与其他自然空间相比，美国草坪得到了个人和家庭更多的照顾、时间和关注（罗宾斯2007）。鉴于人造草坪在美国随处可见，以及相关环境影响的重要性，越来越多的研究机构开始调查草坪护理行为或影响它们的因素。为了延续这一研究传统，这里报告的项目旨在了解新英格兰社区城市化中的草坪护理实践、态度和价值观，并阐明环境友好型草坪护理行为的相关关系。研究结果可用于为成功推广和教育的发展提供信息，以促进有意义的行为改变。结果表明，业主对环境问题和水质存在高度关注，并确定了参与替代草坪护理实践以保护水质的意愿相关的重要因素。
The American lawn receives more care, time, and attention from individuals and households than any other natural space (Robbins 2007). Given the ubiquity of turf grass across the American landscape and the importance of associated environmental impacts, a growing body of research exists that investigates lawn care behaviors or the factors that influence them. To extend that research tradition, the project reported here was designed to understand lawn care practices, attitudes, and values in urbanizing New England communities and to elucidate the correlates of environmentally friendly lawn care behavior. Findings can be used to inform the development of successful outreach and education to facilitate meaningful behavioral change. The results indicate that a high level of concern for environmental issues and water quality exists among homeowners, and identify important factors related to willingness to engage in alternative lawn care practices to protect water quality.
