Abstract

Since tourist behavior plays the primary role in protecting the environment, this study has been conducted to extend the psychological perspectives of visitors' environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) in one of the most important natural heritage sites in Iran (Damavand Mountain) in the COVID-19 pandemic timeline and provide awareness for destination environmentalists as well as managers on how to control visitors' behavior. Likewise, Robbins (2002) Organizational Behavior model has been tested on ERB in ecotourism. Generally, 260 reliable questionnaires have been analyzed by using PLS-SEM2.0. The findings showed that (1) Visitors' attitude and ability toward nature would positively affect their ERB;(2) Motivation and learning mediate the impact of visitors' attitude and ability on their ERB;(3) Ability plays a significant role in the formation of visitors' ERB. Thus, the best way to change visitors' behavior is to educate them to make ERB more like a habit. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

伊朗达马万德山游客环境责任行为形成的因素

由于游客行为在保护环境方面起着主要作用，本研究旨在扩展新冠肺炎大流行时间线内伊朗最重要的自然遗产之一（达马万德山）游客对环境负责行为（ERB）的心理视角，并为目的地环保主义者和管理者提供如何控制游客行为的意识。同样，Robbins（2002）的组织行为模型也在生态旅游中的ERB上进行了测试。一般来说，使用PLS-SEM2.0对260份可靠的问卷进行了分析。研究结果表明：（1）游客对自然的态度和能力对ERB有正向影响；（2）动机和学习在访问者的态度和能力对其ERB的影响中起中介作用；（3）能力在游客ERB的形成中起着重要作用。因此，改变访客行为的最佳方法是教育他们使再培训更像一种习惯。©2022 Informa UK Limited，交易名称为Taylor&Francis Group。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ecotourism seeks to advance the field by examining the social, economic, and ecological aspects of ecotourism at a number of scales, and including regions from around the world. Journal of Ecotourism welcomes conceptual, theoretical, and empirical research, particularly where it contributes to the dissemination of new ideas and models of ecotourism planning, development, management, and good practice. While the focus of the journal rests on a type of tourism based principally on natural history - along with other associated features of the man-land nexus - it will consider papers which investigate ecotourism as part of a broader nature based tourism, as well as those works which compare or contrast ecotourism/ists with other forms of tourism/ists.
