Evaluation of Place Attachment, Satisfaction, and Responsible Environmental Behaviors of Visitors to a Constructed Wetland on Campus

摘要：

Constructed wetlands are one of the many popular eco-engineering products for wastewater treatment and environmental education. In this study, questionnaires were distributed to collect information regarding the place attachment, satisfaction, responsible environmental behavior, and behavioral intentions of individuals who had visited the constructed wetland in the campus of the National Taiwan Normal University. The results indicated that place attachment was positively correlated with satisfaction, responsible environmental behavior, and behavioral intentions. Additionally, satisfaction was positively correlated to responsible environmental behavior and behavioral intentions, and satisfaction adequately predicted responsible environmental behavior and behavioral intentions. Regarding constructed wetlands, other than maintaining ongoing environmental educational activities and developing constructed wetland educational programs to improve user place attachment, user satisfaction must be improved to benefit constructed wetlands on campus. The results suggested that place attachment could positively affect responsible environmental behavior and revisit intention. Improving place attachment may benefit constructed wetlands and promote responsible behavior towards the environment.
