“…Encouraging environmentally responsible behaviours by visitors is now an important strategy for promoting sustainability (Ballantyne, Packer & Hughes, 2009;Brown, Ham & Hughes, 2010;Halpenny, 2010) and thus long-term benefits for the tourism industry (Lopez-Mosquera, & Sanchez, 2011 Another construct which deserves investigation in a nature-based context is that of place satisfaction. Consistent with theories of attitude, Stedman (2002) argues that place satisfaction is strongly based on cognitive attributes about the place's settings.…”

This paper critically examines the concept of place attachment and its likely influence on proenvironmental behavioural intention of visitors. It considers place attachment as a multidimensional construct comprising place dependence, place identity, place affect, and place social bonding, and suggests that research investigating this relationship in a national park context is fragmented, scattered, and often does not fully consider its multi-dimensional nature. A coherent and integrated approach is needed to advance the field. By considering place attachment as an attitude and acknowledging the close relationship between attitude and behavioural intention when both are directed toward a particular object or environment, the paper develops a conceptual framework that integrates the different place attachment subconstructs. It presents their relationship to pro-environmental behavioural intention as a series of propositions. The framework further considers place satisfaction to exert a direct influence on visitors' pro-environmental behavioural intentions in national parks and a moderating effect on the relationship between the different place constructs and proenvironmental behavioural intention in parks. Finally, the latter construct is proposed to influence visitors' general pro-environmental behavioural intentions. The paper's theoretical contributions, its limitations and its practical implications for sustainable tourism in general and national park management in particular, are discussed.

“…Studies have focused on, for example, the valuation of nine protected areas in Spain (ParqueSobirá, Moncayo, Gran Canaria, Motril, Mongragüe, Albufera, Bértiz, Ordesa, and Posets-Maladeta) [25], the Desierto de Las Palmas area of the Comunitat Valenciana [26] and on the improvements resulting from the new uses of natural settings, such as for recreational activities [27]. The CVM has also been used in other studies to quantify the use of public parks by the inhabitants of big cities [28].…”

Drovers’ Roads as Environmental Assets: Use Value for Recreational Purposes of the <i>Cañada Real del Reino de Valencia</i>

Drovers' roads have been a key part of transhumant pastoralism for decades, being the routes on which to drive livestock, and it is for this reason that they are protected by Spanish law, specifically Law 3/1995, by which they were declared public goods. At the same time, their particular nature also means that they also possess characteristics which are typical of other types of public goods; therefore, in order to estimate their value, market-based techniques cannot be used. This study centres on a project for the restoration for recreational purposes of the Cañada Real del Reino de Valencia, a drovers' road in the Valencia region of Spain. In order to establish its economic value, the contingent valuation method has been used: this is the most commonly used technique for the valuation of non-market goods and it is widely attested in the economic literature, being used in a large number of different settings. Assuming a useful life of 25 years and a social discount rate of 5%, the value of the Cañada Real del Reino de Valencia has been estimated at €441.82 million, indicating the value which society places on the drovers' road. This estimation may assist in improving the efficiency of public spending policies.

“…This separates the spending decision into the stages of 'whether' and 'how much' to spend. This model has been used widely in different fields, such as the evaluation of public goods (Saz-Salazar and Rausell-Köster, 2008;López-Mosquera and Sánchez, 2011;Marzetti et al, 2011;Marzetti and Disegna, 2012), food expenditure (Newman and Matthews, 2001;Bai et al, 2010), analysis of consumption (Jones and Yen, 2000;Aristei and Pierani, 2008), and visitors' expenditure (Hong et al 1999;Weagley and Huh, 2004;Hong et al, 2005;Nicolau and Màs, 2005;Jang et al, 2007;Jang and Ham, 2009;Kim et al, 2010;Brida et al, 2012b). Cragg's (1971) approach estimates a probit model for the first stage, whereas a log-normal or truncated normal model is used for the amount of spending.…”

Visitors of Two Types of Museums: Do Expenditure Patterns Differ?

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The authors study the determinants of the expenditure behaviour of visitors to two types of museums. Ad hoc surveys were conducted between June and September 2011 of visitors to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Modern and Contemporaneous Art of Trento and Rovereto (MART). These are the two principal museums in the Italian provinces of Bolzano and Trento. The double-hurdle model is used via the Heien and Wessels two-step estimator. This procedure splits the process of spending decision into the stages of 'selection' and 'outcome', and also results in consistent estimates. The findings highlight two distinct profiles. The spending of visitors to the modern art museum is positively related to its cultural interest, whereas the expenditure profile of the archaeological museum visitors is more 'generalist'.Keywords: visitors' expenditure; museums; double-hurdle model; spending behaviour C19; D12; L83 Museums are the most popular cultural attractions (McKercher, 2004), followed by art galleries and monuments. Their unique cultural role is built on the creation of new understandings of the past and the reaffirmation of an identity in time and space (McIntosh and Prentice, 1999), which is often unavailable elsewhere (Graburn, 1983(Graburn, , 1998Tufts and Milne, 1999). For a long time This research was supported by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano project 'Le attrazioni culturali e naturali come motore dello sviluppo turistico. Un'analisi del loro impatto economico, sociale e culturale', and by the Free University of Bolzano projects 'Determinants of tourist expenditure: theory and microeconometric models' and 'Museum visitors: a comparative socio-economic analysis'.
