Culturally adapted tools for measuring connectedness to nature are important, since attitudes and perceptions toward nature cannot be universalized. They are influenced by a wide range of factors, like individuals’ experience in their home environment, safety concerns and a variety of other sociocultural factors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a model for a cultural adaptation process, through which suitable nature connectedness questionnaires can be created. Our approach is based on “Third Space Theory,” which laid the groundwork for the development of culturally adapted questionnaires that combine Western categories for measuring nature connectedness with elements that specifically reflect the local culture of an indigenous community. The paper details the adaptation process of a questionnaire designed to learn about the nature connectedness of 5th grade students living in unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev Desert. The process enlisted the input of 58 fifth grade students (28 boys and 30 girls) and four professionals from the fields of education and environmental education. It incorporated two different types of interviews, personal, semi-structured interviews, and interviews with small groups of students as they orally completed different iterations of the questionnaire. Thematic content analysis was conducted to reveal the various sociocultural aspects of the relationship between Bedouin children and their natural environment. The results of the paper include: (a) the seven-stage development process of the culturally adapted nature connectedness questionnaire, and (b) examples of the types of information that the culturally adapted questionnaire reveals, which a standard nature connectedness questionnaire might not provide.

由于无法普及对自然的态度和看法，因此在文化上适应性的工具来衡量与自然的联系非常重要。它们受到多种因素的影响，例如个人在家庭环境中的经历，安全问题以及各种其他社会文化因素。本文的目的是介绍一种文化适应过程的模型，通过该模型可以创建适当的自然联系调查表。我们的方法基于“第三空间理论”，这为开发适应文化的调查表奠定了基础，该调查表结合了用于衡量自然联系的西方类别和专门反映土著社区当地文化的要素。本文详细介绍了旨在了解生活在内盖夫沙漠中未被承认的贝都因人村庄的5年级学生的自然联系的调查表的适应过程。该过程吸引了58名五年级学生（28名男孩和30名女孩）和来自教育和环境教育领域的四名专业人员的意见。它结合了两种不同类型的访谈，即个人，半结构化访谈和对小学生的访谈，因为他们口头完成了问卷的不同迭代。进行了主题内容分析，以揭示贝多因儿童与其自然环境之间关系的各种社会文化方面。该论文的结果包括：（a）文化适应性自然联系问卷的七个阶段的开发过程，
