  • Social and Cultural Values and Representation Justice

    Mae A Davenport, Bonnie L Keeler et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2023Cited by: 2References: 6

    Water management involves the provision of water uses and benefits for people and communities, with direct environmental justice implications. Beyond water supply for physiological survival, people depend on water systems for material and non-material values. Understanding how different communities value water and prioritize its protection is critical to effective water governance. We use a psychometric water values scale administered through two…

  • Normative Basis for Climate-Related Civic Engagement by Residents of Lake Superior’s North Shore region

    Amit K Pradhananga, Emily K Green et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2023References: 10

    This study examines the determinants of resident engagement in climate change using a survey of a sample of residents in Lake Superior’s North Shore region in Minnesota. We examine the influence of climate concern, responsibility, subjective norms and personal norms on civic engagement. Study findings indicate that climate concern, ascription of local responsibility, and subjective norms influence residents’ personal norms, or sense of personal o…

  • An Inventory and Assessment of Sample Sources for Survey Research with Agricultural Producers in the U.S

    Open AccessJessica D Ulrich-Schad, Shuang Li et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2022References: 3

    Researchers need probability samples to collect representative survey data about the behaviors and attitudes of agricultural producers they study in relation to the natural resources that they manage, yet obtaining accurate and complete sampling frames is challenging. We extract data from a publication database to identify the most commonly used sampling frame sources in survey research of agricultural producers in the U.S., finding that governme…

  • Community Attachment and Stewardship Identity Influence Responsibility to Manage Wildlife

    Adam C Landon, David C Fulton et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2020References: 9

    Managing wildlife in landscapes under private ownership requires partnership between landowners, resource users, and governing agencies. Agencies often call on landowners to voluntarily change their practices to achieve collective goals. Landowner support for management action is partially a function of normative beliefs about managing wildlife. Understanding factors that support development of normative beliefs is important for program design, w…

  • An Integrated Moral Obligation Model for Landowner Conservation Norms

    Amit K Pradhananga, Mae A Davenport et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2016Cited by: 4References: 5

    This study applies an integrated moral obligation model to examine the role of environmental and cultural values, and beliefs in the activation of landowner conservation norms. Data for this study were collected through a self-administered survey of riparian landowners in two Minnesota watersheds: Sand Creek and Vermillion River watersheds. Study findings suggest that collectivistic and biospheric–altruistic values form the bases for the activati…

  • Preventing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species

    Amit K Pradhananga, Mae A Davenport et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2015

    This article examined the role of value orientations and attitudes toward aquatic invasive species (AIS) on responsible boating behavior to reduce the likelihood of spreading AIS. Mitigation strategies developed to prevent the spread of AIS are most successful when the determinants of boating behaviors are well understood. Data were collected using a self-administered mail survey of a regionally stratified random sample of registered boaters in I…
