摘要

山区保护区管理的主要问题之一是游客大量涌入所引发的垃圾处理问题。提供垃圾桶等现场垃圾收集设施可以鼓励游客停止乱扔垃圾。然而,提供此类设施会带来后勤方面的挑战,尤其是在海拔较高的目的地,因为收集成本高昂,而且由于景点管理者和游客之间在观念和社会规范方面存在差距,也会带来道德方面的问题。本研究利用 2023 年夏季进行的一项调查,研究影响登山者遵守与垃圾处理规范相关的 "不留下痕迹"(LNT)守则第三条原则的预测因素。调查采用了独立样本 t 检验和多元方差分析(MANOVA),以确定 353 名受访者对垃圾桶偏好的差异。结果显示,描述性规范(登山习惯和先前的认识)和群体认同(国籍)是登山者遵守规定的重要预测因素。研究结果表明,日本人、外籍人士和入境登山者对 LNT 的认知存在差距,国内游客倾向于因日本的社会规范而容忍垃圾桶的缺乏,而国际游客则相反。此外,研究结果还显示了定期登山习惯与遵守 LNT 之间的关系,经验更丰富的徒步旅行者和登山者对 LNT 的认识和遵守程度更高。这些研究结果将有助于提高 LNT 的参与度,帮助景点管理者建立有效的沟通,并推广可能的替代方案(如环境教育干预),作为富士山和其他山地前沿国家整体废物管理策略的一部分。 管理启示受后伏天性自然旅游需求反弹的影响,大量游客的涌入使许多山地旅游景点被额外的垃圾淹没。随着保护区越来越多地使用 "不留下痕迹"(LNT)等公众教育推广计划来减少游客与垃圾相关的规范,这项研究对保护区管理者具有启示意义:-鼓励所有登山者参与 LNT 实践,在抵达前提供基本信息以及现场帮助收集垃圾的设备(如垃圾袋)。开展教育项目,提高人们的意识,将 LNT 规范贯穿于景点管理计划中,并在不同文化规范中传播 LNT 理念。

Which Mount Fuji climbers want trash cans? Predicting awareness of the ‘Leave No Trace’ third principle

One of the major concerns for mountainous Protected Area management is the disposal of trash triggered by the influx of visitors. Providing on-site waste collection facilities, such as trash cans, could encourage visitors to stop littering. However, providing such facilities poses logistical challenges especially in altitude destinations due to the collection costs and ethical concerns due to gaps in perception and social norms between site managers and visitors. This study uses a survey conducted in summer 2023 to examine the predictors that influence climbers' compliance with the third principle of the ‘Leave no Trace’ (LNT) code connected to trash disposal norms. Independent sample t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to delineate differences in preferences for trash cans amongst the 353 respondents. Results revealed descriptive norms (climbing habits and prior awareness) and group identity (nationality) as significant predictors of climbers' compliance. Findings indicated a gap in LNT perception between Japanese, expat and inbound climbers, with domestic visitors tending to tolerate the lack of trash cans due to Japanese social norms, whereas international visitors indicated otherwise. Moreover, findings also showed a relationship between regular climbing habits and LNT compliance, with more experienced hikers and climbers manifesting higher awareness and compliance with LNT. The findings will facilitate improved LNT engagement, helping site managers to establish effective communication and promote possible alternatives (e.g. environmental education interventions) as part of a holistic waste management strategy at Mount Fuji and other mountainous frontcountry settings.

Management implications

Driven by the post-covid rebound in nature-based tourism demand, visitor influxes have inundated many mountainous destinations with additional trash. As Protected Areas increasingly use public education outreach programs such as ‘Leave no Trace’ (LNT) to mitigate visitors' trash-related norms, this study has implications for site managers:

  • Encouraging all climbers to engage in LNT practices by providing basic information prior to arrival along with on-site equipment to help collect litter (e.g. trash bags).

  • Actively targeting frontcountry visitor segments with lower awareness of and compliance with LNT practices, such as less-experienced and international climbers.

  • Conducting educational programs that raise awareness, interweave LNT code throughout the site management plan and disseminate the LNT philosophy across cultural norms.

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.
