Study On The Tourists’ Environmental Restoration Perception And Effect Of Forest Parks

Forest parks contain high psychological and physiological values,but due to difficulties in applying interdisciplinary technology and methods,as well as relatively weak theoretical foundations,related research results are limited.At present,there are many key issues in relevant research,such as weak applicability of scales,incomplete selection of monitoring indicators,insufficient continuity of indicator monitoring,and difficulty in controlling field experiments.This study investigated the environmental restoration effect of forest park tourists by using a homemade tourist environmental restoration perception scale(TERPS)and an internationally used positive affect and negative affect scale(PANAS),and studied the tourists’ environmental restoration effect of forest park by means of field experiments with the help of the research methods in environmental psychology,comprehensively analyzed the relationship between tourists’ environmental restoration sensation,environmental restoration cognition and environmental restoration evaluation,revealed the environmental restoration perceptual path of forest park tourists,and this study expands the theory of environmental perception and environmental restoration,and provides theoretical support for subsequent research.It also provides inspiration for the value excavation and multifunctional utilization of forest parks.The main findings are as follows:(1)The tourists’ environmental restoration perception path of forest park contains three main elements:tourists’ environmental restoration sensation,tourists’environmental restoration cognition and tourists’ environmental restoration evaluation.Tourists’ environmental restoration sensation significantly and positively influences environmental restoration evaluation,tourists’ environmental restoration sensation significantly and positively influences environmental restoration cognition,tourists’environmental restoration cognition significantly and positively influences environmental restoration evaluation,and tourists’ environmental restoration sensation significantly and positively influences environmental restoration evaluation through environmental restoration cognition.Tourists’ motivation has a significant moderating role in the relationship between tourists’ environmental restoration sensation and environmental restoration evaluation,and tourists’ motivation has a significant moderating role in the relationship between tourists’ environmental restoration sensation and environmental restoration evaluation.Tourist facility and service perception plays a significant moderating role in the relationship between tourists’environmental restoration sensation and environmental restoration perception,and tourist facility and service perception plays a significant moderating role in the relationship between tourists’ environmental restoration sensation and environmental restoration evaluation.(2)There are differences in the effect of demographic characteristics and visiting times on tourists’ environmental restoration perception of forest parks.Permanent residence had a significant effect on environmental restoration perception;age had a significant effect on environmental restoration perception and environmental restoration evaluation;education had a significant effect on environmental restoration evaluation;and annual income had a significant effect on environmental restoration evaluation.Place of permanent residence had a significant effect on natural attribute perception,compatibility,physical recovery and attention recovery;gender had a significant effect on natural form perception;age had a significant effect on compatibility,away,fascination,mental restoration,emotional restoration,social restoration,physical restoration and attention restoration;education had a significant effect on mental restoration,physical restoration and attention restoration;and annual income had a significant effect on physical restoration.Visiting times had a significant effect on tourists’ environmental restoration sensation,tourists’ environmental restoration cognition and tourists’ environmental restoration evaluation.Visiting times had a significant effect on natural attribute perception and natural form perception.Visiting times had a significant effect on compatibility and fascination.Visiting times had a significant effect on mental restoration,emotional restoration,social restoration,physical restoration,and attention restoration.(3)The tourists’ environmentally psychological restoration effect of forest parks was significant,and there were individual differences in the restoration effect.After entering the forest park,the subjects showed positively psychological responses.Including the rise of positive affects and the fall of negative affects,and the magnitude of the changes all reached a significant degree,indicating that the natural environment of the forest park has the effect of improving people’s affects.The subjects showed a high degree of agreement in environmental restoration sensation,environmental restoration cognition and environmental restoration evaluation,indicating a higher agreement with the psychological restoration effect of the natural environment in the forest park.Men scored higher than women on all dimensions of environmental restoration perception.Gender had a significant effect on psychological restoration.(4)The tourists’ environmentally physiological restoration effect of forest parks showed significance in some indicators,while it was not significant in some of them.After entering the forest park,some of the physiological indicators of the subjects showed a positive psychological response.The HR of the subjects increased after entering the forest park,but decreased significantly after leaving the forest park.The HRV,Pa and Pm of the subjects increased significantly after entering the forest park,while the BP and SpO2 of the subjects did not change significantly,indicating that the physiological restoration effect of the forest park differed in terms of indicators.(5)The tourists’ environmentally psychological restoration effect of forest parks can explain some of the reasons for the changes in the environmentally physiological restoration effect.NA could explain 7.1%change in HR;NA and PA jointly explain 11.4%and 7.4%of changes in HRV and Pm,respectively;PA can explain 4.5%of Pa change.Natural attribute sensation,natural form sensation and environmental restoration sensation can explain the change of Pm by 10.9%;Natural attribute sensation and environmental restoration sensation can explain the 5.0%change of Pa;Compatibility,distance,infatuation,and environmental restoration cognition can explain the 17.0%change of Pm;Compatibility,distance and environmental restoration cognition can explain 8.6%change of Pa;Compatibility,distance and environmental restoration cognition can explain the change of HRV by 10.8%;Distance can explain 3.7%change of HR;The mental restoration,emotional restoration,physical restoration and environmental restoration evaluation can explain 12.9%of the change of Pm;Emotional restoration and attention restoration can explain the change of 8.8%of the change of Pa;The psychological restoration,physical restoration and environmental restoration evaluation can explain the change of 6.1%of HRV;Emotional restoration and physical restoration can explain the change of HR by 7.1%.
