“…101-102) explains, treating the place as 'Nature', visitors express a strong intent to be environmentally responsible and therefore realize principles of ecotourism such as "engagement with and enjoyment of nature, and environmental awareness and responsibility." The present study did not uncover similarities with Vaughan and Ardoin's (2014) findings that visitors tend to focus on personal behaviours such as picking up one's own trash while residents tend to influence others' behaviour with education and enforcement.…”

“…Some studies find no statistical difference between residents and visitors in the mean scores of environmental concern (Leeworthy & Wiley, 1996) and willingness to pay for a marine park fund (Ruitenbeek & Cartier, 1999) or for beach water quality management (Penn, 2013), yet subtle differences between these groups with regard to specific issues might exist. A survey in Hawaii indicates that residents are more concerned about and feel more obligated to care for marine resources (Vaughan & Ardoin, 2014). Díaz et al (2010) study the valuation of landscape on a Spanish island and find that locals value natural components of the landscape higher than do tourists.…”

This study compares residents and visitors on the island of Wang-An in Penghu archipelago (Taiwan) in terms of four variables (ecotourism perception, environmental attitude, ecotourism behavior, local environmental knowledge). Results show that island visitors are positioned closer to the deep end of a shallow-deep spectrum on a few ecotourism characteristics such as stronger environmental commitment, smaller groups, and more personal experience. With a fuzzy cluster analysis reducing the four variables to two dimensions (ecotourism literacy, environmental familiarity and concern), the two clusters of island residents and visitors are found to overlap greatly with a noticeable divergence in the dimension of environmental familiarity and concern as a result of residents' better local environmental knowledge. Residents express greater approval of economic development on some items of the environmental attitude subscale. It is recommended that visitors have longer tours that increase interaction with residents to learn more about the local environment while serving as educators of ecotourism.

“…A recent study on Kaua`i found that more than half of all tourists consulted guidebooks to learn about the area before their visit, and that residents were more concerned and more responsible for their resources, and took more action targeted at changing the behavior of other users than tourists visiting the area (Vaughan & Ardoin, 2014), suggesting the potential for local residents to manage local resources or spearhead efforts to educate others. In addition, emerging efforts, such as web-based interactive timelines (e.g.…”

“…We have been cautious about drawing conclusions directly from this preliminary assessment and have included only those recommendations that we argue would be useful, no matter the results of the assessment. Further research on place dependence and sources of environmental learning similar to the work done on Kaua`i by Vaughan and Ardoin (2014) could also be illustrative in determining potential for engagement in community-based natural resource management in the two study bays and beyond. In addition, it would be important to determine the level of community interest in being involved in this issue and actively engaging in community-based conservation at some level.…”

and Clyde Streets, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand This paper explores the suitability of community-based conservation measures to complement a proposed command-and-control approach for two multi-user bays with spinner dolphins in Hawai`i, USA, which have considerable dolphin watching tourist activities and human-dolphin interactions. The paper uses Ostrom's common-pool resource theory as an analytical lens, with an assessment of the attributes of the resource and the user(s) to explore questions of governance and sustainability. In Hawai`i, spinner dolphins move predictably from offshore overnight feeding grounds into shallow bays for daytime rest, interacting frequently with humans using these bays for tourism and other social, recreational, and subsistence purposes. To reduce the current negative interactions with dolphins, managers are seeking to implement a command-and-control approach, namely time-area closures. Our analysis indicates that viewing the bay as a resource with tourism as one of many human demands, instead of specifically focusing on dolphins, reflects an ecosystem-based approach and acknowledges complex management demands. We found that while unrealistic to expect community-based conservation to spontaneously emerge here, cultivating some of Ostrom's attributes among stakeholders might lead to a more productive set of institutional arrangements that would benefit the dolphin population, with the methodology used potentially leading to a global management model.

“…Place attachment, a suite of place-related emotions that binds someone to a geographic location (Rubinstein and Parmelee 1992), develops based on a variety of factors, such as residency, shared social experiences, and place-related learning (Vaughan and Ardoin 2014). This attachment can form functionally when a resource provides amenities necessary for desired activities (Stokols and Shumaker 1981, Williams and Roggenbuck 1989, Williams and Vaske 2003, or emotionally when psychological investment in a setting or resource develops through experience over time (Kals et al 1999, Williams and Patterson 1999, Rogan et al 2005, Scannell and Gifford 2010.…”

ABSTRACT. Individual actions to avoid, benefit from, or cope with climate change impacts partly shape adaptation; much research on adaptation has focused at the systems level, overlooking drivers of individual responses. Theoretical frameworks and empirical studies of environmental behavior identify a complex web of cognitive, affective, and evaluative factors that motivate stewardship. We explore the relationship between knowledge of, and adaptation to, widespread, climate-induced tree mortality to understand the cognitive (i.e., knowledge and learning), affective (i.e., attitudes and place attachment), and evaluative (i.e., use values) factors that influence how individuals respond to climate-change impacts. From 43 semistructured interviews with forest managers and users in a temperate forest, we identified distinct responses to local, climate-induced environmental changes that we then categorized as either behavioral or psychological adaptations. Interviewees developed a depth of knowledge about the dieback through a combination of direct, place-based experiences and indirect, mediated learning through social interactions. Knowing that the dieback was associated with climate change led to different adaptive responses among the interviewees, although knowledge alone did not explain this variation. Forest users reported psychological adaptations to process negative attitudes; these adaptations were spurred by knowledge of the causes, losses of intangible values, and impacts to a species to which they held attachment. Behavioral adaptations exclusive to a high level of knowledge included actions such as using the forests to educate others or changing transportation behaviors to reduce personal energy consumption. Managers integrated awareness of the dieback and its dynamics across spatial scales into current management objectives. Our findings suggest that adaptive management may occur from the bottom up, as individual managers implement new practices in advance of policies. As knowledge of climate-change impacts in local environments increases, resource users may benefit from programs and educational interventions that facilitate coping strategies.
