Virtual forests and human well-being
Preferences for bio-textile sneakers
Bio-based materials incorporated into clothing., sourced from biomass, offer potential advantages by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing the environmental impact of the fashion sector. This paper explores the preferences of young adult consumers for sneakers featuring bio-based materials. Employing a discrete choice experiment integrated with attitudinal questions, we examine the relationship between the bio-based content in the uppe…
Relaxing in nature
The influence of forest characteristics on psychological well-being
The effect of forest variables on the restoration of people's mood was investigated. • Environmental and forest parameters were evaluated in Italian inland areas. • Restorative Outcome Scale was applied for psychological analysis. • Season and greenness indices show a significative relation with well-being. • The integrated role of social and environmental variables for ROS was confirmed. This study investigates the influence of forest characteri…
Demographics and wildlife value orientations
Wildlife value orientations affect how people connect with animals. Traditionalists primarily consider wildlife as a source of sustenance. Societal values, however, are shifting toward mutualism, which sees wildlife as deserving of rights and care. This article examined factors that influence wildlife value orientations of tourists (n = 420) in an Alpine region in Italy, where human-wildlife conflicts are common. The questionnaire included 14 wil…
Assessing tourists’ preferences for conservation of large carnivores in the Italian Alps using a discrete choice experiment
A study on tourists’ preferences for wildlife conservation in the Italian Alps using a choice experiment is presented. The study focuses on wolves, lynx and salamanders, which are in danger of extinction. Welfare analysis suggests that WTP for varying sizes of animal population increases up to 45–55 animals and then decreases. This indicates that tourists are willing to financially contribute to an increase in the number of animals, but they do n…
Valuing nature-based recreation in forest areas in Italy
Nature-based recreation provides benefits facilitating social interactions and cohesion, creating job opportunities, and stimulating the local economy. The aim of this study was to assess the recreational economic value of different forest areas considering two aspects: stand features and proximity of the forest to urban areas. An individual Travel Cost Method (TCM) was applied in three study areas in Italy involving 603 visitors in the survey. T…
The role of emotions on tourists’ willingness to pay for the Alpine landscape
Previous research suggests that landscape preferences vary systematically amongst people. While various sources of heterogeneity have been considered in landscape preference literature, the role of emotions on willingness to pay for landscape features has never been examined. This article presents results of a choice experiment carried out for eliciting tourists’ for Alpine landscapes. The emotional state of respondents was used to model heteroge…
Including Value Orientations in Choice Models to Estimate Benefits of Wildlife Management Policies
How many bad apples are in a bunch? An experimental investigation of perceived pesticide residue risks
Links between Mountain Communities and Environmental Services in the Italian Alps
The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of mountain communities in increasing the value of environmental services. The assumption of the research is that, for historical and cultural reasons there is a greater sense of local identity and social capital in alpine communities and thus greater attention to the environment. In these communities individuals with a higher level of social capital will have a greater tendency to play a tangib…
