While the economic and ecological benefits of private land conservation (PLC) programmes are well known, their contribution to socio-psychological well-being is less understood. Thus we applied the concept of basic psychological needs (BPN) from self-determination theory (SDT) to document these well-being impacts and understand the experience of landowners engaged in PLC programmes in Tasmania, Australia. We developed and administered an online survey (n = 193) that adapted items from SDT scales and used SDT as a framework to code data derived from semi-structured landowner interviews (n = 60). The interviews explored the ways in which participation in PLC supported the three basic needs of autonomy (the need to act according to personal values and desires), competence (the need for perceived efficacy), and relatedness (caring relationships and social belonging). PLC programmes supported autonomy by helping landowners align private land management decisions with deeply held environmental values. These programmes fostered competence and relatedness by developing trust and shared purpose amongst the people engaged in PLC, enabling personal and social learning, and enhancing life purpose and belonging. The scale and longevity of PLC programmes, and thus, the ecological and economic benefits flowing from them, may be increased through attending to, documenting and communicating the well-being benefits of participation.

意义，归属和幸福：参与私人土地保护的社会心理利益

尽管私有土地保护（PLC）计划的经济和生态效益众所周知，但对社会心理福祉的贡献却鲜为人知。因此，我们根据自决理论（SDT）运用了基本的心理需求（BPN）概念来记录这些幸福感，并了解了在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚从事PLC计划的土地所有者的经验。我们开发并管理了一项在线调查（n = 193），该调查从SDT量表中调整了项目，并使用SDT作为框架来编码从半结构化土地所有者访谈（n = 60）中获得的数据。访谈探讨了参与PLC支持以下三个基本需求的方式：自治的三个基本需求（根据个人价值观和愿望行事的需求），能力（感知效能的需求），和亲密关系（关怀关系和社会归属感）。PLC程序通过帮助土地所有者使私人土地管理决策与根深蒂固的环境价值保持一致来支持自治。这些计划通过在从事PLC的人们之间建立信任和共同目标，促进个人和社会学习并增强生活目标和归属感，从而提高了能力和相关性。通过参加，记录和交流参与的福祉收益，可以增加PLC计划的规模和寿命，从而从中获得生态和经济利益。这些计划通过在从事PLC的人们之间建立信任和共同目标，促进个人和社会学习并增强生活目标和归属感，从而提高了能力和相关性。通过参加，记录和交流参与的福祉收益，可以增加PLC计划的规模和寿命，从而从中获得生态和经济利益。这些计划通过在从事PLC的人们之间建立信任和共同目标，促进个人和社会学习并增强生活目标和归属感，从而提高了能力和相关性。通过参加，记录和交流参与的福祉收益，可以增加PLC计划的规模和寿命，从而从中获得生态和经济利益。
