墾丁地區水肺潛水者之休閒動機與休閒阻礙

Leisure Motivations and Leisure Constraints of Scuba Divers at Kenting Area in Taiwan

本研究之目的有三，一是比較水肺潛水者之休閒動機，二是比較水肺潛水者之休閒阻礙情形，三是瞭解水肺潛水者休閒動機與休閒阻礙之相關程度，研究對象為前往墾丁參與水肺潛水者195位，研究方法採用問卷調查法，研究工具為「水肺潛水者之休閒動機與休閒阻礙量表」，資料分析方法為描述性統計、t考驗、單因子變異數分析等。研究結果指出：一、水肺潛水者之休閒動機情形，將會受到性別、教育程度之影響，但不會受到年齡、可支配金額等因素之影響。二、水肺潛水者之休閒阻礙情形，將會受到性別、教育程度等因素之影響，但不會受到年齡、可支配金額之影響。三、水肺潛水者之休閒動機與休閒阻礙呈現負相關。女性水肺潛水參與者是未來重要的潛在市場，建議應設計更適合女性潛水參與者之活動及課程，以吸引更多之女性參與者體驗潛水活動。

The purposes of this study were to compare scuba divers’ leisure motivations and leisure constraints, and to understand the correlations of them. The subjects were 195 participants who joined the Scuba Diving at Kenting Area in Taiwan. The research employed a questionnaire, and the instrument was the Scale of Leisure Motivation and Leisure Constraint (SLMLC) for Scuba Diving. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The results were as in the following: (a) The scuba divers’ leisure motivations were affected by gender and educational level, but not by age, or disposable income. (b) The scuba divers’ leisure constraints were affected by gender and educational level, but not by age or disposable income. (c) The scuba divers’ leisure motivation was negatively correlated with their leisure constraints. In summary, the female will be the main participants for scuba diving in the future. It is advised to design appropriate scuba diving activities or programs for females to attract them to experience those activities or programs.
