“…CE is being increasingly used by researchers to study people's values and preferences in transportation, agricultural, and environmental economics, health, marketing, and other fields (e.g., Bauer et al., 2017; Brazil et al., 2019; Jensen et al., 2019; Lew & Whitehead, 2020; Liu & Swallow, 2016). The food industry is an active research field that applies the CE method to study consumer preference toward various food attributes.…”

This paper uses a randomized survey instrument to study the impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) information on Chinese consumers' preference for pork attributes and purchases during the recent peak of the ASF pandemic in 2019. We study consumers' preference for pork attributes including brand, meat texture and taste, quality safety assurance, and traceability under different information treatments. Results show that the willingness to pay (WTP) for quality safety assurance is the highest, followed by brands and traceability systems, and the WTP is lowest for good taste. We show that providing detailed ASF information substantially changes consumer preference by altering the relative importance of pork attributes and price sensitivity, which enables consumers to focus more on safety-related attributes while paying less attention to price and taste attributes. Furthermore, we find that a higher belief in the future of ASF occurrence reduces the frequency of purchases marginally but does not significantly influence for amount per purchase and the total purchase amount.

“…It is possible that vegetation management actions completed by homeowners may affect and be affected by attitudes of their neighbors (e.g.,Belaire et al 2016), but support for this conclusion is beyond the scope of our data. Collectively, the mixed results from our study exempli ed the heterogeneity and complexity of social processes that occur within exurban land use (e.g., Hiner 2014;Bauer et al 2017). Supporting our second hypothesis, varying autocorrelation distances among attitude-study location pairings illustrated that attitudes toward vegetation management existed at different spatial scales in different locations.…”

Context: Knowledge about spatial patterns of human dimensions data within landscape ecology is nascent despite its importance in natural resources management decision-making. We explored this topic within the context of utility roadside forest vegetation management, a complex situation involving ecological, cultural, and aesthetic aspects of forests and reliable power.Objectives We applied spatial interpolation to investigate patterns of human attitudes toward exurban roadside vegetation management data across an exurban landscape.Methods Mail surveys (n = 1962) were used to collect social science data from residents in four areas of Connecticut, USA. For each area, three attitudes variables were evaluated for spatial autocorrelation using Moran's I statistic. Based on identi ed autocorrelation distance or scale, attitudes were interpolated using inverse distance weighting. Model validation of interpolated surfaces was completed using root mean square error.Results: Statistically signi cant spatial autocorrelation was present for ve of 12 study area-attitude pairings at variable distances. Accuracy of interpolations also varied among study areas, suggesting that the choice of spatial scale of analysis in uenced model results.Conclusions: Social processes within the exurban landscape were spatially heterogeneous and multiscalar for the same variables in different locations, exemplifying the complexity of social processes within exurban land use. Interpolation assumptions often applied toward ecological studies did not work well for social processes studied in this analysis. Results demonstrated the importance of understanding spatial dimensions at which social processes operate and, therefore, may in uence ecological outcomes of the roadside forest within the context of state-level natural resources management and policy.

For each area, three attitudes variables were evaluated for spatial autocorrelation using Moran’s I statistic. Based on identified autocorrelation distance or scale, attitudes were interpolated using inverse distance weighting. Model validation of interpolated surfaces was completed using root mean square error.Results: Statistically significant spatial autocorrelation was present for five of 12 study area-attitude pairings at variable distances. Accuracy of interpolations also varied among study areas, suggesting that the choice of spatial scale of analysis influenced model results. Conclusions: Social processes within the exurban landscape were spatially heterogeneous and multi-scalar for the same variables in different locations, exemplifying the complexity of social processes within exurban land use.
