“…It was found that the degree of correlation between environmental attitude and behavior was low to moderate. Vlahakis et al (2013) selected six-grade students of elementary schools in Taoyuan County as the research targets and found that the environmental attitude was correlated to the choice of environmental action strategies. Zsóka et al (2013) selected students of the National Taiwan University as the targets and revealed the research results that these students presented a significant correlation and consistency between their overall attitude toward eco-friendly and their real eco-friendly behaviors that had been observed.…”

Abstract. Due to the popularity of recreation and entertainment activities, the concept of ecotourism is getting popular in recent years. The research targets in this study include tourists to the Wuyi Mountain Duanyuan Ecological Tourism Zone, China. The convenience sampling approach is used in this study and a total of 500 questionnaire copies are dispatched. There are 372 valid questionnaire copies returned and the rate of response is 74%. The results of this study indicate that 1.there is a positive correlation between the environmental knowledge and the environmental attitude, 2.there is a positive correlation between the environmental attitude and the environmental behavior, and 3.there is a positive correlation between the environmental knowledge and the environmental behavior. Finally, recommendations are proposed based on the research results and expected to be beneficial for culturing common people's environmental literacy, correct environmental attitude, environmental and ecological caring, and fulfillment of environmental behaviors.

Great works of literary fiction seem to mirror life and its complexity. This paper claims that engaging in reading fiction can be beneficial for OR practitioners as it enhances systems thinking and understanding of complex human affairs. Using the experience of reading a fiction book, we applied Causal Mapping (CM) to Reading Labs, where participants read and share their views of fiction literature to appreciate the complexity of multiple and differing reading perspectives. The approach we adopt hinges on the relationship between literature and OR, two disciplines which belong to different fields of knowledge (humanities and science, respectively), but when examined in more detail, connect in meaningful ways. We explore this connection to identify potential gains of increasing systemic thinking awareness in the reading groups' context. The findings of this interdisciplinary study show that use of CM (i) enhances systemic thinking by producing a synthesis and shared views on what was meaningful and useful; and (ii) translates the subjectivity produced by the shared reading experience into new actions strengthened by systemic thinking awareness. These results should be of interest to Soft/OR practitioners using CM and systems practitioners working on encouraging the use of systems thinking in systemic interventions.

“…Many studies have displayed a significant relationship between knowledge about the environment and the attitude towards it ( van Birgelen et al, 2011 ; Araghi et al, 2014 ). In other words, people with a positive environmental attitude are more willing to perform for pro-environmental behaviors ( Zsóka et al, 2013 ; Davison et al, 2014 ; Vlahakis et al, 2014 ).…”
