Distinct motivational pathways to participatory forest conservation across generations in forest-dependent communities
Determinants of local participation in forest governance under ecotourism using social exchange theory
Forest-based ecotourism is increasingly promoted as a mechanism to align biodiversity conservation with livelihood sustainability in forest-dependent regions. However, the extent to which such initiatives foster meaningful local participation in forest governance remains insufficiently understood. Drawing on social exchange theory, this study develops and empirically tests a model explaining how forest-dependent communities evaluate ecotourism-re…
Socio-cultural determinants of women’s intentions to engage with urban forests in a Middle Eastern metropolis
Investigates socio-cultural drivers of women's pro-environmental intentions. • Women’s intention is primarily shaped by family, religious and cultural values. • Close social structures outweigh symbolic role models in shaping intentions. • Social recognition reinforces women’s participation in urban forest conservation. • A gender-sensitive, framework is proposed for inclusive forest governance. Women play a critical yet often underexplored role …
Understanding forest-dependent pastoralists' soil conservation decisions through an integrated behavioral framework
Identifying indicators of sustainable management of urban forests
Urban forests are vital components of sustainable cities, providing critical ecological services and enhancing the physical and mental well-being of citizens. Their long-term preservation depends on sustainable management, yet a significant gap exists in the availability of a prioritized, empirically-grounded set of indicators for evaluating Sustainable Management of Urban Forests (SMUF). This study addresses this gap by developing and prioritizi…
Generation Z and climate mitigation initiatives
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing humanity, with the potential to impact various aspects of life. To mitigate and adapt to climate change, programs are being developed and implemented at local, national, and international levels. National tree-planting initiatives are one such effort being undertaken by various countries, aiming to engage the public in planting trees to mitigate the effects of climate change. However…
Drivers of People’s Connectedness with Nature in Urban Areas
Community gardening has become an important urban sustainability initiative that integrates ecological restoration with social participation. However, little is known about the psychological and social mechanisms that drive citizens’ willingness to engage in such activities, particularly in densely populated cities with limited green space. This study develops and empirically tests an integrative behavioral model combining environmental psycholog…
Extending the knowledge-attitude-practice model to exploring the role of environmental literacy in shaping ecotourists' pro-environmental behavior
Forests are ecologically fragile destinations where ecotourists' behavior directly affects conservation outcomes. This study extends the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) model by positioning Environmental Literacy (EL) as a precursor to knowledge and by disaggregating knowledge into three dimensions including awareness of environmental issues, sustainable practices knowledge, and perceived impact of individual actions. Data were collected throug…
Purchasing certified forest products to participate in sustainable forest management
Do generational differences determine the conservation intention and behavior towards sacred trees
Conserving sacred trees is paramount for biodiversity preservation and the safeguarding of biocultural heritage. However, evolving perceptions across generations raise concerns about the future existence of these significant landscape elements. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the intention and behavior of two generations towards sacred tree conservation. Drawing upon an extended theory of planned behavior, we integrate "cultura…
