“…This set of opportunities can be considered as part of social capital (Putnam, 1993;Putnam et al, 1993). Many empirical studies have shown that social capital has an impact on pro-environmental behaviors (Jones, 2010;Liu et al, 2014;Pretty & Ward, 2001) contributing to the environmental activation of the community. We speculate that social well-being could be one of the key processes that explains this impact.…”

The main aim of this study was to investigate the bidirectional relationship between social well-being and energy conservation behavior as a form of pro-environmental behavior. Participants were 298 undergraduate and master's students at an Italian public university. We applied structural equation modeling with two waves of survey data from a cross-lagged panel design to investigate reciprocal relationships between latent variables representing social well-being and pro-environmental behavior. Results showed that pro-environmental behavior at baseline predicted later social well-being controlling for the effects of baseline social well-being. Conversely, social well-being at baseline predicted subsequent levels of pro-environmental behavior controlling for previous levels of pro-environmental behavior. Results were compared using multi-group invariance testing of paths across gender. These relationships did not differ between men and women. Together, these findings suggest that a bidirectional relationship between social well-being and pro-environmental behavior is supported.

“…With regards to the environmental element of CSR, the level and type of 8 research has increased significantly in the last decade with studies highlighting CSR features in tourism such as eco-tourism (Chiu, Lee & Chen, 2014), museums and heritage (Edwards, 2007), mass tourism (Weaver, 2014), tour operators and airlines industry (Dodds & Kuehnel, 2010;Coles, Fenclova & Dinana, 2011), leisure and sport (Salome, van Bottenburg & van den Heuvel, 2013) and destinations (Frey & George, 2010;Liu et al, 2014). Work exploring the marketing of tourism also notes a shift towards sustainability away from economic profit priorities (Jamrozy, 2007) and the linkages between CSR and CFP have also been studied within tourism.…”

“…A small number of studies explore the perspectives of the community (Liu et al, 2014) and multiple stakeholders, such as government and park authorities (Imran, Alam & Beaumont, 2014). Even though heritage has sometimes been treated as a static commodity of tourism, its associated values are frequently changing (Hall & McArthur, 1998), which is why many heritage management issues are caused by a dearth of interaction among stakeholders (Aas, Ladkin & Fletcher, 2005).…”

“…The CBEM literature emphasizes the role of local communities in inducing change in environmental governance to support ecosystem services provisioning and to promote local livelihoods (e.g., Agrawal and Gibson 1999, Berkes 2006, Cox et al 2010, Gruber 2010, Liu et al 2014. However, because of the hybrid nature of many CBEM approaches, it is also acknowledged that these approaches involve governance actors not only from the local community level but also from upper levels (Berkes and Seixas 2004, Paavola 2008, Gruber 2010, Seixas and Berkes 2010.…”

ABSTRACT. We analyze four case studies from Latin America using the concept of multilevel governance to assess at what vertical and horizontal levels and in what roles various state, market, and civil society actors interact for successful community-based environmental management (CBEM). In particular, we address the problem of how a conflict over natural resources with high negative impacts on the livelihoods of the respective communities could be overcome by a governance change that resulted in a multilevel governance arrangement for CBEM. The analysis involves a mixed-methods approach that combines a variety of empirical methods in social research such as field visits, personal interviews, participant observations, and stakeholder workshops. To visualize results, we introduce two schemes to present the composition of the governance structures for cross-case comparison. The first scheme plots the different actors into an arrangement that shows their associations with different societal spheres and at which territorial scales they are primarily involved. The second scheme differentiates these actors based on their complementing governance roles. Active roles are attributed to actors who implement activities on the ground, whereas passive roles are assigned to actors who provide specific resources such as knowledge, funding, legislative framework, or others. All cases involved governance actors from more than one societal sphere who operate on at least three different territorial levels (local to international) and in distinct roles. Results show that multilevel governance can strengthen CBEM in different ways. First, the success of CBEM is an outcome of the sum of horizontal and vertical interactions of all involved actors, and there is no most appropriate single level of social organization at which a problem can best be addressed. Only the cooperation of actors from different societal spheres within and across levels ensures accessibility to needed resources and implementation on the ground. Second, civil society actors seem to be crucial actors because they often function as the initiators of governance change and as bridging actors who connect other actors across levels. Third, to enable cross-scale interaction for improved decision making, often new actors are formed whose roles are wilfully negotiated. Fourth, despite different interests of actors, all multilevel governance arrangements for CBEM were able to provide benefits to all actors. Finally, in all cases, procedures for conflict resolution among parties are in place to address problems and allow for polycentric mutual decision making. Nevertheless, in view of transferability of the analyzed multilevel governance arrangements for CBEM, it is important to acknowledge that the differentiation in the cooperation of actors characterizes complex solutions that work for a specific context and that cannot be transferred directly to another context.
