Thesis (Ph.D.)--North Carolina State University, 2017.

The concept of 'place' can be used to assess both the physical and socio-cultural impacts of climate change on nature-based tourism (NBT) communities. To this end, this dissertation addressed three research questions: (RQ1) what are the key physical attributes visitors ascribe meaning to in a NBT region?; (RQ2) how do place meanings influence visitors' behavioral and cognitive coping responses to changes in NBT environmental conditions?; and (RQ3) how do place meanings affect how visitors cope with climate-related impacts to their desired outdoor recreation pursuits? The context of the study was the North Shore region of Lake Superior in Minnesota (USA), an area known for high quality natural amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities. Qualitative data, photographs and captions describing a NBT destination, were thematically analyzed to address RQ1. An on-site, visitor intercept survey provided data to answer RQ2 and RQ3. Findings for RQ1 revealed the key physical attributes of the destination's image are the area's natural resources and built infrastructure, which provide opportunities for social bonding. Findings for RQ2 revealed place meanings are strong predictors of behavioral coping responses to past climate-related impacts; however, general climate change concern (rather than specific place-based meanings) was the dominant influence on cognitive responses (i.e., climate-related risk perceptions). Findings for RQ3 suggest visitors will engage in activity substitution, more so than temporal or spatial substitution, as the region's outdoor recreation settings change in response to a shifting climate. Collectively, this study refines the theoretical understanding of place, particularly in the context of NBT and managing for outdoor recreation benefits in the face of climate uncertainty. Practically, this study can (1) inform recreation providers' inventory, monitoring, management, and prioritization of recreation resources for climate adaptation planning, and (2) guide place-based marketing efforts to diversify tourism opportunities and foster strong place meanings among visitors.
