Predicting Deer Hunting Intentions Using the Theory of Planned Behavior
This article describes deer hunters' profiles and assesses the applicability of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting deer hunting intentions. Model assessment was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The TPB model successfully predicted hunting intentions. Perceived behavioral control (PBC) emerged as the strongest predictor of hunting intentions, followed by subjective norms, while the effect of attitudes was not sig…
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…
The Next Step
This editorial proposes that the time has come to both individually and collectively take proactive steps to strengthen the social science voice in environmental governance. The ISSRM symposiums, SNR journal, and IASNR society provide an important and necessary “intellectual home” for the human dimensions movement, but we must now leverage this social and intellectual capital into policy and management innovations on the ground. We can learn much…
Mapping Social Change
Many communities in and around national forests are experiencing social change. It is important for public land managers to keep abreast of this change to provide appropriate forest uses while considering resource impacts, conflict management, and potential partnerships with local communities. The social assessment is one tool used to follow sociodemographic trends, but it can be difficult to wade through the volumes of tables and visual displays…
Understanding Relationships Among Recreation Opportunities
Outdoor recreation providers intuitively know that visitors engage in particular activities in desired outdoor settings to attain beneficial experiences. There is a lack of understanding among managers and researchers, however, about the relationships that exist between these recreation opportunities. What are the salient inputs (activities and/or settings) that contribute to the production of certain outputs (benefit opportunities)? How does the…
An ecological perception model of leisure affordances
Drawing from ecological perception theory, we propose an ecological perception model of the realization of leisure affordances that is different from frameworks grounded in expectancy‐valence theory. Expectancy theory suggests that internally held information or beliefs about value and leisure outcomes determine an individual's attitudes, intentions, and ultimately behavior. However, our ecological approach assumes and argues that the concept of …
