Transformative potential of nature-based values that influence the relationships between reported and intended pro-environmental behavior Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Pub Date : 2023-10-26 Dana N. Johnson, Carena J. van Riper, Julianna Rogowski, Evan Salcido, William P. Stewart, Rose Keller
Protected area landscapes embody multiple values of nature that can create meaning in everyday life. Though the values ascribed to these environments theoretically inspire changes in human behavior, surprisingly few studies have empirically evaluated how ‘specific values’ affect actions that benefit the environment. We used Public Participation in Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) methods to evaluate
