Specialized and generalized non-material Nature's Contributions to People at Mount Kilimanjaro using Twitter posts.

This dataset was collected as part of the Kili-SES research unit, Subproject 2, Work Package 2, which focuses on understanding the elements of nature that support non-material contributions, such as aesthetic enjoyment, recreation, and spirituality. Using the NCP paradigm, non-material contributions of nature to people (NCP) were identified through an inductive approach, together with the entities of nature (EN) mentioned in Twitter posts. This dataset builds on https://doi. org/10.5281/zenodo.14217191 by including those specific EN (and human-made features) mentioned by tourists on their Twitter posts - in order to enable evaluation of NCP-EN associations. Overview: this dataset was collected in October 2021 using the R package academictwitteR with Twitter’s official Application Programming Interface keys (API; https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs). These are publicly available Tweets targeting Mount Kilimanjaro National Park (Tanzania) and its surroundings from 10 years (April 2011 to June 2021). Data were manually filtered and cleaned to preserve tourists' Tweets of their nature experiences at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. These final dataset contains 1255 entries, and each observation represents a Tweet that contains at least one non-material nature's contributions to people (non-material NCP) and one entity of nature mentioned by an individual.Please refer to the README document to understand the data structure of this dataset, and the corresponding codes to characterize each non-material NCP as either specialized or generalized. This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), Research Unit 5064: “The role of nature for human well-being in the Kilimanjaro Social-Ecological System (Kili-SES)” (Project Number 428658210).
