“…On the contrary, Paço and Lavrador [40] put forward the argument that there is no correlation between environmental knowledge and energy consumption. Furthermore, Ye et al [41] identified three pathways from PEB to willingness to participate in subsequent PEB, revealing the mediating effect of knowledge using SEM. Accordingly, the following hypothesis is proposed:…”

Trip cost indirectly reflects the perceived value (PV) related to a tourist destination, which can be influenced by knowledge, motivation, and behavior. This research investigated the relationship between PV and pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Moreover, the influence of environmental knowledge and motives on PEB was ascertained. Hikkaduwa National Park, Sri Lanka, was considered as a case study, and 235 visitors were interviewed for data collection. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was developed based on the proposed hypotheses. The average individual cost of traveling of local tourists is USD 4.7, which reflects the PV. The results revealed that motivation directly and indirectly impacts PV, and PEB positively influences PV. Environmental knowledge does not positively influence either PEB or PV. Motivating individuals to participate in environment-related activities is important for encouraging PEB and positively impacting value perception. As PEB influences PV in ecotourism areas, eco-friendly individuals will visit these areas as they value them more. Anthropogenic impacts are minimized if the visitors are environmentally friendly. Accordingly, this study highlights the desirability of promoting ecotourism and PEB for the environmental sustainability of marine habitats. The management of ecotourism destinations can develop strategies to use PEB to ensure the long-term survival of these areas.

PurposeThe study aims to analyze the relationship between tourists' satisfaction and their sense of belonging in a specific cultural destination by also investigating the moderating role of their on-site involvement, both offline (on-site activities at the destination) and online (social media activities). A further objective lies in exploring the relationship between tourists' sense of belonging and their adoption of environmentally responsible behavior while at the destination. Finally, the paper attempts to determine whether said behavior can predict tourists' pro-environmental behavior and recommendation intention.Design/methodology/approachTo reach these objectives, a survey and a structural equation model, based on a sample of 647 visitors of an important world Heritage site UNESCO (i.e. Urbino), have been adopted.FindingsFindings reveal a positive influence of sense of belonging on satisfaction and environmentally responsible behavior, which, in turn, influences pro-environmental behavior and Recommendation intention, thus triggering a virtuous process in the tourists' formation as responsible and loyal travelers. Moreover, results underline how the relationship between satisfaction and sense of belonging is significantly strengthened when tourists' on-site activity involvement increases. Conversely, the moderating role of social media involvement is not supported.Practical implicationsThe present study offers important implications for different actors in the tourism sector, such as policy makers, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and tourism operators.Social implicationsThe present study explores the role of social media involvement, specifically during the tourist's holiday.Originality/valueThis study enriches the empirical evidence in the cultural tourism through an analysis focused on the tourists' perspective, especially by investigating the relationship between satisfaction and emotional constructs (i.e. sense of belonging) that are able to bring environmental and loyalty benefits to the destination. Moreover, although existing research has highlighted the positive influence of the tourists' involvement on their experience, there is a paucity of studies jointly analyzing the on-site and online activities in the sustainability field.

“…2.1 信息干预的直接作用关于信息干预在垃圾分类领域的应用并不多，现有研究重点关注城市的生活垃圾分类 [16,17] ，居民垃圾分类意愿、行为及影响因素 [18][19][20][21][22] ，以及垃圾的治理与利用 [23][24] [25] ，居民对环境的认知水平或容忍程度对其环保行为有重要影响 [26,27] 。②健康信息对环保行为的直接作用。健康第 44 卷第 11 期资源科学信息干预的情形大部分集中在耕地保护和医疗卫生研究领域。例如，在耕地保护领域，多数农户并不了解农业投入品的潜在健康风险 [28] ，但农户健康危害认知对其采取污染防治行为和保护型耕作措施有重要影响。③技术信息对环保行为的直接作用。技术信息是影响个体环保行为的前提条件和重要因素。例如，在耕地保护与面源污染治理方面，农业技术推广会显著促进农户采取耕地保护措施 [29] 。在技术知识或信息缺失的条件下，农民几乎不可能采用耕地保护技术 [30] ，而技术培训等信息干预可有效引导农民采用亲环境的种植行为。 2.2 信息干预的溢出效应通常来说，人们环保行为的成本与收益之间极具不对称性 [31] 靶向目标的亲环境行为 [15] ，执行一种亲环境的行为可能会改变执行其他环境行为的可能性 [32] 。这意味着垃圾分类的信息干预，或可帮助农村居民突破认知局限，纠正认知偏差，激发环保动机，进而促进其他环保行为的发生。有学者将干预对非干预目标行为的影响定义为溢出效应，而这些溢出效应可能是积极溢出，也可能是消极溢出，有时甚至是相互矛盾的经验结果 [33] 为的影响，心理因素是人们行为的诱发性变量 [34] 。有研究发现，环保认同感是个体可持续发展行为的重要预测因素 [35] ，情感、动机、信念也是影响人们环保行为的重要变量 [36][37][38][39][40] ，而不同的心理变量对人们环保行为的影响效应是有差异的 [41,42] 。但通常情况下，人们普遍认为环境关注度越高，个体进行环保行为的可能性越大 [43] 。自从《寂静的春天》发表以 [44] 。公众的环保行为是多元的、复杂的，计划行为理论 (Theory of Planned Behavior, TPB) 是从微观层面解释公众环保行为的经典理论之一，该理论提出个体行为取决于行为意向，而态度就是影响行为意向的关键因素之一 [45] ，个体的态度对其行为选择具有显著的解释作用。有研究表明环境关注度将积极促进个体的非目标环保行为 [46] 。尽管经济激励对个体环保行为有积极促进作用，但如果直接向个体强调某环保行为的经济价值，个体的环境关注度是无法直接激发的 [47] ，而目标行为的环境信息比经济激励更有可能促进个体的非目标行为 [48] 。当个体接受某类环保行为的信息时，个体超越自我的心理价值感知将促进自身其他环保行为的发生 [49] [15,32]…”
