to understand how attachments and meanings attributed to place may affect environmental quality and social well-being. To understand and apply sociological insights to policy and management efforts it is not sufficient to simply demonstrate that individuals or groups have strong emotional connections with a particular geographical locale. Rather, it is imperative to understand the implications of attachments,…

Religion is an important carrier of culture, and several research projects have examined the influence of membership in some denominations on environmental attitudes. Research on connections between the Mormon religion and environmental attitudes have relied on national samples and do not control for the influence of regional but nonreligious…
Community Attachments as Predictors of Local Environmental Concern
This article conceptualizes two distinct dimensions of community attachment-socially based attachment and attachment to a community's natural environment-and examines their connections with attitudes about local environmental issues. The findings indicate that the two dimensions of attachment are distinct and relate differently to environmental concern. In cases where the social attachment dimension is a statistically significant predictor of att…
Dimensions of Community Attachment and Their Relationship to Well-Being in the Amenity-Rich Rural West
This research had two primary objectives: 1) to broaden the sociological construct of community attachment to incorporate both social and natural environment dimensions of attachment, and 2) to examine how variations in attachment relate to two dimensions of well-being in natural amenity-rich rural communities. The specific dimensions of well-being measured are two important factors identified in previous research-collective action and perception…
Is Pesticide Use Socially Acceptable? A Comparison between Urban and Rural Settings

Research questions were generated about the relationship between levels of acceptability of pesticide use and measures of trust in information about pesticides from various sources, perceptions of the safety of pesticides, concerns about exposure, personal experiences with pesticides, place of resid…
