私人土地占美国陆地面积的一半以上,主导着某些生态系统并拥有大量受威胁和濒临灭绝的物种。因此,了解私有财产对于保护至关重要,但保护生物学家对这些土地的研究仍然不足。缺乏研究的一个关键因素是难以获得进入私人土地的许可。然而,几乎没有实证工作为自然科学家在这个问题上提供指导。通过结合邮件调查和访谈,我们对土地所有者有关使用其私有财产的决策进行了首批实证研究之一,并确定了主要驱动因素和威慑因素。我们发现,如果土地所有者有兴趣了解正在进行的研究,如果他们之前允许对其财产进行研究,如果他们对保护持积极态度,如果他们拥有更大的财产,那么自然科学家可能会更成功地获得机会。我们还发现,许多土地所有者出于提供帮助的愿望而允许进行研究。相反,如果土地所有者担心这样做会限制其财产的自由使用,他们就不太可能允许研究。土地所有者的年龄、教育程度、对科学的信任以及对研究主题的态度并不是土地所有者决策的重要预测因素。通过在请求使用房产时考虑我们的发现并在研究过程中与土地所有者接触,科学家可以提高他们使用房产的机会,提高土地所有者对体验的满意度,并增加土地所有者将来接受对其土地进行研究的请求的可能性。
Private land comprises over half the land mass of the United States—dominating certain ecosystems and hosting large numbers of threatened and endangered species. Understanding privately owned properties is thus critically important to conservation, yet these lands remain understudied by conservation biologists. A key factor in this lack of research is the difficulty of gaining permission to access private lands. However, there has been almost no empirical work to offer guidance for natural scientists on this issue. Using a combination of mail surveys and interviews, we undertook one of the first empirical studies of landowner decisions regarding access to their private property for research, and we identified the primary drivers and deterrents. We found that natural scientists may have more success gaining access if the landowners are interested in learning about the research taking place, if they have previously allowed research on their property, if they have positive attitudes toward conservation, and if they have larger properties. We also found that many landowners allowed research out of a desire to be helpful. Conversely, landowners are less likely to allow research if they are concerned that doing so will restrict free use of their property. Landowner age, education, trust in science, and attitude toward the subject of study were not significant predictors of landowner decisions. By considering our findings when requesting access to properties and engaging with landowners during research, scientists can improve their chances of accessing properties, enhance landowner satisfaction with the experience, and increase the likelihood that landowners will be amenable to future requests to conduct research on their land.
