Spatiotemporal changes and driving factors of alpine land cover in Tianshan world natural heritage sites.

Alpine natural heritage sites hold significant value due to their unique global resources. Studying land cover changes in these areas is crucial for maintaining and preserving multiple their values. This study takes Kalajun-Kuerdening, one of the components of Xinjiang Tianshan World Natural Heritage Site, as an example to analyze land cover changes and their driving factors in alpine heritage sites.

Time-series analysis of meteorological factors and emergency department visits due to dog/cat bites in Jinshan area, China.

Background: Meteorological factors play an important role in human health. Clarifying the occurrence of dog and cat bites (DCBs) under different meteorological conditions can provide key insights into the prevention of DCBs. Therefore, the objective of the study was to explore the relationship between meteorological factors and DCBs and to provide caution to avoid the incidents that may occur by DCBs.

The Mechanism and Mediating Effect of the "Perception-Emotion-Behaviour" Chain of Tourists at World Natural Heritage Sites-A Case Study from Bayanbulak, China.

The pro-environmental behaviour intentions (PEBIs) of tourists is a popular topic in tourism geography research. Visitors are important stakeholders in the development and conservation of World Natural Heritage sites (WNHs). Based on the perspective of the Mehrabian-Russell (M-R) theory, to advance our understanding of the transmission mechanism and mediation effect of the "perception-emotion-behaviour" chain of visitors at World Natural Heritage sites, we introduced two variables, namely heritage genes perception (HGP) and environmental knowledge perception (EKP), combined with place attachment (PA) and pro-environmental behaviour intentions (PEBIs), and scientifically constructed the conceptual model of the "EHPP model", consisting of EKP, HGP, PA and PEBIs.
