  • "Nature Is Where There Is No Electricity and Wifi": Understanding Children's Connectedness with Nature through Their Images of Nature and Emotional Affinity towards Nature

    Reineke Susan van Tol, B H M Elands et al.ARTICLEChildren Youth and Environments2022

    This study explored nature connectedness among children in a Western context through focus group interviews and open-ended questionnaires with children in four primary schools in The Netherlands. Our study defined nature connectedness as a combination of individuals' images of nature and their emotional affinity towards nature. The results show that most participating children have rather dualistic and human-centered images of nature. Most of the…

  • Race/Ethnicity in Visual Imagery of Dutch Nature Conservation Organizations

    Marjolein E Kloek, B H M Elands et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2017Cited by: 2References: 7

    Nature conservation organizations in various Western countries, including the Netherlands, have noted that racial/ethnic minorities compared to Whites are “underparticipating” in recreation in natural areas and in nature conservation practices. Previous research trying to explain (under-)participation by racial/ethnic minorities in outdoor recreation and nature conservation mainly focused on characteristics of racial/ethnic groups. This study arg…

    Open AccessMarjolein E Kloek, Arjen Buijs et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences2017Cited by: 8References: 49

    Studies on immigrants' recreational use of greenspace have tended to focus on ethnic groups as homogeneous entities. In a qualitative study based on group interviews, this article focuses on the cultural diversity among and within ethnic groups. We used an identity perspective to study outdoor recreation of young Dutch adults with Chinese, Turkish, or nonimmigrant backgrounds. Results show that primarily personal identities, age, and ethnicity in…

  • Crossing Borders: Review of Concepts and Approaches in Research on Greenspace, Immigration and Society in Northwest European Countries

    Marjolein E Kloek, Arjen Buijs et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2013

    Relations between greenspace, immigration and society are emerging issues in policy and science. However, up to now research has been fragmented and no overview of approaches exists. This review describes concepts and approaches in Northwest European research on immigrants’ recreational use and perceptions of nature, rural landscapes and urban parks and on societal aspects of migration and greenspace. We show that national research traditions var…

  • Holocene comment and reply: The disappearance of S. imbricatum from European raised bogs: a comment on McClymont et al

    Open AccessBjorn J M Robroek, Jean G M Waucomont et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2009References: 1

    McClymont et al. ( The Holocene 18 (2008) 991—1002) present data on several environmental proxies to explore the disappearance of Sphagnum imbricatum from a peat bog in northern England, Wales and Ireland, respectively. McClymont et al. used their results to argue that a combination of rapid water-table rise and increased aeolian nutrient input from surrounding (agricultural) areas may have caused the disappearance of S. imbricatum from European …
