Understanding how people's relationships with nature form, how they influence personal values and
attitudes, and what behavioural implications they may have could provide more insight into how
connectedness to nature (CNT) can effectively contribute to environmental management goals. This
paper undertakes a review of literature published over the past decade (2002e2011) on SCOPUS; and
describes the current state of knowledge regarding CNT, assesses any efforts towards the spatial mapping
of CNT for environmental management, and identifies measures of CNT defined in the broader literature.
This review suggests that there is quite some overlap in the literature on CNT concepts, and that more
effort needs to be made towards multi-disciplinary research which explores how CNT can be useful to
environmental planning and conservation research on the field. It also further corroborates the need and
relevance of applying more social and affective strategies to promote conservation behaviour. The main
progress in CNT theory seems to have been made in the development of measurement tools, and it is
clear that there is a strong convergent validity amongst the different measures due to their similarity, and
functional associations. Further efforts towards the exploration of multi-dimensional measures is recommended
since they consistently stand out as showing better results. The geographic visualisation of
CNT constructs is another area of research that deserves attention since it can provide a unique point of
view towards guiding participatory protected area planning and management.peer-reviewe
