探討登山者遊憩專門化、遊憩環境契合度與場所依戀關係之研究

Relationship between Hiker Specialization and Recreationist-Environment Fit and Place Attachment

臺灣地理環境資源豐富造就許多值得挑戰之山岳，登山健行者於前往攀登時須評估自身能力與山岳相符程度。同時，不同場所對於遊憩專門化程度不同者亦可能產生不同之認同感及依賴感。本研究旨於探討不同個人屬性之玉山主峰登山者對登山者遊憩專門化、遊憩環境契合度與場所依戀之差異，並探討三者之關係。研究方法使用結構方程式，並以網路及紙本問卷同時調查，共得有效問卷407份，後進行路徑分析；結果顯示：（1）登山者遊憩專門化程度對其遊憩環境契合度具顯著影響；（2）登山者遊憩專門化程度對其場所依戀具顯著影響；（3）遊憩環境契合度對其場所依戀具顯著影響。並且根據本研究結果發現遊憩環境契合度對於登山者遊憩專門化與場所依戀之關係具中介影響。

Taiwan's rich geographical and environmental features offer challenging terrains for hikers. However, mountain hikers must assess the compatibility of their hiking skills with such terrains. Diverse features warrant different specialization levels. Thus, this study aims to explore recreation specialization, recreationist-environment fit, and place attachment, as well as the relationship among the three aspects. Participants include hikers climbing one of Yushan's main peaks. The research applies structural equation modeling and both online and offline questionnaires. Data from 407 valid questionnaires and the findings of a path analysis highlight the following. The degree of recreation specialization significantly impacts recreationist-environment fit. Hikers' recreation specialization significantly affects place attachment. Recreationist-environment fit significantly influences place attachment. In sum, recreationist-environment fit has a mediating effect on recreation specialization and place attachment.
