关于公民科学项目的研究强调，它们可以促进科学内容和知识的获取，增强亲环境行为，并培养参与者之间的公民行动。特别是在基于地点的公民科学的情况下，它需要通过科学的视角在户外环境中反复进行动手活动，证据表明，其中一些结果可能与这些项目提供的独特的人-地关系和互动有关。即便如此，经验性地检验地点对公民科学参与者和项目结果的影响的研究仍然很少。这在一定程度上是由于在调查一个人的地方感的复杂方面——比如地方依恋——人与地方之间的情感纽带——时所面临的方法论挑战。本文提出了一个适应的三维地点依恋模型，作为一个理论框架，可以从这个框架中对基于地点的公民科学经验和结果进行深入的实证检验。该模型假设了地方依恋的个人、社会和自然环境维度，并将其与美国海岸观测和海鸟调查小组（co助理）公民科学计划的研究结果结合起来。co助理的数据表明，参与者确实在依恋的所有三个维度上都表现出地点依恋，这些维度被分为七个独特的构式，尽管关于三个中心维度上个人层面依恋的独特强度、构成（形状）和规模（空间、社会和自然科学）的问题仍然存在。至关重要的是，需要更多的研究来调查参与者独特的地方依恋“概况”是否是个人、社会或项目变量在项目参与前后的函数。为了鼓励进一步研究基于地方的公民科学的经验、暴露和项目组成部分与参与者的地方依恋概况之间的潜在联系，本文简要回顾了所讨论的适应性三维地方依恋模型所提供的研究机会。推进这一调查路线是更广泛努力的一个重要组成部分，旨在了解如何通过基于地点的公民科学改变地方感，以及这是否与特定的项目产出或科学知识、生态理解和公民参与方面的参与者成果有关。在本文的支持信息中可以找到一个免费的简单语言摘要。
Research on citizen science programmes has highlighted that they can foster science content and knowledge gain, enhance pro‐environmental behaviour and cultivate civic action among participants. Especially in the case of place‐based citizen science, which requires hands‐on repeated activity in an out‐of‐door setting through a scientific lens, evidence suggests that some of these outcomes may be linked to the unique people–place relationships and interactions afforded by such programmes.Even still, studies that empirically examine the influence of place on citizen science participant and programme outcomes are scant. This is due, in part, to the methodological challenges involved in interrogating complex aspects of a person's sense of place—aspects like place attachment—the emotional bonds between people and place.Here, an adapted three‐dimensional model of place attachment is proposed as a theoretical framework from which place‐based citizen science experiences and outcomes might be empirically examined in depth. The model, which posits personal, social and natural environment dimensions of place attachment is contextualized with research findings from the US‐based Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) citizen science programme.Data from COASST suggest that participants do exhibit place attachment in all three dimensions of attachment, categorized within seven unique constructs, although questions remain regarding the unique intensity, make‐up (shape) and scale (spatial, social and nature‐science) of individual‐level attachment along the three central dimensions. Critically, more research is needed to investigate whether the unique place attachment ‘profile’ of participants is a function of personal, social or programmatic variables pre‐ and post‐programme participation.To encourage further scholarship on potential links between the experiences, exposures and programme components of place‐based citizen science and the place attachment profiles of participants, this paper includes a brief review of the research opportunities presented by the adapted three‐dimensional place attachment model discussed.Advancing this line of inquiry is an important component of broader efforts to understand how sense of place is altered via place‐based citizen science and whether or not that is linked to specific programme outputs or participant outcomes in science knowledge, ecological understanding and civic engagement.A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article.
