| Notes | This article explores attachment to a specific area (place attachment) and specialized skills (recreation specialization) among whitewater boaters on four rivers. “Findings suggest that place attachment dimensions vary in river setting and specialization levels. Management should take into account that boaters exhibit different place attachment based on the specialization level and resource proximity to their home” (from the Abstract). This is an open-access article. |
