Cultural attachment and pro-environmental behavior

Description

Community involvement in pro-environmental activities is crucial in tackling environmental challenges. Research shows that the extent and nature of attachment can have a significant impact on attitude and pro-environmental behavior. Much of the work in the area of attachment is focused on place attachment and environmental behavior. For example, place attachment has been discussed as one of the key determinants of pro-environmental behavior. While there exist plenty of studies that examine the impact of place attachment, previous research has not explored the impact of cultural attachment on environmental behavior. Individual behavior also depends on cultural context and the inclusion of cultural attachment is critical in understanding attitude and participation towards environmental behavior. Strikingly, very little research has been conducted on this specific topic and deserves particular attention. Using survey data from Kathmandu, Nepal, this study examines the impact of cultural attachment on attitude and proenvironmental behavior.
