Social Science and Natural Resource Recreation Management
Increasing use of parks, wilderness and other natural environments for recreational purposes has led to the recurrent observation that managing the is not enough. Human and social factors must be managed as well. Wider recognition of this fact has provided considerable impetus for the use of social science theory and data as a means of enhancing recreational experiences without causing damage to environmental resources. This book illuminates the …
Institutional Diversity in the Planning Process Yields Similar Outcomes for Vegetation in Ecological Restoration
Conservation organizations undertaking ecological restoration and the lands they manage constitute a social-ecological system (SES). We implemented SES analysis to examine the relationship between diversity in organizational structure and restoration planning processes, and vegetation outcomes on the ground. Understanding the restoration consequences of multiple approaches to planning and implementation is relevant to assessing the resilience of …
From Oh to Aha
Despite the anecdotal evidence of experiences that shift the self-nature relationship, which we identify as Environmental Epiphanies, little is known about the characteristics and patterns of such experiences. In this study, we build on previous theoretical and conceptual frameworks of the Environmental Epiphany concept and report descriptive and typological findings based on in-depth interviews with 50 participants who had experienced Environmen…
Shared Principles of Restoration Practice in the Chicago Wilderness Region
We describe the rules, norms, and strategies (institutional statements) that characterize ecological restoration across 10 organizations in the Chicago Wilderness region. Our use of Ostrom's IAD ADICO grammar tool is novel in both context (non-extractive resource management) and data type (qualitative interviews). Results suggest that, in contrast to a focus on rules in the literature, restoration is overwhelmingly guided by strategies (instituti…
Perceived Intergenerational Differences in the Transmission of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in Two Indigenous Groups from Colombia and Guatemala
This study used the Developmental Niche (DN) framework to examine perceived intergenerational changes in the transmission of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Under a cross-sectional and exploratory design, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample, stratified by gender and generation, of 30 Uitoto (Amazon, Colombia) and 26 Itza' Maya (Peten, Guatemala) adults about their perceptions of intergenerational va…
Disparate WTA-WTP disparities
A host of studies have shown that respondents typically provide larger values reflecting their willingness to accept compensation (WTA) for the loss of a product than amounts they would be willing to pay (WTP) to acquire the same product (Knetsch and Sniden, 1984; Cummings, Brookshire, and Schulze, 1986; Irwin, 1994). Meanwhile, other evidence indicates that causes for the deterioration or the damage of a product (either human or natural) will in…
Predicting Recycling Behavior from Global and Specific Environmental Attitudes and Changes in Recycling Opportunities 1
Surveys of households in a medium‐sized city were conducted at three different points in time to investigate changes in general environmental concern (as measured by the New Environmental Paradigm), specific recycling attitudes (as measured by constructs of the Schwartz moral norm model), and recycling behavior that occurred as recycling opportunities increased over time. After the initial data point, a voluntary curbside recycling program was im…
Are You Thinking What I Think You Are? A Study of Actual and Estimated Goal Priorities and Decision Preferences of Resource Managers, Environmentalists, and the Public
Although public and interest group input to resource management policy and decisions is considered valuable and is ojien legally mandated, interactions between these groups and government agencies and officials are often marked by conflict and animosity. We examined two potential sources of conflict among these groups: differences among the decision preferences and values of resource managers, members of an environmental group, and the public; an…
An Exploratory Study of Outdoor Recreation Site Choices
In this study, a think-aloud method is used to explore the process by which individuals make outdoor recreation site choices. Ten subjects made choices between 45 pairs of outdoor recreation sites during nine one-hour sessions. During the choice process they verbalized their thoughts and feelings into a tape recorder. These tapes were transcribed and the resulting verbal protocols were encoded for analysis. The codes, which represented the elemen…
What Makes a Recycler?
Knowledge and motivational factors represent important but neglected topics in the study of recycling behavior. This article examines differences in knowledge, motives, and demographic characteristics of people who have the opportunity to recycle voluntarily. Information on these variables was obtained for 197 households in Illinois. The results indicated that recyclers in general were more aware of publicity about recycling and more knowledgeabl…
An evaluation of the public response to a community recycling education program
Conserving resources and reducing the volume of garbage that must be incinerated or stored in landfills through recycling has become a major priority for many communities. Educational campaigns are often used to inform the public and induce recycling behavior. However, research evaluating the success of these campaigns has focused primarily on recycling behavior and not on cognitive factors such as awareness or motivation which may precede or acc…
Predicting Scenic Values in Forested Residential Landscapes
Mathematical models that predict perceived scenic beauty have been developed for near and distant forested environments. To date, however, human artifacts such as homes, roads, or vehicles have been excluded from these models. The present research examines the scenic quality of nine forested subdivisions near or adjacent to public recreation areas in Colorado. In one experiment the scenic beauty judgments of panels of subjects successfully discri…
