There are two major scarce resources for visitors: time and money. However, literature on tourism has paid less attention to the former than to the latter. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of time use in a destination as a segmentation criterion in tourism. The empirical analysis took place...

Previous research has suggested the existence of both observed and unobserved heterogeneity in time allocation modelling. Surprisingly few empirical studies have addressed this issue in leisure research. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to identify and describe the time use patterns of people at weekends. The sample consisted of 2118 indi...

Background: Most studies focused on measuring environmental attitudes consider a one-dimension measure of pro/anti-environmentalism, such as NEP scale. Nevertheless, more recent research has shown that it seems more adequate to use a multidimensional approach when assessing complex relations among people and the natural environment, particularly o...

In recent decades, a change of paradigm in flood risk management (FRM) has been taking place worldwide. The most current legislation and policies reflect this. This change of paradigm implies a gradual transition towards the adoption of more proactive, integrating strategies which require investment in nature-based solutions (NbS) to mitigate flood...

The polysemy of the term "nature" complicates the precise understanding of the image that individuals form of it. In this research we examine how people organize nature based on the degree of representativeness of its elements and to what extent this taxonomy is associated with individuals of different sociodemographic characteristics. For this pur...
