对全球生物多样性的持续威胁刺激了私人购买土地进行保护的兴趣。虽然这不是一个新现象,但私人土地保护似乎正在兴起,其在慈善和金融投资之间的模糊定位导致了对土地所有者动机本质的质疑。为了检验这些动机,我们使用了扎根理论技术来分析与私人保护区(pca)所有者的叙述性访谈记录,并评估了土地所有者在各种文化和政策背景下的共同点。其结果是形成了一种PCA参与模式,在这种模式中,土地所有者亲自投资于PCA的管理及其所保护的自然。我们发现PCAs不仅可以被定义为慈善事业或投资,还可以被定义为其所有者参与的有意义的项目。我们将研究结果与文献相结合,表明自主性、有效性和社会联系的基本心理驱动力促进了参与过程,无论保护动机是内在的还是外在的。我们的研究结果表明,土地保护计划可能受益于最大程度地允许土地所有者自治,制定最佳实践标准,土地所有者可以根据其评估其效力,并促进土地所有者网络的发展。
Continued threats to global biodiversity have stimulated interest in the private purchase of land for conservation. Though not a new phenomenon, private land conservation appears to be on the rise, and its ambiguous position between philanthropy and financial investment leads to questions about the nature of landowner motives. To examine these motives, we used grounded theory techniques to analyze transcripts of narrative interviews with the owners of privately conserved areas (PCAs) and assessed what landowners had in common across a variety of cultural and policy contexts. The result was a model of PCA engagement in which landowners became personally invested in the management of PCAs and in the nature they protected. We found that PCAs can be conceptualized not merely as philanthropic endeavors or investments, but also as meaningful projects in which their owners engage. We integrated our findings with literature indicating that fundamental psychological drives for autonomy, efficacy, and social connection facilitate the engagement process, regardless of whether conservation motivation is intrinsic or extrinsic. Our findings suggest that land conservation programs might benefit from allowing landowner autonomy to the maximum extent possible, developing best practice standards against which landowners can assess their efficacy, and facilitating the development of landowner networks.
