Applying the resilience principles for sustainable ecotourism development: A case study of the Nakdong Estuary, South Korea
The Causal Mechanisms of Environmentally Responsible Behaviors Using Value Orientations and Recreation Specialization
With human activities a major cause of environmental problems, there has been an increasing interest in understanding individuals’ environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). Numerous variables such as value orientations and recreation specialization are known to affect the process of fostering specific and general ERB. However, understanding underlying causal relationships is not easy due to the nature of causal inference using observational dat…
Comparing the Developmental Process of Consumptive Orientation Across Different Population Groups
Recreational fishing provokes conservation concerns given the growing recreational demands on fisheries resources in different countries. Despite the negative impact of recreational fishing on fishery resources, it can contribute to improving resource conditions if appropriate legal and management institutions and understanding anglers' attitudes and behaviors are successfully accomplished. The purpose of this study is to investigate how anglers …
Economic values of a public outreach and education program for aquatic invasive species prevention
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are often impossible to eradicate from an ecosystem once breeding populations are established and widely dispersed. After establishment, control programs become one of the only options available to managers. Agencies are using public outreach programs to increase public awareness and prevent new introductions. This study employed the contingent valuation method to quantify boaters’ willingness to pay (WTP) for publi…
Bridging the Conceptual Frameworks of Constraints Negotiation and Serious Leisure to Understand Leisure Benefit Realization
Constraints negotiation and serious leisure are two major conceptual frameworks that have developed independently to understand individuals’ leisure participation. Although discrete ideas, they are conceptually similar in light of the fact that they address individuals’ leisure pursuits to attain various desirable benefits. The most important connections between these two frameworks lie in their assertion of different challenges inherent in leisu…
How Do Recreationists Make Activity Substitution Decisions? A Case of Recreational Fishing
The substitution of other activities for recreational fishing is of particular interest to those interested in fishing participation patterns because when activity substitution occurs, an individual's participation in recreational fishing is reduced or discontinued. This article explores the relationship between commitment to fishing and willingness to substitute other activities for fishing using recreational fishers from Queensland, Australia. …
Applying the concept of site substitution to coastal tourism
Tourists are often willing to substitute an original site with another choice when the original site becomes unavailable or they are not satisfied with their experience. The concept of substitution has been developed and used to understand recreationists' site and activity choice behaviors but is still new in the tourism context. This study intends to understand what factors are important to explain coastal tourists' site substitution decisions a…
Recreationists’ Constraints Negotiation Process for Continual Leisure Engagement
Unlike prospective participants with desire for initial participation, current participants are likely to have different interest in habitual leisure engagement from participation itself. Accordingly, they may respond to the effects of leisure constraints differently in order to progress toward a higher level of leisure involvement. This study aims to construct a theoretical framework that demonstrates how diverse components of current participan…
Assessing the Role of Recreation Specialization in Fishing Site Substitution
Recreation specialization and site substitution are two distinct lines of research for understanding recreationists’ choices and behaviors. Although theoretically linked by a number of concepts, few studies have explored the predictive relationships from a developmental perspective. Using cross-sectional data from a statewide survey of Texas anglers, this article examined a model in which an angler's site substitution decision is a function of ex…
Applying the Theory of Recreation Specialization to Better Understand Recreationists’ Preferences for Value-Added Service Development
This study examined recreationists’ preferences for the development of value-added recreation products and services using the theory of recreation specialization. A choice modeling method was employed to evaluate the value-added products and services in the for-hire fishing boat industry. Data were collected through a mail survey using Florida saltwater fishing license holders as a study population. Study results indicated that anglers were inter…
The Influence of Extraversion on Leisure Constraints Negotiation Process: A Case of Korean People with Disabilities
Diverse behavioral and psychological elements in the leisure constraints negotiation process are known to be closely associated with each other. Among several psychological factors, personality traits tend to be more stable over time and more influential on an individual's behavior. Nevertheless previous studies that investigated the constraints negotiation process have paid little attention to the influence of the personality traits. Further, pe…
Predictive Linkages between Recreation Specialization and Place Attachment
The theory of recreation specialization indicates that as recreationists become more specialized into a recreation activity, they become more dependent on particular resources along a continuum of specialization. Previous empirical studies examining bivariate relationships have not provided a comprehensive understanding of the predictive linkages between recreation specialization and place attachment. This paper employed three sub-dimensions of r…
Exploring Progression along the Recreation Specialization Continuum Using a Latent Growth Approach
In recreation specialization the idea of progression largely has been relegated to an assumption. Fundamental questions about how leisure participants enter and progress through social subworlds remain. We examined panel data over a six-year period to look for evidence of progression among Texas anglers. Similar to previous studies, we were unable to detect forward movement along the specialization continuum. Results revealed strong individual di…
Assessing Recreationists' Economic Benefits and Their Transferability to Other Sites
Valuation efforts are important for policymakers to assess the effectiveness of recreation management programs and determine the optimal levels of public investment in provision of recreation opportunities. To avoid the problematic assumption that benefit estimates are equal across sites, benefit transfer is an effective tool to test the transferability of benefits to other sites. The objectives of this article are to examine benefit transfer as …
Exploring Level of Support for Management Restrictions Using a Self-Classification Measure of Recreation Specialization
A single-item composite self-classification measure of recreational specialization is used to examine preferences for increasingly restrictive marine protected area management scenarios. Whether the self-classification measure can accurately classify respondents as casual, active, and committed divers was examined. A questionnaire was sent to 646 scuba divers recruited for the study, and a 78% response rate was obtained. The categories accurately…
Comparison of Place Bonding Models in Recreation Resource Management
Conceptual studies of place bonding have often stopped short of verifying the relationship of scales/models to other relevant recreation behavior variables. The current paper addresses this concern by comparing three models (full, parsimonious, and partial models) of place bonding and their scale measurement to a dependent variable, experience use history (EUH), for degree of predictive validity. Results reveal that the full and parsimonious plac…
A Time Series Approach to Estimating the Economic Impacts of Exogenous Events on Recreational Fishing
A series of abrupt exogenous events, namely, harmful algal blooms occurred at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas in 2001 and 2003. We demonstrate a time-series approach for estimating the extent of local economic impact loss associated with these multiple events. A regional input–output model and time-series intervention analysis were used. Total economic output lost was estimated at $2.8 million from the first event and considerable declines in the nu…
The Economic Value of Scuba-Diving Use of Natural and Artificial Reef Habitats
Artificial reefs may attract and sustain fish populations, but whether they resemble natural reefs is open to conjecture. This article addresses the question of whether artificial reefs are functionally acceptable to scuba divers. Research objectives were (1) to identify the nonmarket value of recreational scuba diving in offshore marine waters and (2) to ascertain whether the willingness to pay for scuba diving varied between users of natural an…
Toward an Understanding of Racial and Ethnic Differences in Conservation Attitudes among Recreation Participants
With significant demographic changes in the United States, an understanding of racial and ethnic differences in conservation support is essential for successful resource management and protection. The purpose of this paper was to construct the causal framework of fostering recreationists' conservation attitudes using recreation specialization and identify how the developmental process differs by race and ethnicity. Results indicated strong suppor…
Using Recreation Specialization to Understand Conservation Support
Previous empirical research has not provided definitive support for an association between participation in outdoor recreation activities and conservation attitudes and behaviors. This paper explored the relationships that construct recreationists' conservation behaviors in the context of recreational fishing. Study objectives were to investigate relationships of recreation specialization and personal motivations and attitudes that mediate conser…
Managing Scuba Divers to Meet Ecological Goals for Coral Reef Conservation
Marine protected areas increasingly are challenged to maintain or increase tourism benefits while adequately protecting resources. Although carrying capacity strategies can be used to cope with use-related impacts, there is little understanding of divers themselves, their management preferences, and how preferences relate to conservation goals. By using a stated preference choice modeling approach, we investigated the choices divers make in selec…
Using Recreation Specialization to Understand Multi-Attribute Management PReferences
Recreation specialization group differences in support for multi-attribute management restrictions using a stated preference choice approach were tested. A fractional factorial design produced 80 choice sets of paired trip comparisons. A three dimensional recreation specialization model (i.e., behavior, skill and knowledge, and commitment) was used to segment groups. As expected, advanced anglers were less interested in relaxing the more restrict…
A Stated Preference Choice Approach to Understanding Angler Preferences for Management Options
This study investigated the choices anglers make between hypothetical fishing trips as defined by harvest regulations, fishing expectations, and trip costs and ranking the various management scenarios being considered. A fractional factorial design required generation of 80 choice sets. A conditional logit model was used to estimate the preference model. All estimated coefficients of attributes had expected signs except for the “retain more fish …
Effects of Acculturation, Leisure Benefits, and Leisure Constraints on Acculturative Stress And Self-esteem Among Korean Immigrants
In this study, we sought to assess the role that leisure benefits and constraints play in facilitating acculturation, allaying acculturative stress, and enhancing self-esteem among Korean-Americans. Data were collected from a sample of Koreans living primarily in large cities in the United States. Results provided partial support for the proposed theoretical model. As predicted, acculturation was negatively related to acculturative stress and pos…

Understanding Differences in Nonmarket Valuation by Angler Specialization Level
Using the concept of recreation specialization, we would expect willingness-to-pay (WTP) differences among participant sub-groups as an expression of increasing commitment to their activity. To expand understanding of predictable angler sub-group differences in economic valuation, a two-stage process was used to investigate WTP differences among heterogeneous sub-groups. Cluster analysis was used with a three dimensional specialization model. A z…
