The current study investigated the differences between environmental volunteering program and natural experience program in natural benefits, place attachment and pro-environmental behaviours. Fifty-eight college students were recruited to participate in these two programs which were conducted in a highland farm. Comparing to those in natural experience program, the results indicated that participants in the environmental volunteering program perceived greater natural benefits, expressed a stronger place attachment to activity site, as well as reported a better human-nature relationship and improved pro-environmental behaviours. The findings of this study also presented how these measurements predict volunteers’ natural benefits and pro-environmental behaviours. Environmental volunteering is an environmental health strategy that could be incorporated into individuals’ health promotion. Suggestions for promoting environmental volunteering, and their implementations are proposed.

自然志愿服务:健康人与健康自然的双赢策略
目前的研究调查了环境志愿服务计划和自然体验计划在自然效益、地方依恋和亲环境行为方面的差异。招募了 58 名大学生参加这两个在高原农场进行的项目。与自然体验计划的参与者相比,结果表明,环境志愿服务计划的参与者感知到更大的自然效益,表达了对活动地点更强的地方依恋,并报告了更好的人与自然关系和改善的亲环境行为。这项研究的结果还介绍了这些测量如何预测志愿者的自然利益和亲环境行为。环境志愿服务是一种环境健康战略,可以纳入个人健康促进。提出了促进环境志愿服务的建议及其实施。
