Independent or Influential? Spatial-Temporal Features of Coordination Level between Urbanization Quality and Urbanization Scale in China and Its Driving Mechanism
The quality and scale of urbanization development are the two main aspects in China's current urbanization process. By measuring and analyzing the level differences in these two aspects, the healthy development of China's urbanization and urban-rural integration will be promoted. Based on the quality of urbanization and the scale of urbanization, this paper constructs an evaluation index system for urbanization coordination level. On this basis, …
How Can Cities Respond to Flood Disaster Risks under Multi-Scenario Simulation? A Case Study of Xiamen, China
Flood disasters often have serious impacts on cities. Disaster prevention and mitigation schemes for flood disasters must be based on risk assessment. We constructed an indicator system for flood disaster risk assessment from the aspects of hazard factors, sensitivity to the environment, disaster vulnerability, flood disaster prevention, and resilience. Then we add the precipitation factor as a scenario parameter to the assessment of flood disast…
Linking the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum with Travel Spending
This article presents results from a mapping and analysis of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) for West Virginia using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and GeoDa. Results show visitors' travel spending is significantly related to the urban class of the ROS spectrum, although this class only accounts for 3.3% of all ROS classes. It seems that the role of the urban class in generating travel spending had become less important in 201…

A Prospective Panel Study of Chinese-Canadian Immigrants’ Leisure Participation and Leisure Satisfaction
This longitudinal study examined Chinese immigrants' leisure participation and satisfaction. A model where participation predicted satisfaction indicated that: satisfaction at Time 1 affected satisfaction at Time 2, and satisfaction at Times 1 and 2 affected satisfaction at Time 3, while participation at Time 1 directly affected satisfaction at Time 2 and indirectly at Time 3. A model where satisfaction predicted participation indicated that: par…
Leisure Statisfaction and Acculturative Stress
The purpose of this study was to examine the causal relationship between leisure satisfaction and acculturative stress. Chinese immigrants to Canada were surveyed six months apart. Four kinds of acculturative stress (all at Time 2) were each hierarchically regressed on: age and gender, years in Canada, the corresponding stressor, and six types of leisure satisfaction (all at Time 1). Results indicated that: (a) social leisure satisfaction lessene…

The Role of Self-Construal as an Intervening Variable between Culture and Leisure Constraints
Building upon Walker, Jackson, and Deng's (2007) article on culture and constraints, this study explores how the self-construals of Canadian university students in Canada and Chinese students in Mainland China influence their perception of how intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural constraints affect starting a new leisure activity. English and simplified Chinese language questionnaires, distributed onsite, resulted in useable data from 227…
The New Environmental Paradigm and Nature-Based Tourism Motivation
This study examines the relationship between environmental attitudes as measured by the new environmental paradigm (NEP) and nature-based tourism (NBT) motivations based on data gathered from a national forest park in China. The results indicate that tourists' environmental attitudes are heterogeneous across all four tourism motivations. Specifically, those who are more supportive of limits to growth and who are more concerned about ecocrisis ten…
Leisure Attitudes
This study examines Mainland Chinese and Canadian's cognitive, affective, and behavioral leisure attitudes, and it compares these attitudes with those of Anglo-Canadians and Chinese in Canada (as reported in Deng, Walker, & Swinnerton; 2006). Data from 132 Mainland Chinese and 198 Canadians visiting, respectively, Tiantong Mountain National Forest Park and Elk Island National Park were obtained. Factor analysis of the Leisure Attitude Scale (Ragh…
Culture and Leisure Constraints
This study extends previous research on leisure constraints by developing a new, theory-based, inventory of intrapersonal leisure constraints items using the theory of planned behavior and self-determination theory as guiding frameworks, and then using the inventory to assess the cross-cultural validity of the hierarchical model of leisure constraints (Crawford, Jackson, & Godbey, 1991). These objectives are accomplished by comparing how percepti…
Chinese Acculturation Measurement
En 2001, les Chinois formaient la minorité visible la plus importante au Canada avec plus d'un million de personnes s'identifiant comme telles. La question se pose de plus en plus quant à savoir jusqu'où les Chinois et d'autres membres de groupes minoritaires peuvent s'ajuster et s'assimiler à la société majoritaire. Cependant, il n'existe pour le moment aucun instrument utilisable pour mesurer les niveaux d'acculturation des Chinois résidant au …
Ethnicity, Gender, and the Theory of Planned Behavior
This study uses the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain why some people play the lottery, and it examines how the TPB's variables and variable relationships differ due to ethnicity, or gender, or their interaction. A telephone interview conducted in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin resulted in data on the lottery play intentions of 208 Chinese/Canadians (97 males, 111 females) and 220 British/Canadians (112 males, 108 females). When inten…
A Comparison of Attitudes Toward Appropriate Use of National Parks Between Chinese in Canada and Anglo-Canadians
Understanding people's attitudes towards appropriate use within national parks is essential if the ecological integrity of these areas is to be ensured. However, appropriate use of national parks has rarely been examined cross-culturally. This paper examines the similarities and differences in attitudes toward appropriate use between Anglo-Canadians (N = 160) and Chinese in Canada (N = 178). Results suggest that: (a) the two groups share similar …
Whoa Versus Go!” A Rejoinder to Mannell and Caldwell
As the reader likely aware, the title of this rejoinder refers to Linda Caldwell's (2005) comment that our conceptualization of culture and self-construal (Walker, Deng, & Dieser, 2005) is far too complex to [be] whole-heartedly endorse [d] as the next defining moment of leisure research and and, therefore, that Whoa! must be exclaimed. Frankly, we agree with her assessment in many ways: our proposal complicated; the ideas that underlie it are no…
Culture, Self-Construal, and Leisure Theory and Practice
According to Markus and Kitayama (1991), although European North Americans are more likely to have independent self-construals (and therefore to value being unique, expressing one's inner attributes, etc.), people in or from Asia, Africa, and Southern Europe are more likely to have interdependent self-construals (and therefore to value belonging, maintaining harmony, etc.). The type of self-construal a person has affects his or her emotions, cogn…

Ethnicity, Acculturation, Self-Construal, and Motivations for Outdoor Recreation
Research on the leisure of racial and ethnic groups has recently been criticized for a variety of different reasons. In response to some of these concerns, this article examines the motivations of outdoor recreationists who identify themselves as being Chinese (n = 53); it compares their motivations with those of Euro-North Americans (n = 180) at the same time outdoor setting; and it does so using the construct of self-construal as an intervening…

How Can Cities Respond to Flood Disaster Risks under Multi-Scenario Simulation? A Case Study of Xiamen, China
Flood disasters often have serious impacts on cities. Disaster prevention and mitigation schemes for flood disasters must be based on risk assessment. We constructed an indicator system for flood disaster risk assessment from the aspects of hazard factors, sensitivity to the environment, disaster vulnerability, flood disaster prevention, and resilience.
