城市是鼓励更广泛地采用有利于人类和野生动物的亲环境行为（PEB）的重要场所。野生景观（wildscapes）是一种PEB管理方式，人们通过这种方式创建野生动物友好的花园，这一做法得到了保护组织的推广，但关于野生景观需要什么以及哪些因素有助于持续参与的基本问题仍然存在。我们使用社会生态系统（SES）框架来研究科罗拉多州接受过景观园艺认证和培训的城市居民的行为变化。我们采用了半结构化访谈（n = 11）、定量调查（n = 63）、参与观察和文献分析，并使用基础理论技术分析数据。我们发现项目参与者参与了14项以在他们的财产上创造栖息地为目标的园艺行为，以及11项以社会变革为目标的倡导行为。这些行为是由10个相互关联的动机驱动的，包括与野生动物的共同庇护、不断变化的规范、审美美和地方感。随着时间的推移，包括社会互动和正式项目参与在内的多尺度环境因素持续了对景观的参与。这些发现提供了第一个SES对城市居民如何开始和扩大他们对景观园艺和倡导的参与的理解。未来的研究应该集中在如何理解社会经济地位特征，从而在城市景观中实现更有效的行为改变计划。保护推广可以考虑SES的可能方法包括鼓励参与者动机和行为之间不断发展的反馈循环，强调个人及其社会生态环境的互惠利益，以及促进不同类型的参与者在系统的多个尺度上的协调参与。
Cities are important sites for encouraging more widespread adoption of pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) that benefit humans and wildlife alike. Wildscaping, a type of stewardship PEB in which people create wildlife-friendly gardens, has been promoted by conservation organizations, yet fundamental questions remain about what wildscaping entails and what factors contribute to sustained involvement. We used a social-ecological systems (SES) framework to examine behavior change among urban residents in Colorado who had received wildscape gardening certification and training. We employed semi-structured interviews (n = 11), quantitative surveys (n = 63), participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed data using grounded theoretical techniques. We found that program participants engaged in 14 gardening behaviors targeting habitat creation on their properties, and 11 advocacy behaviors targeting social change. These behaviors were driven by 10 interconnected motivations, including mutual refuge with wildlife, changing norms, aesthetic beauty, and sense of place. Engagement in wildscaping was sustained over time by multi-scalar contextual factors, including social interactions and formal program participation. These findings offer the first SES understanding of how urban residents begin and expand their engagement in wildscape gardening and advocacy. Future research should focus on how understanding of SES characteristics can enable more effective behavior change programs in urban landscapes. Possible ways that conservation outreach could consider SES include encouraging evolving feedback loops between participants’ motivations and behaviors, emphasizing reciprocal benefits to individuals and their social-ecological context, and promoting coordinated involvement by different types of actors at multiple scales of the system.
