Abstract

A survey of the western shores of False Bay, Cape Peninsula, South Africa (34°5′S, 18°26′W–34°9′S, 18°29′W) was undertaken to determine patterns and intensities of human utilization over a one-year period. This was done as part of a programme to monitor the impact of proclaiming three small marine reserves (created in March 1986) along this intensively utilized stretch of coastline. Only 6% (48 000) of all visitors to the shore were exploiters, i.e. anglers and bait gatherers. The greater proportion of visitors (779 640) engaged in non-exploitative recreational activities, concentrated on sandy beaches. Mean daily shore attendances peaked between 12.00 and 16.00 h. Numbers of visitors during ‘out-of-season’ periods peaked over weekends, with Saturdays being more popular than Sundays. Wednesdays were found to have unexpectedly high attendances. Maximum overall beach attendances occurred during the peak holiday season (the Christmas holidays); but over this period, weekday attendances exceeded those over weekends. Factors influencing the utilization patterns are discussed.

都市地区的海岸利用模式:南非开普半岛

对南非开普半岛福斯湾西岸(34°5′s, 18°26′w - 34°9′s, 18°29′w)进行了为期一年的调查，以确定人类利用的模式和强度。这项工作是监测在这段密集利用的海岸线上宣布三个小型海洋保护区(1986年3月设立)的影响的方案的一部分。只有6%(48 000)的上岸游客是剥削者，即垂钓者和捕饵者。较大比例的游客(779640)从事非剥削性娱乐活动，主要集中在沙滩上。平均每日上岸人数在中午十二时至下午六时之间达到高峰。淡季期间的游客人数在周末达到高峰，星期六比星期日更受欢迎。周三的出勤率出乎意料地高。整体泳滩上座率最高的时段是假日旺季(圣诞节假期);但在此期间，工作日的上座率超过了周末。讨论了影响利用模式的因素。
