建構登山健行者活動涉入與地方依戀影響模式

Constructing the effect model of hikers' activity involvement and place attachment

目的：本研究旨在建構登山健行者活動涉入對地方依戀的影響模式，根據活動涉入及地方依戀理論鋪陳，作為建構研究變項的基礎及驗證其因果模型。方法：本研究採問卷調查法，以臺中市大坑登山健行步道之登山健行者為研究對象，並於現地以便利取樣進行施測，共獲有效問卷475份，依研究目的及驗證假設之需以結構方程模式進行資料分析。結果：一、登山健行者活動涉入之中心性、自我表現對地方依賴及地方認同具有顯著正向的影響存在；二、登山健行者之地方依賴對地方認同具有顯著正向的影響存在；三、登山健行者活動涉入之吸引力對地方依賴及地方認同並沒有顯著影響存在；另外地方依賴在活動涉入對地方依戀的因果模型中為重要的中介變項。結論：登山健行活動為其生活的中心且扮演重要角色與地位，透過參與登山健行活動而表現自我，個人與某一地方在情感上的連結，是基於個人對地方的感情維繫所導致，因此活動涉入的程度會對地方依戀造成影響甚鉅。

Purpose: This research was to construct the effect model of hikers' activity involvement and place attachment. The variances were studied and the cause and effect model discovered was tested according to the method of activity involvement and place attachment. Methods: Questionnaire Survey was adopted as the research method and the questionnaires were collected randomly from the hikers on the trails in Da Ken, Taichung. A total of 475 valid questionnaires were collected. According to the research purposes and in order to test and verify the hypothesis, the Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. Results: The outcomes are as follows. First, there was remarkable positive influence over the centrality, self expression on the place dependence and identity of the hikers' activity involvement. Second, the place dependence possessed obvious effect over the place identity. Third, the attraction of the activity involvement did not have apparent effect on the place dependence and identity. In addition, the place dependence was an important intermediary variance in the cause and effect model of the activity-involvement-versus-place-attachment. Conclusions: Hiking has become the center of hikers' life and played an important role. Hikers have showed themselves through participation of the hiking activity. The connection to oneself and the feeling of the place was based on the attachment of the place. Therefore the level of the activity involvement contained a great impact on the place attachment.
