“…The relation between ethnicity and the recreational use and perceptions of greenspace has been examined in academia as well (e.g., Chavez, 2000;Dwyer, 1993;Floyd, 1998;Gobster, 2002;Ho et al, 2005;Jay & Schraml, 2013;Krymkowski, Manning, & Valliere, 2014;Sasidharan, 2002;Tierney, Dahl, & Chavez, 2001;Winter, Jeong, & Godbey, 2004). Most of these studies on immigrants' use and perceptions of the natural environment focus on the United States.…”

Studies on immigrants' recreational use of greenspace have tended to focus on ethnic groups as homogeneous entities. In a qualitative study based on group interviews, this article focuses on the cultural diversity among and within ethnic groups. We used an identity perspective to study outdoor recreation of young Dutch adults with Chinese, Turkish, or nonimmigrant backgrounds. Results show that primarily personal identities, age, and ethnicity inform recreational behavior. The multiplicity of peoples' identities results in more heterogeneity between and within ethnic groups, as well as more homogeneity between immigrants and nonimmigrants, than commonly described. When immigrants are considered as a homogeneous group that underparticipates in outdoor recreation, individual immigrants who frequently participate in outdoor recreation are overlooked. Furthermore, we show that acculturation does not progress at the same rate among all ethnic groups, and that ethnic identity may be sustained among second and subsequent generations through certain recreational activities.

“…Urban foraging offers ecological learning across generations, and opportunities to observe seasonal changes in vegetation [37]. In cities, immigrants frequently use gardening activities to create attachment to new places while seeking to maintain distinctive aspects of their cultures [38]. Among other benefits, these greenspaces may fulfil cultural, religious, and ecological purposes [39].…”

“…Identification of types of activities and constraints and roads to recruitment and motivation should therefore be followed by research that also pays attention to how people engage with nature in terms of intersubjective experiences, cultural meaning systems and social identities (Kloek et al 2013;Jay & Schraml 2014). Exploring how people make sense of places where they live or spend much time is relevant to understand the ways in which people interact with their environment in general and green spaces in particular, and how this interaction may become more sustainable and in turn eventually develop place attachments (Low et al 2009).…”
