• How recreation involvement, place attachment and conservation commitment affect environmentally responsible behavior (2011, background): “Thus, the findings of this study could offer important insights for mangers of wetlands and wetland tourism (see Brown, Ham, & Hughes, 2010 , for an example of a practical project).”
• Understanding perceived environment quality in affecting tourists’ environmentally responsible behaviours: A broken windows theory perspective (2019, methodology): “The TPB has been successfully applied in determining human behaviours in a number of areas, including tourists’ environmentally responsible behaviours (Brown et al., 2010; Han, 2015; Han, Hsu, & Sheu, 2010; Powell & Ham, 2008; Wu et al., 2013).”

(2010), who found moral obligation (i.e. Personal Norms) to be crucial in determining willingness to engage in PEB.”
• A meta-analysis of the relationship between place attachment and pro-environmental behaviour (2021, background): “Previous research in tourism has shown that tourists are more likely to behave in environmentally friendly ways when these desired activities lead to beneficial experiences (Brown et al., 2010).”
• Personal norms and the adoption of pro-environmental binning behaviour in national parks: an integrated structural model approach (2020, background): “However, it has not been applied in the domain of binning behaviour, especially in a national park context, if any, the research on the subject has been mostly restricted to ‘picking up other people’s litter’ behaviour (Brown et al., 2010) which is different from binning behaviour in that ‘picking u”
• Measuring the impact of viewing wildlife: do positive intentions equate to long-term changes in conservation behaviour? (2013, background): “Examples include “bear-safe” food storage practices in national parks (Lackey & Ham, 2004 ), donations to conservation causes (Powell & Ham, 2008 ), tethering horses in national parks (Ham & Krumpe, 1996 ), picking up litter (Brown, Ham, & Hughes, 2010 ) and staying on trails (Beeton, Weiler, & ”
