Previous studies have explored tourists' environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) from the perspectives of individual commitment, attractiveness, and involvement. This study approaches standpoint environmental knowledge (EK); it probes to facilitate sustainable tourism development, constructs a island development model by integrating EK, sensitivity, place attachment, ERB. Four hundred seventy seven tourists visiting Penghu Islands, Taiwan, were surveyed. Structural equation modeling was...

This study examines the causal relationships between place attachment, destination attractiveness and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB), mediating effect of attachment. Four hundred thirteen tourists were surveyed who had visited Penghu islands, Taiwan. Structural Equation Modeling was used to determine among variables effects. Results show that emotions feelings (place attachment), which have for Penghu, are positively associated with stronger ERB; extent island tourism as...

This study aims to identify key impact factors promote visitors' ERB in urban park and examine mechanism. A total 567 visitors were surveyed Beijing's Yuyuantan Urban Park. Structural equation modelling results indicate that personality traits are most important affect ERB, while effect how satisfaction with interpretive services plays upon using place attachment as a mediator. Openness...

This study proposed a theoretical framework based on Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory to examine tourists' intentions undertake agrotourism and behave pro-environmentally while travelling in Vietnam, assess the moderating effect of tourist sources. The results validate VBN explaining that could be determined through chain values beliefs, personal norms, contributing evidence within context Vietnam's agrotourism. Practical implications were drawn from findings reveal some similarities...

Baseball spectating is one of the most popular leisure activities in Asia. Leisure participants with high well-being levels usually demonstrate loyal behavior to teams they follow. Previous research indicates that professional sport fans are serious and their participation has career qualities. The goal this was investigate relationship involvement possible mediating effect organizational commitment, a career-related characteristic, on well-being. Some 406 Brother Elephants Team Taiwan were...

This study examined the causal relationships between destination attractiveness, attitudinal and behavioral loyalty, environmentally responsible behavior based on Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model. Four hundred eighty-six nature-based tourists were collected from Xitou Nature Education Area, Taiwan. Results show that SOR model can effectively explain tourists' generation. Tourists' attractiveness would significantly trigger behavior. Attitudinal loyalty are essential drivers to generate...

Abstract Evidence suggests leisure presents an important context for wellness and development students. Also optimal effects of participation are closely associated with individual's perceived freedom in manipulating or controlling discretionary free time. This study examined Taiwanese university students’ behaviours their capacity managing leisure. Relationships among the cognitive components control competence, (PFL ), chosen activities, were tested. To validate these structural...

University students in 2 locations were surveyed identify which one advantages RV use might inspire them make investment type resource. image purposes benefits measured, series t-tests one-way ANOVAs used analyze responses. results demonstrated that respondents very interested activities, group advocates for...

摘要:

The year 2004 represents a landmark for interpretive research in Taiwan—it has been 20 years since the completion of first academic thesis examining topic interpretation 1984. Fifty-six completed masters’ theses signal boom resource research. Within past two decades, scope expanded from general to specific, resource-based sites diverse settings, and “service orientation” “management tool orientation”. This analysis Taiwan attempts (1) compare contrast what topics related guiding have...

This research aims to verify the relationships between destination ij3dentity, environmental concern, and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB), based on Cognition–Affect–Behavior (C–A–B) model, in Sun-Link-Sea Forest Recreation Area (SLSFRA) Taiwan. study also address gap understanding whether tourists’ family structure, with or without children, influences impact of identity their concerns ERB.
