ABSTRACT This theoretical paper provides a new perspective on coastal vulnerability analysis by combining geography and psycho-social approaches. Most studies on perceptions of coastal risks report that people who are exposed have a low level of perceived vulnerability (they are not anxious), strong place attachment (they love their living place and want to live close to the sea) and are resistant to changes in adaptation strategies (they do not want to move away). For natural scientists and managers, these findings usually appear as paradoxes that enhance vulnerability and lead to these people being labelled ‘irrational’, ‘in denial’, ‘uninformed’ or ‘uneducated’. Based on our long-term studies among coastal inhabitants in France, we believe that using Social Representations Theory (SRT) in this context enables us to go beyond these preconceived and individual-centred ideas towards a more contextualized view. This position extends theoretical risk/vulnerability research and is applicable to coastal risk management.

Abstract Human-induced climate change is associated with more and more frequent emergent risks and natural disasters. This research aims to study how individuals characterize climate change and flooding, by taking into account their experience of flooding (exposure and/or experience) and their place attachment. In order to do so, we consider the model of psychological distance and the risk perception. A questionnaire was submitted to 325 people. The results show that place attachment and psychological distances linked to climate change and flooding can explain the perception of flooding risk. The analyzes confirm that risk assessment is linked to the experience of flooding. Moreover, individuals without any flooding experience perceive climate change as being closer to them. These results are discussed in relation to the importance of taking context and experience into account when implementing field interventions.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyse the credibility of the content of the message and that of news stories about environmental problems, comparing the cases of Argentina and Spain. Its novel contribution is that it also analyses credibility according to the generation to which the informant belongs. In Argentina, information was compiled by means of an online survey (NArgentina = 450), whereas in Spain the same survey was conducted by interviewers (NSpain = 493). Low levels of credibility were found for the contents of messages about environmental problems and also for the news stories and narratives generated around them. Significant differences were noted between Argentina and Spain in relation to the credibility of the content of the message (which is greater in Argentina) but not in the credibility of news stories about environmental problems. In contrast to expectations, no generational differences were found in the two countries with regard to either type of credibility. This paper discusses the implications of the lack of generational segmentation as well as the low levels of credibility detected.

Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) involve a progressive deterioration in cognitive function, including attention. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) argues that visualization of certain natural landscapes improves attention. The aim of this article is to ascertain whether people with AD and MCI could benefit from exposure to restorative landscapes in a selective attention test. A randomized controlled trial was conducted. 32 participants (72% women) diagnosed with AD (52%) or MCI performed a selective attention test before and after exposure. The experimental group was exposed to restorative landscapes, while the control group was exposed to alternative material. The experimental group was faster (intergroup comparison) and more precise (intragroup comparison). Restorative landscapes have been proven to be useful for selective attention in people with AD and MCI, providing an additional resource in cognitive interventions.

Abstract The biophilia hypothesis states that human beings have an innate tendency to connect with nature. The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the full and short versions of both the Environmental Identity Scale (EID) and the Nature Relatedness Scale (NR). Participants were 209 Singaporean undergraduate students (67.9% females) from a medium-sized university in Singapore. Exploratory factor analyses revealed a unidimensional structure for the Full EID and the Short EID. Acceptable internal consistency coefficients of .96 and .92 were found for the two instruments, respectively. Exploratory factor analyses revealed a three-factor structure for the Full NR: (a) NR-Self; (b) NR-Experience; and (c) NR-Perspective. However, two items were removed, and there are differences in the items that load on each factor. In addition, the NR-Perspective is unreliable, with an internal consistency coefficient of .62. Exploratory factor analyses revealed a unidimensional structure for the Short NR. An acceptable internal consistency coefficient of .82 was found. Taken together, the current study provided support for the use of the Full and Short EID and the Short NR as psychometrically valid instruments among Singapore undergraduate students.

Abstract The study of psychological restoration in urban settings has undergone significant growth in recent years. The aim of this paper is to develop an instrument for the objective evaluation of the restorative potential of urban public spaces. Perceived restoration scales and a large number of systematic social observation instruments were reviewed, selecting items that might be suitable for the aims of this study and adding other items designed ad hoc. The resulting tool is made up of 183 items, grouped into 12 domains. The final format of the instrument was used by a group of four evaluators in a total of six urban squares. This paper reports the statistics obtained for the internal consistency of the instrument (inter-judge agreement) and convergent validity through correlations of the objective scores from each public square with the perceived and experienced restoration of a sample of users of said public squares (N = 296). The tool delivered an adequate level of reliability, and its scores were related to restoration measures, although the size of this association was small.

Abstract This article presents the findings of a research project that aimed to validate, in a Latin American setting, a scale to measure perceived residential environment quality (PREQ), developed principally on the basis of several studies conducted in different Italian cities in the 1990s. The instrument, a questionnaire comprising 19 sub-scales, was completed by 394 residents of Flores, in the canton of Heredia, Costa Rica. The scales were validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results confirm reliability and validity for the majority of the 12 factors examined, in spite of geographical, morphological and socio-cultural dissimilarities between the different urban contexts where the studies were conducted. The scales for which a favourable result was not obtained were reconfigured and yielded good fit indices, also managing to reduce the number of factors to 11 ((1) Architecture and Urban Space; (2) Mobility, Transport and Connectivity; (3) Green Areas; (4) Socio-Relational Features; (5) Social Care; (6) Recreational Services; (7) Commercial Services; (8) Pace of Life; (9) Environmental Health; (10) Upkeep; (11) Place Attachment) along with the total number of items included on the instrument.

Abstract Despite an ever-increasing use of the Environmental Attitude Inventory (EAI), few studies have aimed at checking the dimensional structure of its 24-item version and particularly the structure of the subdimensions and its two main dimensions: utilization and preservation of the environment. Structural analyses confirmed the strength of the structure. Pro-environmental behaviours can be predicted by this scale, mainly through the dimension of preservation. Lastly, two of the ideological and emotional subdimensions of preservation appeared not to be highly specific in the French context of our study: environmental movement activism and ecocentrism, which cover ecological behaviour and the support for interventionist conservation policies. If the objective of the scale is not to study those two dimensions, we suggest a shorter version of the EAI, more balanced, coherent and structured into 20 items comprising 10 clearly distinct subdimensions.

Abstract This paper aimed to assess the structural validity of the Portuguese version (EAI-PT) of the Environmental Attitudes Inventory using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA showed that all 12 EAI-PT scales have adequate reliabilities. Ten scales loaded heavily on one higher-order factor, whilst scales 5 (confidence in science and technology) and 12 (support for population growth policies) loaded on a different factor; moreover, these scales did not correlate with any other scale, indicating that they are not related to environmental attitudes in the Portuguese population. The removal of these two scales and five items from other scales is suggested, resulting in an EAI-PT version with 95 items and 10 scales. CFA confirmed that a vertical structure of EA with either two second-order factors that reflect the dilemma between Preservation and Utilization or one second-order factor that expresses a bipolar view of environmental attitudes are equally adequate.

Abstract The literature has approached the issue of leisure experience in protected areas from different theoretical and methodological angles, establishing, among other questions, the need to explore approaches capable of explaining the sense of place established by visitors to natural protected areas based on their leisure experiences and the influence exerted on this construction by sociodemographic variables and preferences. Taking a quantitatively driven mixed approach, a total of 704 tourists were surveyed in three national parks in Chile, and the findings included the following: (1) the most significant variable when it comes to constructing senses of place lies in the opportunity for visitors to enjoy their desired leisure experiences; (2) the levels of the different dimensions of sense of place vary according to gender, age, ethnic origin and quality of the leisure offer; and (3) confirmation of the emerging and multidimensional nature of leisure experience in contact with nature.
