近五年戶外遊憩研究之議題定位與趨勢——以引用之國際期刊來源分析

The Topic Orientation and Trends of International Outdoor Recreation Research Over Five Years: An Analysis of Cited Journals

近十年來來臺旅客與國民出國的人次都在逐年升高，並且在觀光比例上也有顯著成長，遊憩與觀光活動領域的重要性可說是不言而喻。為了解現在國際間戶外遊憩領域的發展趨勢，本研究以戶外遊憩研究期刊為初步分析對象，回顧其過去五年（2012－2017）所收錄文章之引用文獻，統計整理其曾經引用的國外文獻期刊，並再進一步分析七本主要期刊近兩年的發表趨勢。經本研究統整後發現目前在國際上最常見的研究範圍為旅遊行銷以及遊憩行為研究兩大方面，前者以如何刺激旅遊人次為主要議題，後者則以旅遊選擇和行為傾向為主，除此之外尚有偏好評價、環境影響、動機需求、網路平台、衝擊知覺、經驗認知、學術理論等幾種研究類別。 With the increasing numbers of inbound/outbound visitors, the fields of recreation and tourism are gaining in importance. To understand the trends in outdoor recreation research, the current study calculated the most cited international journals in the Journal of Outdoor Recreation Research over the past 5 years, and analyzed the research topics in the 7 most cited journals over the past 2 years. The findings indicated that the two most popular topics are tourism marketing and recreational behavior. Tourism marketing studies focused on promoting travelers, while the latter focused on the travel choices and behavioral tendencies. Other popular topics included: preference/evaluation, environment changes, motivation/need, Internet platforms/applications, environment impact and perception, environmental experience and cognition, and theoretical/ methodological issues. Detailed discussions and recommendations are provided in this study.
