One of the key factors to successful OAAs is the outdoor leader and the leadership they provide. Currently, leadership in (OAAs) does little to recognize the importance of the human environment relationship and how each participant in OAAs has a variety of different needs. In addition, these needs are not static, and a constantly changing external environment requires a resilient framework for incorporating this fluidity. The ecological perspective offers an alternative pathway for leaders which provides a framework for considering how individuals and the environment interact differently and allows the leader to draw on a range of interpersonal skills through a heightened awareness of participants. By acknowledging that every participant is unique, has their own constraints and abilities, and sees affordances in the environment differently, the outdoor leader can better perceive and provide opportunities for action within OAAs. Adopting an ecological perspective requires a change in our current understanding of how outdoor leaders are trained. By considering this, we can provide a leader with an ability to adopt alternative perspectives that will enable them to look at individuals, groups and the working environment differently, leading to the design and delivery of OAAs that are more satisfying for all participants.","PeriodicalId":106227,"journal":{"name":"Leisure activities in the outdoors: learning, developing and challenging","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132478647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research sought to tease out differences between walkers to develop a typology of walking tourists, and explore the range of associated motivations, the nature of people's walking behaviour and route choices, and their attitudes towards a range of elements related to walking and outdoor recreation. Most prominently this discussion will convey ideas on serious and casual walkers and the walks they choose, with links to the notions of serious and casual leisure proposed by Stebbins (1982).","PeriodicalId":106227,"journal":{"name":"Leisure activities in the outdoors: learning, developing and challenging","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132522197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are focused around the link between outdoor leisure and wellbeing. In addition, they are strongly linked to the dominant imagery of outdoor recreation as male and white dominated. Yet a second glance begins to show significant challenges to this being raised through all of these chapters. The second chapter, by Nick Davies, talks about the diversity of recreational walking preferences and experiences, and is situated within Stebbins's (2017) concept of serious leisure. In doing so, it recognizes the need to and value of seeing walking as broadly defined rather than constraining it to a macho imagery of the 'serious' (in a machismo sense rather than Stebbins' concept).","PeriodicalId":106227,"journal":{"name":"Leisure activities in the outdoors: learning, developing and challenging","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120982355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
