“…Surprisingly, the environmental sensitivity of volunteer scuba divers exhibited no significant effect on destination social responsibility or environmentally responsible behaviors, which is different from the findings of related studies [12,44]. However, the results of this study do not mean a lack of empathy and concern for the marine environment among volunteer scuba divers, or a lack of marine destination responsibility and environmentally responsible behaviors; instead, other factors contribute to this causal outcome.…”

Volunteer scuba divers have become indispensable stakeholders in marine environmental protection, as their educational knowledge and environmental awareness create environmentally responsible attitudes and behaviors, which are the key elements to promote the sustainable development of marine environments. The purposes of this study are to use the C-A-B model to examine the relationship between the environmental knowledge, environmental sensitivity, destination social responsibility, and environmentally responsible behaviors of volunteer scuba divers, and also explore the moderating effects of first-time and repeat volunteers. In order to achieve these research purposes, this study adopted quantitative research to verify the research structure and proposed hypotheses and prepared a questionnaire with reference to relevant previous studies. A total of 238 Taiwan marine volunteer scuba divers were selected as the subjects through intentional sampling, and the effective questionnaire recovery rate was 92.9%. A structural equation was used to verify the model of environmentally responsible behaviors of volunteer scuba divers, as based on the C-A-B model. This study found that environmental knowledge had a significant impact on destination social responsibility, and destination social responsibility had a significant impact on environmentally responsible behaviors. Destination social responsibility also had the effect of complete mediation on the model. In addition, the first-time and repeat volunteers had a significant mediating effect on the causal relationship between environmental knowledge and environmentally responsible behaviors, as well as between environmental sensitivity and environmentally responsible behaviors. The explanatory power of the overall model on the environmentally responsible behaviors of volunteer scuba divers is 69.0%, and their knowledge, sense of responsibility, experience, and level of involvement can be regarded as the determinants of their environmentally responsible behaviors.

“…Environmental sensitivity is a set of affective attributes that may result in an individual perceiving environmental concern empathetically ( Perterson, 1982 ). Environmental sensitivity is a construct that affects place attachments and environmental attitudes toward environmentally friendly behavior ( Saputra and Putra, 2020 ). Even though it promotes environmental stewardship behaviors, environmental sensitivity has received relatively less attention from researchers ( Ananda and Hampf, 2015 ).…”

“…Further, more attention is necessary to explore environmental sensitivity to increase pro-environmental behaviors (Metzger and Mcewen, 1999). A previous study (Saputra and Putra, 2020) showed that environmental sensitivity had a significant and positive effect on place attachment. Further, environmental sensitivity and place attachment both positively influenced environmentally responsible behavior.…”

The relationship between perceived restorativeness and place attachment for hikers at Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park in South Korea: the moderating effect of environmental sensitivity

ObjectivesJeju Gotjawal Provincial Park provides visitors with opportunities for outdoor recreation and informs visitors of the environmental significance of the park’s ecosystem. This study attempted to examine how the perceived restorativeness of park visitors influenced their place attachment. In addition, the moderating effect of environmental sensitivity on the hypothesized relationship was explored.MethodsUsing the purposive sampling method, 408 surveys were collected at Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park. The hypotheses were tested by confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and invariance tests using Lisrel 8.70.ResultsThe results indicated that perceived restorativeness had a positive influence on place attachment (place identity and place dependence). Further, the hypothesized relationship was stronger for the visitors with higher environmental sensitivity, compared to those with weaker environmental sensitivity.ConclusionPark managers should consider ways to increase the perceived restorativeness of visitors as they experience the natural environment at the park. Also, since environmental sensitivity played an important role in shaping the perceived restorativeness–place attachment relationship, there is a need for educational programs that can inform visitors of the significance of the natural environment to increase their affection for nature.

“…However, it can be very useful for practitioners to measure the place attachment of the country's nationals at a dark-heritage tourist destination. There are a plethora of studies that have measured the relationship between place attachment and tourists' satisfaction in the dark tourism context (Prayag et al, 2018;Saputra and Putra, 2020). However, very few have paid attention to the very crucial aspect of tourist loyalty (Wang et al, 2021b).…”

PurposeThe question of whether tourist destinations established in the aftermath of a disaster will attract visitors remains unanswered. This study attempts to answer this question by examining the effect of nation identity on tourists' loyalty in dark heritage tourism through place attachment using the social identity and attachment theory.Design/methodology/approachIn this quantitative study, data were collected from 622 tourists through a survey method at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, India. Data analysis was performed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that tourists' national identity is a very important variable, not only in retaining the tourists at a destination but also in increasing their attachment towards that particular destination. Place attachment is found to be a predictor of tourist loyalty at a dark tourist destination. Finally, results of the mediation analysis show that place attachment mediates the relationship between national identity and tourist loyalty.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of the study contribute to the research knowledge about a dark heritage tourist destination by exploring the role of national identity in explaining the place attachment and tourist loyalty towards a dark heritage tourist destination. The practical implications for site managers have also been discussed.Originality/valueThe study used the social identity theory and attachment theory to come up with an empirical model of place attachment for a dark heritage tourist destination. This study adds value to understanding national identity, place attachment and tourists' loyalty by exploring their inter-relationship. The focus on diverse characteristics of place attachment is what makes this study unique.
