气候变化是对生态系统和依赖生态系统的人类的全球性威胁。然而，对气候变化威胁的感知可能在空间上有所不同。先前的研究表明，农村地区的居民比城市居民表现出更高的地方依恋（将意义与特定的地方联系起来），这可能是因为农村人更直接地依赖于当地的环境。这可以塑造观念和行为，例如增强参与景观保护的意愿。在这里，我们询问它是否也使农村人将气候变化视为更大的威胁，使用来自英国（UK）的1,071名调查受访者的代表性样本提供一阶见解。我们发现，虽然地方依恋的指标确实在农村地区更为频繁，但在大多数农村地区，气候变化的感知威胁较低。我们讨论了对这种模式的可能解释（包括对气候变化人为原因的认识水平较低，由于调节生态系统服务水平较高而减少了对气候变化影响的第一手经验，以及农村地区与自然关系更密切而具有更高的恢复能力），并呼吁进一步研究对此进行调查。
Climate change is a global threat to ecosystems and the people that depend on them. However, the perceived threat of climate change may vary spatially. Previous research suggests that inhabitants in rural areas show higher levels of place attachment (associating meaning with a specific place) than urbanites, possibly because rural people depend more directly on their local environment. This can shape perceptions and behaviours, such as enhanced willingness to engage in landscape preservation. Here we ask if it also makes rural people perceive climate change as a greater threat, using a representative sample of 1,071 survey respondents from across the United Kingdom (UK) to provide first-order insights. We found that, whilst indicators of place attachment were indeed more frequent in rural areas, the perceived threat of climate change in the most rural locations was lower. We discuss possible explanations for this pattern (including lower levels of awareness of the anthropogenic causes of climate change, lessened first-hand experiences of climate change impacts due to higher levels of regulating ecosystem services, and higher levels of resilience in rural areas related to a closer relationship with nature), and call for further research to investigate this.
