Stakeholder Perceptions of Socio-Ecological System Improvements: A Place-Based Study of Stream Habitat Enhancements
Aquatic habitat enhancement projects typically occur in degraded socio-ecological systems. A major goal of these projects is to improve the ecosystem services that the streams provide to humans. In this work, we investigated how visitors at West Virginia’s Holly River State Park perceived the impact of an aquatic habitat enhancement project on ecosystem services provided by the Laurel Fork. The 172 surveyed visitors gave their current perceptions…

This Special Issue addresses the intersections of outdoor recreation, nature-based tourism, and sustainability. Outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism provide essential benefits to individuals, communities, and society and thereby contribute to sustainability. Equitable provision of opportunities, cultural variations in desired experiences, barriers to outdoor recreation, and diverse perceptions of both nature and recreation add to the compl…
Using Events as a Mapping Concept that Complement Existing ROS Methods
The Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) methods have used static measures such as spatial zones for settings and activities. However, visitor perceptions, activities, and experiences are dynamic and not always localized within a single and static ROS zone. The ROS framework could be enhanced by methods that document common movements across time and space during peoples' recreation engagements. This paper adds movement as a third pillar to the R…

Using a two‐dimensional measure of loyalty, incorporating both a behavioral or repeat purchasing dimension and an attitudinal or commitment dimension, this study found that participants exhibited a high degree of repeat purchasing and only a moderate …

Most lack the conceptual grounding to operate as valid scientific variables. The purpose of this paper is to offer an alternative explanation for these attachments based upon the ego involvement variable. Ego involvement in a leisure setting is explained within a bro…
