Hunting cultures and the ‘northern periphery’
Indoor Annual Sunlight Opportunity in Domestic Dwellings May Predict Well-Being in Urban Residents in Scotland
Indoor sunlight improves health in hospitals, schools, and workplaces, and there is clinical evidence for the impact on depression. But the impact of indoor sunlight on residents' health and well-being in domestic dwellings is unclear. Understanding this relationship could have important implications for building design and residents' indoor behavior, and impacts on health. Using a cross-sectional survey, we investigated the relationship between …
Generating public and private benefits through understanding what drives different types of agritourism
Environmental justice, capabilities, and the theorization of well-being
Environmental justice (EJ) scholarship is increasingly framing justice in terms of capabilities. This paper argues that capabilities are fundamentally about well-being and as such there is a need to more explicitly theorize well-being. We explore how capabilities have come to be influential in EJ and how well-being has been approached so far in EJ specifically and human geography more broadly. We then introduce a body of literature from social ps…
Climate change mitigation options in the rural land use sector
Agritourism from the perspective of providers and visitors
Estimating the contribution of rural land uses to greenhouse gas emissions
Rising to the challenge of environmental behaviour change
A typology for defining agritourism
Writing it down
A fashionable field of enquiry – the relationship between expressed attitudes and actual behaviour in the context of sustainable development – is complex (Staats et al. 2004 Staats, H, Harland, P and Wilke, H. 2004. Effecting durable change: a team approach to improve environmental behaviour in the household. Environ Behav., 36(3): 341–367. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and difficult to apply in a policy-relevant manner (Aall…
Theorizing the meso level
This paper identifies the need to develop a conceptual approach that moves away from dichotomous thinking about pro-environmental behaviour by considering the meso level of reality, through which macro level change can be observed and micro level activity can be contextualized. The discussion reviews pro-environmental behaviour literatures, presenting an alternative conceptual approach that incorporates the importance of scale and the social unit…
Commentary
This paper explores the interconnections and relative importance of seven determinants implicit in the development of sustainable tourism indicators. These determinants provide a framework for understanding the process of indicator selection for sustainable tourism. This research has suggested that some of the implicit determinants may be interconnected and some may be more important than others. The paper reports findings from twelve stakeholder…

Assessing the environmental impact of tourism development
This paper reports the development and application of a methodology for the environmental impact assessment of tourism projects. It reviews the background literature on tourism related impacts and the wider problems of environmental impact assessment, including issues associated with measurement. The Delphi technique is then identified as a potentially valuable tool for the identification and assessment of environmental impacts. The findings of t…
