Research On Effect Of The Characteristics Of Forest Trails On Psychological Evaluation Feedback Of Visitors

2948 national forest parks were established in China at the end of 2013, which became important tourism destinations for tourism and recreation for the public. Forest environment has being preferred by the public where forest trails were corridors for visitors to enjoy natural and historic landscape, also were facilities to develop forest tourism, played important roles in communication, sightseeing and so on. Thus, forest trail not only provides a comfortable feeling for people, it also evokes specific fear of events or situations by certain environmental property for instance, getting lost, falling debris, and threatened by wild animal and plant.The article researched on influences of environmental property of forest trail on psychological evaluation responses as an example of Tianjiling Naitonal Forest Park. To understand influences of environmental information, perception, and situational concern on psychological evaluation in forest trails, openness, naturalness, complexity and mystery were chosen to be the measured variables which all have divided into high, middle and low degrees. The questionnaires were done by people through twelve color photos of the TianJiLing National Forest Park to be collected as stimuli. Through convenient sampling, the study obtained 100 valid samples.The finding showed that, by performing canonical analysis, the openness, visual access and locomotive access of environmental information had negative correlated with situational concerns (e.g., environmental safety concern, criminal threat, wildlife threat, and direction). Moreover, the results indicated that the high level of openness, complexity and mystery were positively correlated with preference, but negative correlations with danger. Both access of visual and locomotive had positive correlations with preference, but negative correlations with danger and fear. As the results implied, visual penetration is a key factor in the given scene, particularly the level of visual access between trees. Therefore, considerations need to be sufficiently adopted when planting design of forest trail and park in the future.
