"The effect of perceived crowding on satisfaction has been the most debated topic in the field of landscape recreation. Most studies indicate that recreational satisfaction decreases with an increase in perceived crowding. However, some researchers have highlighted positive effects of perceived crowding on satisfaction. The effect is fairly similar to renao, a word in Chinese used to denote a crowded, warm, and vibrant atmosphere. There is no vocabulary that perfectly describes renao in western culture. Consequently, discussions on the relationship between renao and satisfaction remain limited. Thus, this study examines if renao contributes to the positive effect of perceived crowding on satisfaction by conducting a visual analysis and survey. It designates night markets as renao scenes and national parks as non-renao scenes. The analysis is based on 15 photos of both scenes with different numbers of people. The varying numbers of people can stimulate participants’perceived crowding and thus, highlight the relationship among perceived crowding, renao, and satisfaction in two situations: general and renao recreational environments. The results show that the renao scene (night market) contributes to the positive effect of perceived crowding on satisfaction, while the non-renao scene (national park) leads to perceived crowding having a negative effect on satisfaction." |
