Abstract

Currently we know little about how visitors perceive invasive species, nor how this may vary across visitor cohorts. Previous research suggests that visitors to natural areas have a low awareness of the impact of invasive species. This note reports on a survey of domestic and international visitors (n = 231) in New Zealand, investigating their awareness of invasive wild conifers and attitudes toward their control. Awareness of the wild conifer problem was generally low, especially among international visitors. There were significant differences between domestic and international visitors, and among visitors of different nationalities for how wild conifers were perceived. International visitors, and particularly those from China or other Asian countries were more accepting of wild conifers in the landscape and less supportive of eradication. The findings have implications for management of invasive species, which requires the support of all stakeholders, including tourists, recreationists and their associated sectors.

只见树木不见(入侵)树木:游客对新西兰景观中外来野生针叶树的看法
目前,我们对游客如何看待入侵物种知之甚少,也不知道不同年龄段的游客对入侵物种的看法有何不同。以前的研究表明,自然保护区的游客对入侵物种的影响认识不足。本报告对新西兰的国内外游客(n = 231)进行了一项调查,调查了他们对野生针叶树入侵的认识以及对控制野生针叶树入侵的态度。游客对野生针叶树问题的认识普遍较低,尤其是国际游客。国内游客和国际游客之间,以及不同国籍的游客之间,对野生针叶树的认识存在明显差异。国际游客,尤其是来自中国或其他亚洲国家的游客,对景观中的野生针叶树的接受度更高,而对根除野生针叶树的支持度较低。研究结果对入侵物种的管理有一定的影响,这需要包括游客、休闲者及其相关部门在内的所有利益相关者的支持。

JORT is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal, articles may focus on any aspect of theory, method, or concept of outdoor recreation research, planning or management, and interdisciplinary work is especially welcome, and may be of a theoretical and/or a case study nature. Depending on the topic of investigation, articles may be positioned within one academic discipline, or draw from several disciplines in an integrative manner, with overarching relevance to social sciences and natural resources. JORT is international in scope and attracts scholars from all reaches of the world to facilitate the exchange of ideas.
