“…The total effect of contact with nature over environmental behaviors is weaker for these children than for those living in the city and, at the same time, children in the mountain area are the ones whose frequency of contact with nature is higher. In our opinion, the results obtained could be due to a ceiling effect of frequency of contact with nature, meaning that for these children, spending time in nature is a common activity, and the positive effects of frequency of contact with nature on environmental behaviors may be attenuated by children's familiarity with their daily surroundings or overshadowed by other factors known to influence children's environmental behaviors, such as parents' proenvironmentalism (Matthies, Selge, & Klöckner, 2012) or feelings of self-efficacy (Cheng & Monroe, 2012). These possibilities wait for further exploration.…”

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: influences EB in the three conditions. The strongest total impact was found for children living in the city and the weakest for those in the work-related rural area. No direct effect of FCN on EB was found for children in the non work-related rural area, and a negative direct effect for those in the work-related rural area. A better understanding of this direct effect will be needed in order to give recommendations for environmental education initiatives.

“…A number of studies reveal that travelers' attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral A number of studies reveal that travelers' attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral control, and habit are all strongly associated with sustainability values [15]. Such variables as attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral control, and habit that are fundamental components of socio-psychological theories that are often combined into theoretical studies that originate from pro-social intentions by virtue of their necessity in increasing predictive ability for one's pro-environmental behavioral intention [14,21,63,64]. Kim and Han [31] alleged that travelers who perceive environmental depletion problems are more liable to have beneficial attitudes toward green expenditure activity, feel social stress to become engage in green spending activity, and realize the ease of consumption of a green product rather than those who possess little involvement about environmental matters.…”

From a previous literature review, there are rare studies that focus on integrating Sustainability Values (SVs), the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) to predict potential travelers' behavioral intentions. In light of this, the research is designed to propose a comprehensive understanding of potential travelers' choices for sustainable hospitality businesses by integrating SV, TPB, and UTAUT2 into a theoretical framework, by moderating the effect of age. Prior studies have mentioned TPB identified the role of attitude, perceived behavior control, and moral obligation in generating intention. However, the use of TPB and the extended UTAUT model to explain pro-environmental behavior is lacking. Data was collected from 34 northern, 2 central, and 6 southern Taiwanese consolidated headquarter travel agencies. Email questionnaires were distributed to 630 individuals in 42 travel agencies. The proposed model will be also examining, with an AMOS procedure of structural equation modeling (SEM), the maximum likelihood method of estimation. The results indicated that (1) SVs are positively and significantly impacted by pro-environmental behavioral intention; (2) SVs are positively and significantly impacted by attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral control, and habit respectively; (3) attitude, perceived behavioral control, and habit is positively mediated by the effect between SVs and pro-environmental behavioral intention, respectively; (4) the social demographic variable of age is positively moderated the effect between SVs and social influence.Keywords: sustainability values; theory of planned behavior; unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2; pro-environment behavioral intention

“…Schwartz's norm-activation model has been used widely in environmental, psychological, and behavioral studies to analyze the impact of moral norms on behaviors [25,31] and to predict environmental conservation behaviors [27,32,33]. Schwartz points out that the relationship between moral norms and behavior is dependent on how individuals define an action situation [31].…”

Residents’ Environmental Conservation Behaviors at Tourist Sites: Broadening the Norm Activation Framework by Adopting Environment Attachment

Understanding the factors that affect residents' environmental conservation behaviors help in managing the environment of tourist sites. This research provides an integrative understanding of how residents near tourist sites form their environmental conservation behaviors by merging the norm-activation model and cognitive-affective model into one theoretical framework. Results of the structural analysis from a sample of 642 residents showed that this study's proposed composite model includes a satisfactory level of predictive power for environmental conservation behaviors. The findings identify the following two dimensions of awareness of environmental consequences as having a key role in predicting environmental conservation behaviors: (1) awareness of positive consequences of environmental protection; and (2) awareness of disaster consequences. Results also show that environment attachment and personal norms about environmentalism played a mediating role between awareness of environmental consequences and environmental conservation behaviors, and that personal norms about environmentalism were the most powerful factor in predicting behaviors. Several practical implications were derived from the research findings that can contribute to environment management policy both within and outside the field of tourism, mostly notably: (1) how the effective promotion of these factors can encourage environmental conservation behaviors for residents; and (2) how governments can develop and implement environmental management measures to improve locals' awareness of positive consequences of environmental protection.
