Modelling susceptibility to human-caused forest fire ignitions in Austria
In the European Alpine region forest fire ignitions are driven by changing environmental conditions and increased intensity of outdoor activities by man. Therefore, accurate assessment and prediction of the ignition danger specifically for the complex mountain terrain becomes crucial. This study develops an Austria-wide model for estimating the conditional susceptibility of human-caused fire ignition with a spatial resolution of 100 meters using …
The restorative power of blue spaces
Living in urbanised areas can deplete cognitive and emotional resources. To help restore them, many people seek out natural locations. Blue spaces (e.g. rivers, lakes, coasts) are among people’s favourite restorative settings, but we know little about the importance of type or quality for psychological restoration, or the role of nature connectedness. Using survey data from 19 countries (n = 17,131), we explored the extent to which participants p…
Ways to encourage community-based forest conservation
Forests are crucial for global biodiversity, climate regulation, and the livelihoods of millions of people. This study examines the factors influencing local residents’ conservation behaviour towards Khao Yai National Park in Thailand. A structural equation model was tested using survey data from 385 nearby residents. Results show that involvement has the strongest direct positive effect on conservation behaviour, followed by place attachment and…
Nature visits, but not residential greenness, are associated with reduced income-related inequalities in subjective well-being
Nature exposure can promote human health and well-being. Additionally, there is some, albeit mixed, evidence that this relationship is stronger for socio-economically disadvantaged groups (equigenesis). Using a cross-sectional survey of the Austrian population (N = 2300), we explored the relationships between both residential greenness and recreational nature visits, and affective (WHO-5 Well-Being Index) and evaluative (Personal Well-Being Index…
Evaluation of GNSS-based Volunteered Geographic Information for assessing visitor spatial distribution within protected areas
Systematic monitoring of recreational use in vulnerable ecosystems is crucial to balance human needs and site capacities. Recently, publicly available digital data, including Global Navigation Satellite System-based Volunteered Geographic Information, gained attention as a potential resource depicting visitor movement. However, there is a need to critically assess its reliability for visitor monitoring across countries, regions and available data…
Restoring a “scenically challenged” landscape
A pine barrens is an open, fire-dependent ecological community once prevalent in sandy areas of northern Wisconsin (USA). Efforts to restore pine barrens on public lands have been hampered in part because their character does not conform to many people’s ideals of Northwoods forest scenery, challenging land managers on how to balance social and ecological goals. We studied the manager-relevant attributes of a pine barrens restoration site to pred…
Everyday discrimination in the neighbourhood
Despite the fact that urbanisation, population ageing and international migration constitute major societal developments of our time, little attention has been paid to studying them together in a comprehensive manner. In this paper, we argue that, when treating age and ethnicity as practical processes for addressing and identifying with social groups, it is necessary to do so from a ‘doing’ perspective. The question we ask focuses on which social…
Reloading Pupils’ Batteries
Cognitive functioning and academic performance of pupils depend on regular breaks from classroom work. However, it is unclear which settings during such breaks provide the best environment to restore cognitive performance and promote wellbeing of adolescent pupils. Therefore, we investigated the effects of staying in different urban green spaces during breaks. Sixty-four pupils (16−18 years old) participated in a cross-over experiment. They were …
Health-Related Effects of Short Stays at Mountain Meadows, a River and an Urban Site—Results from a Field Experiment
The study compared psychological and physiological health effects of short-term stays at managed and abandoned meadows, a mountain river, and an urban site of a dependent sample of 22 adult participants (mean age 27) during an 11-day field trip. The study found that pulse rates decreased during the stays at all the meadows and the urban site while no decrease was observed at the river. Blood pressure increased at all sites during the stay, with n…
Trade-offs between wind energy, recreational, and bark-beetle impacts on visual preferences of national park visitors
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 …
How heterogeneous are adolescents’ preferences for natural and semi-natural riverscapes as recreational settings
Recent research has indicated that the younger generations may be disconnected from nature and even show some dislike for natural conditions. This study addressed adolescents’ preferences for riverscapes with varying fluvial dynamics as recreational settings. A stated choice survey with digitally calibrated river scenarios asked Austrian pupils (N = 281) about their preferences for several physical and social characteristics of a floodplain lands…
Whitewater Boater and Angler Conflict, Crowding and Satisfaction on the North Umpqua River, Oregon
User satisfaction has frequently been used to evaluate outdoor recreationists’ quality of the experience. Similarly, recreational conflict has been important in previous literature as an approach to providing for a better understanding of conflict. This article examined potential conflict between whitewater boaters and anglers on the North Umpqua River. Our goal was to test the influence of ingroup and outgroup conflict and perceived crowding on …
Contributions of cultural services to the ecosystem services agenda
Cultural ecosystem services (ES) are consistently recognized but not yet adequately defined or integrated within the ES framework. A substantial body of models, methods, and data relevant to cultural services has been developed within the social and behavioral sciences before and outside of the ES approach. A selective review of work in landscape aesthetics, cultural heritage, outdoor recreation, and spiritual significance demonstrates opportunit…

Exploring Relationships Between Recreation Specialization, Restorative Environments and Mountain Hikers’ Flow Experience
This study explored the relationships between the perception of restorative natural environments, specialization in mountain hiking and flow experience. On-site interviews were conducted at mountain huts in the Salzkammergut, Austria, in 2009. The analysis of 369 hikers suggests that a relationship exists among recreation specialization, the perception of restorative environments and flow. With increasing specialization, people are more likely to…
Relationships between national-park affinity and attitudes towards protected area management of visitors to the Gesaeuse National Park, Austria
Exploring the Heterogeneity of Rural Landscape Preferences
Effects of depopulation, farm family income and changes in agricultural practices, etc. have resulted in the abandonment or destruction of traditional mountainous landscapes. An image-based stated choice survey was applied to explore the effects of various landscape change processes on the preferences of a mostly urban sample (N = 410). The 128 digitally generated landscape scenarios represented various kinds and intensities of agricultural and t…

Would You Displace? It Depends! A Multivariate Visual Approach to Intended Displacement from an Urban Forest Trail
A dichotomous choice survey was applied to explore the contributions of various social conditions to intended displacement from the main trail of a recreation area in Vienna, Austria. The trail scenarios were depicted as digitally calibrated images which systematically displayed combinations of levels of crowding with different mixes of user types, group sizes, compliance behavior, direction of movement, and placement within the image. Intended d…
A Comparison of Global and Actual Measures of Perceived Crowding of Urban Forest Visitors
Differences between global and actual measures of perceived crowding are investigated in an intra-individual analysis of 773 on-site visitors to an urban forest by comparing the two concepts for daily and hourly measurements. A sample of current and long-term visitor counts, measured in daily and hourly units, is added for reference points, allowing the investigation of the effects of visitor characteristics and additional situational factors on …
