A Study On The Recreational Preference Of Different Types Of Urban Parks Based On Visitors’ Status And Trip Frequency

As one of the largest and most widely distributed urban green spaces,urban parks have many functions such as recreation,beautifying cities,promoting culture,and preventing earthquakes and disasters.It is an important window for displaying urban images.In particular,the implementation of the “small holiday” system in recent years has made it possible for urban parks to attract neighboring tourists as a green brand of the urban and promote the development of urban tourism.In recent years,urban parks have developed rapidly.However,the problems of weak pertinence design and lack of consideration of user needs have become increasingly prominent.At present,research on urban parks at home and abroad focuses on the development of origin,landscape design,and management publicity.The focus is mainly on the urban park itself,ignoring the relationship between urban parks and park users,and the differences in demand and leisure preferences between different groups.Therefore,based on the preference of urban park users,this study divided the travel frequency of park recreation into three types: first timers,repeaters and frequenters;the identity of park visitors was divided into residents and foreigners.Select 10 urban parks within the urban area of Hefei as the research object,and grasp the basic conditions such as location,type,area,and construction time of the urban park through site reconnaissance.A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the recreational experience of urban park surfers.At the same time,research methods for statistics,economics,ecology,and environmental psychology were introduced to analyze the preferences of different types of groups.In order to understand the different needs of various recreational communities in urban parks,provide theoretical support for more targeted building and management of urban green open space.Research indicates:(1)Construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban park recreation experience with 13 factors including the “contribution of the urban”,“plant landscape” and“recreation experience” as the guideline,cultural expression,interest,biodiversity,etc.as indicators.On this basis,the “destination satisfaction”,that is,the three factors of the impressions left on the tour,the views of the urban park and the satisfaction of the tourism experience are used as indicators for the recreation experience,The evaluation of recreation experience and destination satisfaction of urban parks by different recreational groups is used as a latent variable in this survey.Different groups’ evaluations of the potential variables “contribution of the urban”,“plant landscape” and “tourism experience”were 3.89,3.71,4.06(out of 5 points),among them,the rating of “tourism experience”was the highest,and the rating of “plant landscape” was the lowest;the rating for the potential variable “destination satisfaction” was 4.19(out of 5 points).(2)Different groups in urban parks show diversity in gender,age,education level,occupational category,income level,identity type,and travel frequency.The overall number of women is more than men,and the number of older people is higher than that of young people.The number of residents is more than that of foreign tourists.There are more repeaters and frequenters than the first timers.The distribution of education,occupation,and income levels is more evenly distributed.(3)Using SPSS covariance analysis to analyze the correlation between respondents’ demographics and travel characteristics with recreational preferences.The results show that respondents’ sex,age,educational background,occupation,income,identity type,and travel frequency are all significantly related to their preferences for recreation.(4)Using LISREL to construct a structural equation model,there is a positive correlation between “contribution to the urban” and “recreation experience” and“destination satisfaction”.There is a positive correlation between “recreation experience”and “destination satisfaction”.There is no significant positive correlation between“recreation experience” and “destination satisfaction”.(5)The effect decomposition of the structural equation model is performed.The analysis results show that the preferences of different types of groups are different.The specific manifestations are as follows: 1)When the identity types are divided,“appreciable”,“attraction” and “emotional satisfaction”(“recreation experience”)has the highest degree of influence on the leisure experience of foreigners(comprehensive effect 0.34),and the most influential factor is “attraction”(factor load 0.85);“Cultural expression”,“interest”,“biodiversity”,“ecological expression” and “urban image”(ie“contribution to the urban”)have the highest impact on local residents(direct effect 0.28,overall effect 0.36),The biggest influence factor is “interest”(factor load 0.84).2)When dividing by trip frequency,“cultural expression”,“interest”,“biodiversity”,“ecological expression”,and “urban image”(ie.“contribution to the urban”)has the highest degree of influence on the leisure experience of the first timers,repeaters,and frequenters(M3:direct effect 0.31,total effect 0.39;M4: direct effect 0.29,total effect 0.37;M5: direct effect 0.24,total effect 0.29),The most important factor affecting the first timers was“biodiversity”(factor load of 0.86),and the most important factors affecting repeaters were“interest” and “urban image”(factor load of were 0.84).The most important factors for frequenters were “interest” and “ecological expression”(factor load of 0.82).3)Aftermany timers to visit,“interest” has a significant impact on leisure experience.
