摘要
旅游公司可以通过了解地质旅游目的地开发现象来实现可持续发展目标。尽管已有大量文献论述了地学旅游概念,但关注地学旅游目的地发展的研究却十分有限。本文开发了定量测量地学旅游目的地发展特征的量表,这是首个专注于可持续旅游的量表。本文共有来自不同国家的 476 名地质学家和地质旅游专家参与。他们是通过亚马逊 Mechanical Turk 找到的,他们的回答采用了证实性综合分析法进行分析。研究结果参考了由地质旅游服务、立法要求、体验式地质旅游以及科学、保护、审美和娱乐价值组成的四维量表。维度结构和量表有效性得到了地质旅游发展特征的支持。此外,本文还发现这些特征对地质旅游目的地的发展具有重要影响。研究结果为旅游企业提供了采用这一新量表来识别其目的地地质特征的机会。
Geotourism destination development: Scale development and validation
Tourism companies can attain sustainable development goals by comprehending the geotourism destination development phenomenon. Although extensive literature has dealt with the geotourism concept, limited studies have focused on geotourism destination development. This paper developed the quantitative measurement geotourism destination development characteristics scale, the first scale to concentrate on sustainable tourism. In this paper, a total of 476 geologists and geotourism experts from various nations participated. They were found using Amazon Mechanical Turk, and their responses were analyzed using confirmatory composite analysis. Findings refer to a four-dimensional scale consisting of geotourism services, legislative requirements, experiential geotourism, and scientific, preservation, aesthetic, and recreational values. The dimensional structure and scale validity were determined to be supported by geotourism development characteristics. Additionally, this paper discovered that these characteristics have significant effects on geotourism destination development. Findings provide tourist businesses with the chance to employ this new scale to identify their destinations’ geological features.
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.
