Abstract

In the Netherlands, with its coastal lowlands, coastal management is performed through sand nourishment and dune utilisation. While policy aims for multifunctionality, coastal management studies predominantly emphasise flood safety, neglecting the recreational function and its interplay with flood safety measures. This study aims to investigate beach visitors' views and behaviour at two reinforced sandy shores in the Netherlands, namely Sand Motor and Hondsbossche Dunes. As the magnitude of the sand-based reinforcements completely changed the original beach landscape, we refer to these as sandy anthropogenic shores (SAS). We conducted surveys to assess SAS visitors' profiles, attitudes (visit motivations, landscape attractiveness), and recreational behaviour (facility preferences, activities, visitation patterns, spatial distribution). We examined differences between SAS and non-SAS beach visitors and compared their perspectives with management expectations. In our analysis, we categorised visitors into three types: local, one-day, and overnight visitors. Our analysis identified three distinct visitor motivation clusters: socialising, relaxation while appreciating beach landscapes, and engaging in sports activities. Natural landscape quality and quietness were the top attractions for SAS visitors. Despite significant human intervention in the design and alteration of the SAS landscape, visitors still appreciate its natural dynamics and beauty. Our analysis indicates that users perceive the SAS as either natural or semi-natural beaches, as intended by their designers and managers. We also developed a conceptual framework of the SAS recreation model based on survey data, forming the foundation for a quantitative model of SAS socio-environmental dynamics in the next phase of our research. Moreover, considering the similarities between SAS and natural shores, we anticipate that our findings will have broad applicability well beyond the specific SAS we have studied.
平衡娱乐与防洪安全,促进沿海综合管理:了解沙滩游客在人为沙质海岸的态度和行为类型
荷兰拥有沿海低地,其海岸管理是通过固沙和沙丘利用来实现的。虽然政策旨在实现多功能性,但海岸管理研究主要强调防洪安全,忽视了休闲功能及其与防洪安全措施的相互作用。本研究旨在调查游客对荷兰两个加固沙岸(即 Sand Motor 和 Hondsbossche Dunes)的看法和行为。由于沙基加固的规模完全改变了海滩的原始景观,我们将这两个海滩称为人为沙质海岸(SAS)。我们对 SAS 的游客概况、态度(游览动机、景观吸引力)和娱乐行为(设施偏好、活动、游览模式、空间分布)进行了调查评估。我们研究了 SAS 与非 SAS 海滩游客之间的差异,并将他们的观点与管理预期进行了比较。在分析中,我们将游客分为三类:本地游客、一日游游客和过夜游客。我们在分析中发现了三种不同的游客动机:社交、在欣赏海滩景观的同时放松身心以及参与体育活动。自然景观的质量和安静是吸引 SAS 游客的首要因素。尽管人类对 SAS 景观的设计和改变进行了大量干预,但游客仍然欣赏其自然动态和美景。我们的分析表明,用户将 SAS 视为自然或半自然海滩,正如其设计者和管理者所希望的那样。我们还根据调查数据建立了 SAS 娱乐模式的概念框架,为下一阶段研究 SAS 社会环境动态的定量模型奠定了基础。此外,考虑到 SAS 与自然海岸之间的相似性,我们预计我们的研究结果将具有广泛的适用性,远远超出我们所研究的特定 SAS。

期刊介绍: Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
