Exploring 'Elsewhereland' - Places Desired, Remembered and Dwelled
This paper examines summer vacationers' experiences and connections with an island place on Saaremaa in Estonia. Discourse from sixteen in-depth interviews are coupled with a theoretical discussion exploring place, emotions, memory, and self through an analysis of personal narratives on individual emotional perspectives of meaningful places, memory of places elsewhere, and the materiality of the cultural landscape itself. Emotional aspects associ…
In spaces in between–From recollections to nostalgia
Creation of a terrestrial connection to the mainland from Saaremaa Island (Estonia) has been discussed among politicians, scientists and the general public for the last decade. A fixed link has been a dream, hope, and fear in a situation where the island faces enormous societal changes in a rapidly developing young capitalist country. Islanders and visitors feel threats to their home place with or without the bridge. This paper explores public di…
Outdoor skills education
A systematic literature review for the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (U.S.A.) focused on benefits of outdoor skills education contributions to health, learning, and lifestyle. The purpose was to determine the extent to which positive impacts of outdoor skills education and wildlife-related outdoor education were documented with respect to health, lifestyle, and student learning. Results came from review of 100+ documents (from 2000–20…

Sense of place predictors of perceived effects of a proposed island to mainland bridge on future experience
This paper examines how Estonian and foreign tourists to Saaremaa Island perceive their future experiences in light of a bridge built from mainland Estonia to the island. A logistic regression resulted in six predictors (two demographic and four sense of place scales) of perceived future effects of a proposed bridge on future experience, accounting for 18% of the variance. The six predictors of perceived effects of a potential bridge to the mainl…
Comparing the Validity and Reliability of Place Attachment Across Cultures
Researchers often measure human–place bonds via place attachment scales across a variety of settings. However, scale use does not always include an evaluation of the scales’ psychometric properties, especially in multisite studies. Failure to consider a place attachment scale’s measurement properties makes both validity and reliability assumptions and may lead to improper data interpretation. Hence, this investigation assessed a place attachment …

Integrating social science research into wildland fire management
Purpose – Social science research is used to support the formulation of natural resource management decisions with accurate and timely information. Due to risk and potential impacts, this is important in wildland fire management. The purpose of this paper is to identify the respondent perceptions of a natural disturbance agent's impact on fire management in Colorado and Wyoming. Design/methodology/approach – The research methodology included a se…
Wildlife Value Orientations
This article examines the thoughts and cognitions of Estonians as it relates to wildlife value orientations on the islands of Saare County, Estonia. Sixteen semi-structured interviews of islanders living on Saaremaa and Vilsandi were done in summer 2006 as part of the Wildlife Values Globally project facilitated by Colorado State University. Wildlife value orientations as expressed in response to four basic emotion questions were sought in the co…
Resident Perceptions of Sustainable Tourism in Chongdugou, China
This article examines resident perceptions of sustainable agritourism among four subvillages in Chongdugou, China. The prism of sustainability, with institutional, economic, ecological, and sociocultural dimensions, served as the theoretical lens. We hypothesized both main effects (distance of subvillage from village entrance and employment in the tourism industry) and interaction effects for the four dimensions of sustainability and overall sati…
Sustainable Tourism Infrastructure Planning
This paper presents a conceptual geographical information systems (GIS)-supported sustainable tourism infrastructure planning (STIP) framework including attraction, service and transportation facilities. This framework focuses on tourism planning as an integrated approach based on sustainability criteria. STIP aims to integrate a set of sustainability criteria (i.e. development objectives, visitor experience preferences, carrying capacity standar…
Recreation Specialization
A typology of boating activities and subactivities, first published in the Journal of Leisure Research (1986) is revisited. This paper investigates the relationship between degree and range of specialization in boating activities of a random sample of Maryland Chesapeake Bay large boat owners. A specialization index includes four domains identified in previous research: participation, equipment, skill, and boating related interests. Differences b…
Influence of Sociodemographics and Environmental Attitudes on General Responsible Environmental Behavior among Recreational Boaters
This study examined predictors of self-reported general responsible environmental behavior (GREB) among recreational boaters in Maryland in 1992. Findings show a relationship between cognitive (professed knowledge of environmental issues), affective (environmental concern), and conative (verbal commitment) components of attitudes with pro-environmental behavior. Multiple regression results show that two attitudinal variables explained 23.8% of to…
Rural tourism development
Rural tourism development is a negotiated process involving a number of social actors: individuals, groups and organisations who interact to reach their own ends through negotiations with other social actors. This paper examines the rural development process in Pišece, Slovenia, by studying tourism through an actor-oriented approach to clarify the social realities of rural tourism development. Its purpose was to increase understanding of the soci…
