Beyond economics
The purpose of this paper is to add to the understanding of how tourism shapes residents’ perceptions of justice in conservation policymaking. By weaving together Weber’s theory of formal and substantive rationality with spillover logic, the paper offers a richer conceptualization of how the economic and non-economic benefits of tourism such as empowerment can be harnessed to improve perceptions of justice in conservation policies. We employ part…
When the river disappears
This study offers a better understanding of how post-mining communities emotionally connect to local places they lost and how emotions guide everyday heritage making related to those places’ past, present, and future. Our empirical case focuses on the disappearance of the Sztoła, a small river in Bukowno, located in the Małopolska region of Poland. Using place attachment theory, everyday heritage and solastalgia as an integrated analytical lens, …
Evolutionary biases drive neutralization in leisure
Stone Age biases introduced as a complementary theoretical lens for understanding misbehavior in nature-based leisure. • Evolved motives from ancestral environments can conflict with contemporary societal norms in nature setting. • Individuals use neutralizations, cognitive strategies to resolve this conflict while still acting on the ancestral drives • Need for interventions that move beyond moral appeals and instead target the adaptive traits
Fascination, Place Attachment, and Environmental Stewardship in Cultural Tourism Destinations
Cultural heritage sites act as gateways to the past and provide a unique opportunity for observation and education. However, the increasing need for authentic historical experiences creates significant obstacles to the development of tourism destinations that lack sufficient infrastructure and management capabilities. Increased pressure often threatens the long-term sustainability of these sites, thus shifting the responsibility of conservation t…
Gen Z – pioneers or paradox in sustainable tourism
Frequently labeled the "greenest generation," research often portrays Generation Z (Gen Z) as a generation with strong pro-sustainability sensibilities. However, closer scrutiny exposes a disconnect between their stated intentions and actual behavior. This editorial reflection draws on the contributions to the Special Issue "Gen Z: The Sustainable Tourism Generation?" and a critical scoping review to question whether Gen Z can genuinely support a…
Czym jest solidarność ekologiczna? Badanie perspektywy obrońców rzek w Polsce
Artykuł podejmuje problematykę solidarności ekologicznej jako przejawu wartości relacyjnej z rzekami. Obecne w literaturze rozważania teoretyczne nie zostały dotąd poparte wynikami badań empirycznych. Wkładem pracy w rozwój socjologii środowiska jest zatem empiryczne zbadanie przejawów solidarności ekologicznej jako wartości relacyjnej oraz weryfikacja założeń teoretycznych na jej temat, a także wytyczenie kierunków dalszej operacjonalizacji tego…
When tourism meets conservation
This study investigates the complex relationship between residents and national parks in a top nature-based destination, Poland's Tatra and Podhale region.Utilizing a door-to-door survey of 511 respondents from 26 towns around Tatra National Park (TNP), the research employs two-step structural equation modeling and fsQCA to analyze how place attachment and preferences for nature protection strategies interact.Contrary to the widely held view that…
Traditional and emerging visions of European bison (Bison bonasus) conservation and management
How Covid-19 changed the way we visit rivers? Applications of big data for sentiment analysis
Rivers function as natural settings, bringing people together with various activities in the surrounding area. While the literature has overlooked the emotional values and wellbeing connection associated with rivers, knowing how the rivers are perceived by visitors and how the use of rivers has changed during the pandemic can assist decision-making for land use policies and planning. On the other hand, social media, assisting in articulating visi…
Equifinal paths to megafauna conservation through memorable wildlife tourism experiences
Despite a vast literature conceptualizing a memorable tourism experience, empirical studies overlook the context in which those experiences are produced and compiled into actions that benefit the environment. Accordingly, we need to better understand to what extent the experience of megafauna enclosures strengthens visitors' overall support for wildlife protection. To close this knowledge gap, we study memorable tourism experiences in the Bison e…
Resident connection to nature and attitudes towards tourism
Despite the growing literature arguing for the consideration of community perspectives in tourism destination governance, little is understood about how residents' connection to nature affects their perceptions of and responses to tourism. This is especially relevant for rural areas rich in nature as many of them have become refugees for urban dwellers seeking recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study combines the Nature's Contributions…
Gen Z, Tourism, and Sustainable Consumption
Gen Z, Tourism, and Sustainable Consumption is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of Generation Z in relation to sustainable consumption practices and travel cultures. Gen Z is regarded as the world’s largest consumer market. The growth and behaviour of this economically significant market will have enormous implications for the future development of the tourism industry and destinations and its long-term sustainability. Characteri…
A narrative approach to the formation of place attachments in landscapes of expanding renewable energy technology
Renewable energy technologies are expanding in rural landscapes, where they are changing the character and meaning of place. This study explores the experience of living and recreating in proximity to landscapes undergoing this development, namely in a Swedish municipality where a major wind park is located. Using place attachment, it addresses how people construct meaning around places of everyday life through stories of their experience of plac…
Measuring place attachment with the Abbreviated Place Attachment Scale (Apas)
Environmental justice in Natura 2000 conservation conflicts
Literature concerned with Natura 2000 highlights that conflicts emerged when local communities felt the implementation of the policy was unfair. In the paper, we extend those arguments and say that the contested nature of Natura 2000 conflicts is best understood through a framework of environmental justice that embraces the importance of empowering residents and communities in Natura 2000 processes. We draw from Nancy Fraser's critical approach t…
Knowledge, empowerment, and action
With resident empowerment widely recognized as a prerequisite for sustainable tourism development, this study tested how residents’ perceived knowledge of tourism affects their perceptions of psychological, social, and political empowerment through tourism, and how these, in turn, lead to their political action regarding tourism using Rocha’s (1997 Rocha, E. M. (1997). A ladder of empowerment. Journal of Planning Education and Research, 17(1), 31…
Elderly Volunteering in Europe
This paper investigates the effect of volunteering on quality of life (QoL) in 50+ populations across European countries and Israel. We analyzed data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Using the Kendall tau-b correlation coefficients, we show that the extent of effect volunteering has on quality of life is nonlinearly related to the prevalence of volunteering in a given country. The relationship follows an inverted…
Resident Perceptions of Distribution, Recognition and Representation Justice Domains of Environmental Policy-Making
Largescale nature conservation programs such as European ecological network Natura 2000 tend to fuel local conservation conflicts due to perceived unbalance between costs and benefits, lack of recognition and representation of residents in the decision-making process concerning policy implementation and management. This study considers Fraser's critical model of political justice to understand how residents construct N2000 justice and discuss the…
Place distinctiveness, psychological empowerment, and support for tourism
Empowerment and resident support for tourism in rural Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
Despite empowerment being a crucial component of sustainable tourism, few scholars have quantitatively operationalized empowerment and looked at how it applies to rural societies within the post-communist European Union (EU) member states. Knowing the high priority of sustainable rural development goals within the EU, empowering residents within these post-communist societies has become a pertinent issue especially where those societies appear mo…
The hedonic nature of conservation volunteer travel
Place attachment and empowerment
Happy Tourists, Unhappy Locals
Appealing to Goodwill or Yolo-Promoting Conservation Volunteering to Millennials
Volunteer travel opportunities are more plentiful than ever and are now offered worldwide, with conservation projects being an increasingly popular choice. Some of the emerging questions in this field are concerned with the effective communication of these opportunities to young people. One theory that could guide the creation of these persuasive campaigns for conservation volunteering is regulatory focus theory. By adopting this theory, we revea…

The role of place attachment in revitalization of neighborhood parks in East St. Louis
Park improvement projects advanced with little or no financial resources may become important elements of community development. Such revitalization projects engage residents in collective efforts to enhance their neighborhood and, in the process, strengthen neighborhood ties. While the collective efforts often significantly improve deteriorating neighborhoods, they also may increase residents’ attachment to the place. Participant observation of …
Engaging residents in planning for sustainable rural-nature tourism in post-communist Poland
This study attempts to draw attention to environmentally, socially and economically sustainable tourism development as a tool with the potential to generate social capital based on development of local ties in Poland. It uses the interactional approach to community to discuss the possibility of enhancing actors' efficacy and the building of trust among the actors influenced by participatory planning for sustainable tourism development. The intera…
