The Upper Taieri River catchment is an arid area in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand faced with intensifying agriculture production. This article describes an assessment of the education/communication processes of a water resource management project and the effects on farmer beliefs/attitudes and targeted outcomes. Lessons learned from this project will guide future activities in the catchment and may have wider significance in developing community-determined allocation and management regimes in other areas faced with water shortage and water quality issues.
What motivates people to act in the community's interest when self-interest is an insufficient motivation? In response, this paper proposes a model for predicting behavioral intentions that incorporates an individual's perceived threats to one's self and to one's community, perceived individual and community benefits/consequences of engaging in behaviors that will facilitate desired outcomes, and self-efficacy. We test the model in three contexts related to environmental conservation and find substantial support for our model. Findings have implications for social marketing of environmental behaviors and may prove relevant when considering behavior supportive of other community-oriented issues such as public health, education, and transportation.
