Abstract

Blue spaces are being increasingly linked to a public health agenda, as the presence of water increases perceived restorativeness. Much research has examined coastal nature experiences and sense of place in coastal areas specifically, but little research has attempted to compare sense of place across different types of natural environments. In this study, we used place meanings to investigate how people perceive, experience, and attach to coastal and inland natural environments, providing new insights into human-nature relations in coastal and inland environments in Denmark. The study uses a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative analysis of free-text responses from a national online PPGIS survey with statistical analysis of background information. Responses from 500 coastal and 500 inland nature visitors were analysed through an inductive coding process, which elicited one hundred different place meanings. These meanings were categorized according to Williams’ (2014) layers of tangible and intangible place meanings. The meaning layer distribution was similar between coastal and inland nature visits, just as the most frequent place meanings were similar across the environments (e.g., Nature, Nice, Forest, Walk). However, significant differences were found among some individual place meanings (e.g., Wild, Vacation, Healing and comfort were more frequent for coastal visits), suggesting special coastal place meanings that should be further explored in future research. The analysis of place meanings was supplemented by an analysis of relevant visit characteristics behind the 500 coastal and 500 inland visits, suggesting great attraction coupled to coastal places (e.g., longer travel distance).

比较沿海和内陆自然景观休闲游览的场所意义
蓝色空间越来越多地与公共健康议程联系在一起,因为水的存在增加了人们的恢复感。许多研究都专门考察了沿海地区的自然体验和场所感,但很少有研究尝试比较不同类型自然环境的场所感。在这项研究中,我们利用场所意义来调查人们如何感知、体验和依恋沿海和内陆自然环境,从而为丹麦沿海和内陆环境中的人与自然关系提供新的视角。本研究采用混合方法,将对全国性在线 PPGIS 调查中的自由文本回答的定性分析与背景信息的统计分析相结合。通过归纳编码过程对 500 名沿海和 500 名内陆自然游客的回复进行了分析,得出了 100 种不同的地点含义。这些意义根据 Williams(2014 年)的有形和无形场所意义层进行了分类。意义层的分布在沿海和内陆自然考察中相似,正如最常见的地点意义在不同环境中相似(如自然、尼斯、森林、散步)。然而,在一些个别地点含义中发现了明显的差异(例如,在沿海访问中,野生、度假、疗伤和舒适的出现频率更高),这表明沿海地点含义具有特殊性,应在今后的研究中进一步探讨。在对地点含义进行分析的同时,还对 500 个沿海地点和 500 个内陆地点背后的相关游览特征进行了分析,结果表明沿海地点具有巨大的吸引力(例如,较长的旅行距离)。

期刊介绍: Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism offers a dedicated outlet for research relevant to social sciences and natural resources. The journal publishes peer reviewed original research on all aspects of outdoor recreation planning and management, covering the entire spectrum of settings from wilderness to urban outdoor recreation opportunities. It also focuses on new products and findings in nature based tourism and park management. 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. As such, the journal enhances understanding of scientific knowledge, empirical results, and practitioners'' needs. Therefore in JORT each article is accompanied by an executive summary, written by the editors or authors, highlighting the planning and management relevant aspects of the article.
