| Abstract: |
Ecosystem Services (ES) can contribute to several aspects of human well-being
(WB) that we understand as the subjective perception that individuals have of
their quality of life, depending on a set of factors. We compare the relative
weights of the WB factors resulting from ES (ES-based) and those that do not
depend on ES (non-ES-based), from an online survey (N = 1006) relating to ES
linked to fish-farming ponds in France. A summary variable, the "WB profile",
allows to identify individuals (38% of respondents) whose WB is strongly
linked to the presence of ES (the number of ES-based WB factors is greater
than the number of non-ES-based WB factors). The WB profile of these
individuals is analyzed with a binary logit model showing the preponderance of
variable accounting for perceptions and interactions with ecosystems
(attendance, relationship and attachment to nature, efforts to preserve the
environment). We observe a lower level of training and the existence of a
threshold effect on the relationship between life satisfaction and the
ES-dependent profile: this contribution only concerns people with a high life
satisfaction index. These results attest to the importance of
pro-environmental perceptions, emotions and behaviors for conservation
policies. |
