“…For this reason people may chose not to install flood doors or change sockets because these are visible signs of threat that would undermine everyday feelings of security. This alternative rationality for adaptation behaviour, inaction as a way of maintaining well-being, was also reflected in research carried out by De Dominicis et al (2015) into flood risk in two Italian cities and found that for households at risk, if place attachment is strong then the relationship between risk perception and action is weaker.…”

“…2009), and key to understanding adaptation to environmental change is clarifying how and when people and communities begin to perceive change as a risk to themselves. To this end, the sense of place literature offers a potentially particularly useful lens for understanding how situated risk is perceived and acted on individually and collectively (Wester-Herber 2004, Billig 2006, Bernardo 2013, De Dominicis et al 2015, Rey-Valette et al 2015.…”

ABSTRACT. Coastal areas are exposed to changing patterns of mobility and increasingly extreme weather events, offering unique opportunities to study the complexity of adaptation to global changes and the diversity of responses to risk. How individuals and communities respond to risk varies widely, however traditional rationalist and economic based understandings have proved limited in explaining responses to risk. Increasingly social science, and specifically, a focus on peoples' relationships with their local places is providing a useful approach to understanding human responses to place based change. We bring together literature on sense of place, mobility, risk perception, and adaptation and develop a conceptual model to highlight the dynamic links between these processes. In particular we concentrate on a way of understanding risk that focuses on the role of different types of attachments to place. We explore this model using a pilot study (n = 70) and present data that indicates how different types of place attachments are significant in whether people perceive themselves to be at risk of flooding. Our review and results emphasize the interconnectivity of social and environmental change, and suggests that by identifying particular place attachments, as shaped by mobility, we can deepen our understanding of how communities choose to respond to risk.

“…Within these scenarios, individuals are facing more extreme environmental events that could be detrimental to our overall life quality (Dominicis, Fornara, Cancellieri, Twigger-Ross, & Bonaiuto, 2015). Hence, it is important to find interventions for improving current environments that can be applied throughout the whole world.…”

Can Previous Pro-Environmental Behaviours Influence Subsequent Environmental Behaviours? The Licensing Effect of Pro-Environmental Behaviours

M ethods for promoting individuals' pro-environmental behaviours are becoming very important. Besides traditional factors relevant to pro-environmental actions, few studies have examined the licensing effect within this domain. Across three studies we have explored whether the licensing effect really exists in pro-environmental behaviours, how this effect actually works, and how to inhibit or even avoid this effect. Results have revealed that previous pro-environmental behaviours lead to a decrease in subsequent pro-environmental behaviours, indicating a licensing effect. Also, the licensing effect in pro-environmental behaviours can be explained by having individuals focus on goal progress and reduced by focusing on goal commitment. Furthermore, attributional recall could be an intervention for mitigating the licensing effect.

“…Se considera una de las relaciones psicosociales más importantes entre los seres humanos y su medio ambiente físico. Para la mayoría de autores es un conjunto de sentimientos, pensamientos, intenciones y conductas que las personas desarrollan en el tiempo y dan lugar a vínculos afectivos y cognitivos entre éstas y lugares específicos, tales como el lugar de residencia, el vecindario y la ciudad (Altman & Low, 1992;Anton & Lawrence, 2014Brown, Brown & Perkins, 2004;Cross, 2015;Dallago et al, 2009;Devine-Wright, 2011;Di Maso, Dixon & Hernández, 2017;De Dominicis, Fornara, Ganucci, Cancellieri & Bonaiuto, 2015;Hidalgo y Hernández, 2001;Giuliani, 2003;Lewicka, 2011;Scannell & Gifford, 2010;Ujang, 2012;Ujang & Zakariya, 2015).…”
