“…When faced with the choice of high-effort pro-environmental behaviors, individuals must invest more effort, and PC over the environment can influence the degree of individual resource investment. The outcome of SN to PEBI is consistent with the majority of studies examining tourists' pro-environmental behaviors [160][161][162][163][164]; that is, the stronger the subjective norms of tourists, the more they tend to produce varying degrees of pro-environmental behavioral intentions.…”

“…In recent years, a number of scholars have also confirmed the relatively indirect effect of rational BAs on pro-environmental behavioral intentions [47] as well as the instable effect on different dimensions of pro-environmental behavior [143]. PC can promote high-effort pro-environmental behavioral intentions, which is consistent with most studies [4,159,160], and it has no significant impact on low-effort pro-environmental behavioral intentions, which is consistent with [47]. A possible reason is that individuals do not need to consider excessive resource input when performing low-effort pro-environmental behaviors and if the behavior can be controlled by themselves [157].…”

Tourists’ pro-environmental behavior is one of the key factors for the sustainable development of natural scenic spots. Although this behavior depends on the surroundings and context, the existing literature lacks the perspective of specific scenarios, especially that of embodied emotions. This research integrated the theory of planned behavior and embodied theory to construct an integrative model of pro-environmental behavior that combined tourists’ “rational planning” and “embodied emotion” and conducted an empirical study. The results show that in natural scenic spots, “rational planning” and “embodied emotion” affect tourists’ pro-environmental behavior simultaneously on dual paths, and factors such as behavioral attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, engagement with nature, and connectedness to nature have different effects on high- and low-effort pro-environmental behavioral intentions. The findings of the study provide a new explanatory perspective for individual pro-environmental behaviors and a basis for effectively predicting and guiding tourists’ pro-environmental behaviors in natural scenic spots.

“…Perceived behavioral control can have an additional direct effect on behavior under certain conditions, such as when conditions change, before the behavior is performed. In the field of ecological behavior, TPB has been shown to help explain travel mode choice [ 59 ], recycling behavior [ 61 ], water conservation [ 62 ], and ecological consumer behavior [ 63 ].…”

With the increasing number of travelling people, the behavior of tourists is having an increasing impact on the environment. Situational environmental education will influence the tourists’ responsible environmental behavior, which positively or negatively affects the environment. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of situational environmental education on tourists’ responsible environmental behavior through a field study of Changchun Water Culture Ecological Park, combined with a survey and Zaltman metaphor elicitation technique (ZMET) interview method. There are 527 questionnaires, 89 pre-questionnaires, and 15 interview records collected. The results showed that: (1) All interviewees were impressed with the situational environmental education in the park. It can be concluded that the situational environmental education is easily accepted. The reason may be that, among the theme park users, 42.69% were aged 21–30 year’s old, and 62.8% of the population have a college degree or above. (2) The standardized path coefficient of situational environmental education in tourist destinations for tourists’ behavioral intention is 0.74, and the standardized path coefficient for responsible environmental behavior is 0.78, which is much higher than the standard value of 0.4. Therefore, situational environmental education has positive influences on the tourists’ behavioral intention and responsible environmental behavior. (3) The sensitive analysis the tourists’ behavioral intention has a positive relationship with attitudes toward environmental behaviors (0.66), subjective norm (0.53), and perceptual behavior control (0.52). The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for the planning and design of urban parks.

“…Managers may also improve business by communicating their image, providing a character, and helping to link to the local territory [23]. Furthermore, the landscape represents tourism's keystone and driving force [24]. Therefore, the landscape within marinas increases the intangible values and services provided to users [25], enhancing the hospitality and the benefit.…”

Marinas are maritime features related to nautical tourism. The contemplation of pleasant surroundings acquires great importance in achieving this leisure character. The European Landscape Convention undertakes the necessity of integrating landscape into the planning policies. Thus, the marina’s management decision-making processes should reflect this awareness of the landscape. However, the landscape evaluation has not been appropriately considered despite its importance. This research attempts to introduce an initial framework to evaluate this influence, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the different subjects. For this purpose, the most significant elements of the marina management related to the landscape were rated, both from management and landscape perspectives. Two expert panels from Spain were used: 23 experts evaluated the above elements following the Delphi method, and 17 weighted the main management activities using DHP. Results show that there is a lack of concern for the landscape. Managers tend to consider physical conditions, whereas subjective conditions are relegated to the background. In this respect, this methodology provides the first stage for the landscape/management relationship, helping managers identify the main topics and prioritize related actions.
