本研究利用参观湿地的游客的地方依恋、娱乐参与、保护承诺和环境负责任行为的潜在变量来检验行为模型。总共收集了 928 份可用问卷。使用 LISREL 8.70 for Windows 对数据进行验证性因子分析和结构方程建模。分析结果进一步阐明了基于自然的旅游的行为模型，表明地方依恋、娱乐参与和保护承诺对环境负责任的行为产生了严重影响。在这种行为模型中，保护承诺同时并部分地调节了地方依恋与环境负责行为之间以及娱乐参与与环境负责行为之间的关系。得出了一系列管理影响，包括需要通过游客解释策略使用这些信息，更多地利用与当地社区和企业的合作伙伴关系来传播湿地和环保行为的重要性，以及需要与其他湿地合作分享最适合鼓励环保行为的游客动机类型。
This study examines a behavioral model using latent variables of place attachment, recreation involvement, conservation commitment and environmentally responsible behavior among tourists visiting wetlands. In total, 928 usable questionnaires were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were applied to the data by using LISREL 8.70 for Windows. Analytical results, which further elucidate the behavioral models of nature-based tourism, suggest that place attachment, recreation involvement and conservation commitment critically impact environmentally responsible behavior. In this behavioral model, conservation commitment simultaneously and partially mediates the relationships between place attachment and environmentally responsible behavior and between recreation involvement and environmentally responsible behavior. A series of management implications are drawn, including the need to use this information via a visitor interpretation strategy, greater use of partnerships with local communities and businesses to spread the importance of wetlands and of environmentally friendly behavior, and the need to work with other wetlands to share the type of visitor motivations best suited to encourage environmentally friendly behavior.
