  • Reducing Shower Duration in Tourist Accommodations

    Open AccessPablo Pereira-Doel, Xavier Font et al.ARTICLETravel Research Bulletin2025Cited by: 5References: 88

    This study inductively applies the Feedback Intervention Theory by empirically demonstrating the effectiveness of continuous, real-time eco-feedback and its interaction with motivational factors in modifying showering behavior. We conducted a covert true experiment across six tourist accommodations in Denmark, Spain, and the UK, where we deployed smart technology, in the form of a timer to provide the eco-feedback, coupled with persuasive message…

  • Everyday places to get away – Lessons learned from Covid-19 lockdowns

    Open AccessBirgitta Gatersleben, Emma White et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2024

    Being able to get away from everyday stressors and demands, even if close to home and just for a few minutes, is important for wellbeing. During the Covid-19 lockdown periods, people’s ability to get away changed significantly. An increase in visits to nearby natural places is well documented. Little is known about other types of places people visited to get away. An online UK survey was conducted in 2020 (N = 850) investigating what places peopl…

  • Last chance for wildlife

    Open AccessChristy Hehir, Caroline Scarles et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sustainable Tourism2023

    Nature-based tourism offers the opportunity for tourists to see first-hand both wildlife and the conservation efforts of organisations and individuals to protect habitats and species. Whilst recent studies hint that tourism can prompt visitors to provide philanthropic support for conservation, studies to-date have focused on behavioural intentions within specific case studies rather than actual behaviour, thereby limiting generalisability and exp…

  • The co-development of HedgeDate, a public engagement and decision support tool for air pollution exposure mitigation by green infrastructure

    Open AccessYendle Barwise, Prashant Kumar et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2021

    There is a lack of clear guidance regarding the optimal configuration and plant composition of green infrastructure (GI) for improved air quality at local scale. This study aimed to co-develop (i.e. with feedback from end-users) a public engagement and decision support tool, to facilitate effective GI design and management for air pollution abatement. The underlying model uses user-directed input data (e.g. road type) to generate output recommend…

  • Object narratives as a methodology for mitigating marine plastic pollution

  • Global ecological, social and economic impacts of marine plastic

    Open AccessNicola Beaumont, Nicola J Beaumont et al.ARTICLEMarine Pollution Bulletin2019

    This research takes a holistic approach to considering the consequences of marine plastic pollution. A semi-systematic literature review of 1191 data points provides the basis to determine the global ecological, social and economic impacts. An ecosystem impact analysis demonstrates that there is global evidence of impact with medium to high frequency on all subjects, with a medium to high degree of irreversibility. A novel translation of these ec…

  • Are Some Natural Environments More Psychologically Beneficial Than Others? The Importance of Type and Quality on Connectedness to Nature and Psychological Restoration

    Open AccessKayleigh J Wyles, Mathew P White et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Behavior2019

    Exposure to nature can strengthen an individual’s sense of connectedness (i.e., emotional/cognitive bonds to the natural world) and enhance psychological restoration (e.g., feeling relaxed/refreshed). To date, there have been few large studies looking at the role that type and quality of natural environments may have on these outcomes. The present study used data from a large survey in England (sample analyzed = 4,515), which asked participants t…

  • A framework linking ecosystem services and human well‐being

    Open AccessOlivia Rendon, Angus Garbutt et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2019

    The ecosystem services approach is based on the interdependencies between nature and human well‐being. However, while the ecosystem services aspect of this approach is well‐developed, the human well‐being aspect remains unstructured and vaguely defined. An integrated conceptual framework was developed by adapting and linking the UK National Ecosystem Assessment‐Follow On framework with human well‐being domains. As well as benefits, the notion of …

  • Towards a Marine Mindset

    Kayleigh J Wyles, Sabine Pahl et al.ARTICLEVisitor Studies2013

    The oceans are crucial for human survival, yet they are under serious threat from humans, for example through overfishing and poor waste management. We investigated two questions. First, does a leisure visit to an aquarium improve visitor attitudes and intentions towards marine sustainability, specifically regarding overfishing and pollution? Second, does an information booklet handed out in addition to the visit have additional measurable impact…
