The environmental perceptions of whitewater kayakers

Davis, Thomas Jason Clemson University 2003 해외박사(DDOD)

With the increasing popularity of high adventure recreation, the natural environment is often seen only as an ancillary component of the recreation experience by the media and some participants. Since most high adventure recreation takes place in the natural environment, with some types of recreation being dependent on the natural environment for successful participation, understanding what the recreation participant perceives during a recreation experience is important for resource managers. One such activity that has seen growth in participation recently is whitewater recreation with nearly 12 percent of the adult population having participated in some form of whitewater recreation. One segment of whitewater recreation, whitewater kayaking, was chosen for this study. During the spring of 2002, 550 whitewater kayakers were contacted through a purposeful sampling technique at the take-outs on four whitewater rivers in the Southeastern United States, to determine what they perceived during their recreation trip. Additionally, trip motivation, social group, experience use history variables as well as demographic variables were collected. Environmental perception was measured via a recall format with an affective component being attached to the generated list of items. It was hypothesized that participant motivation, experience use history, and social group influence the perceptual process during the recreation experience. A model was developed to determine the interrelationship between the constructs and structural equation modeling was used to test the model. Of the 60 hypothesized paths, support was found for 11 of them. The main predictor of environmental perception was experience use history, with trip motivations providing additional predictive power. More experienced kayakers perceived different things than did less experienced kayakers, and the rating of those items as to whether they added or detracted from the trip was different based on experience level. When the model was tested across rivers, the model acted consistently, although several of the paths were different based on rivers. Although the recall method of environmental perception produced a rich array of perceptions, little evidence could be found indicating that social group influenced what was perceived, but there was evidence that experience use history and motivation are useful in predicting recall of environmental perception. Knowledge of these antecedents to recollection of perception might provide insight into management strategies for resource managers. This information might enable managers to enhance the recreation experience of kayakers and other river users.

The major objectives of the study are : (1) to examine the leisure time and recreation activities of women-students at Jeonbug National University, and thereby(2) to suggest a strategic recommendation to the problems identified. Data for the study are obtained through questionaire with a rancomly selected sample of 199 university students on Jeonbug campus. In other to determine whether the family atmosphere(authoritarian or democratic) is independent of each of the selected variables, the chi-square tost is used. The level of significance chosen is five percent. The findings may briefly be summarized as follows : 1. Except for the four variables, i.e., the most accessible recreation activities, recreation expense, value of recreation activities, and evaluation of home recreation facilities ; none of the remaining variables are found to be signifant to family atomosphere. 2. Women's daily average leisure time amounts to 189.7 minutes, i.e., 13.2% of daily life time. Sightly more than 45% of the respondents spend more of other leisure time at home than at school, or other public or informal places. 3. As for the accessibility of the recreation activities, language-related activities dominate ( 34.7 % ) music or sports activities. However, in view of pleasure, music activities (32.7 % ) dominate language-related or sports activities. As much as 96.0 % of the respondents are satisfied with their recreation activities, and 95.0 % recongnizes the usefulness of the activities in their daily life. 4. Under the assumed ideal conditions of recreation acrivities, the activities of mountain climbing and camping ( 16.6%) precedes tennis, singing and playing musical instruments, painting and photography, and traveling. The major obstacles to the stucent's inability to enjoy these preferred recreation activities may be attributed to the lack of time (28.6%) shortage of leisure expense, and lack of required know ledge and skills, etc. 5. As much as 78.4% of the respondents are positive of the affectiveness of the recreation activities on their future social life. In conclusion, the study claims that women's recreation activities have nothing to do with their family atmosphere, that their activities are largely conducted in stactic fashion, and that there is a discernable trend of shift from static to dynamic recreation activities. The noticeable tendency seems to require that university education should take into consideration the strong desire of students who have more interests in active participation rather than in passive participation in the limited recreation activities. In addition, despite the keen awareness of the importance of recreation activities in later life, misunderstanding of the true nature of recreation, poor recreation facilities, and other negetive elements prevail in our society. A great affot will have to be made in order to previde better recreation activities environment for the neglected generation.

張炳鎬 청주교육대학교 2003 국내석사

본 연구는 초등학교 교사들의 교육 레크리에이션 인식, 활용 실태 및 효율적인 활용 방안을 알아보는데 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 충청북도에 소재하는 초등학교 교사 250명에게 설문조사를 실시한 후 4명의 연구참여자를 대상으로 심층 면담 및 서술적 조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집한 후 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초등학교 교사들은 대부분 레크리에이션을 '오락이나 기분전환 활동'으로 인식하였으며, 레크리에이션의 역할로는 '스트레스 해소'와 '일에 대한 능률의 향상'으로 보았다. 또한 남교사들이 여교사들보다 레크리에이션에 대해 더 강한 인식을 가지고 있으며, 여가 레크리에이션 활동에 있어서도 남교사들이 여교사들보다 더 적극적이었다. 대부분의 초등학교 교사들은 교육 목표를 달성하기 위하여 교육 레크리에이션이 필요하다고 인식하여 긍정적으로 생각하고 있으나, 교육레크리에이션에 대한 연수기회는 부족하였다. 일반 레크리에이션과 교육 레크리에이션의 차이는 '교육적 목적을 달성하기 위한 활용의 차이'로 보았다. 둘째, 레크리에이션 활용은 1시간의 단위 수업에서는 주로 도입단계였으나 필요한 때라면 수시로 활용하였다. 여교사들은 교과 수업시간과 특별활동, 재량활동에, 남교사들은 교과 수업시간, 현장학습과 수련활동에 많이 활용하였으며, 연간 주활용 시기는 연중 필요할 경우라면 언제든지 활용하지만 주로 학년초와 학기초였다. 교육 레크리에이션은 가끔 어느 정도 활용하며 주활용 놀이 자료는 '표현적인 놀이'였다. 효율적인 수업의 방법으로 격려와 관심, 칭찬과 질책, 교육 레크리에이션을 고루 활용하였으며, 동기유발 방법으로 젊은 교사들은 컴퓨터나 웹 자료를 즐겨 활용하고 중·장년 교사들은 특기나 취미에 따라 개인별로 각자 다르게 활용하였다. 셋째, 대부분 교사들은 교수법에 따라 아동들의 학습력은 차이가 있다고 보았으며, 교육 레크리에이션도 관계가 있다고 보았다. 교육 레크리에이션의 활용은 '반드시 필요하다'고 인식하며, 교육 레크리에이션이 학습분위기를 활성화시켜 학습 상승효과를 거둘 수 있으나 잘못 사용하면 오락적 분위기 가져가 시간 낭비의 요인이 된다고 하였다. 연수방법은 교육청 주최를 선호하였으며, 연수 강사로는 교육적 전문성과 레크리에이션의 다양한 기법을 알고 있는 현직 교사를 선호하였다. 교사들은 교육 레크리에이션에 대한 정보를 확실하게 파악하여 활용에서 오는 부정적인 요인을 철저하게 배제하여야 한다고 보았다. The research has been made to find out the cognition, application state, and effective practice plan of education recreation by elementary teachers. Thus, in order to accomplish the object of the study, 250 elementary teachers working in Chungchong province has been chosen to fill in a questionnaire. In addition, the needed materials through deep interviews and descriptive examinations were collected and analyzed with the help of 4 volunteers. The conclusions can be summarized as the following. First, most of the teachers generally thought of recreation as "kind of the activities for entertainment and diversion", and the role in recreation as "removal of stress" and "improvement an efficiency of work". And male teachers usually had stronger awareness of recreation than female teachers did, and Those also were more positive than these in recreation activities in their spare time. The majority of elementary teachers held the cognition that education recreation is necessary for an educational purpose and thought affirmatively of the role in recreation. Nevertheless most of them haven't got too much training experience. As a rule, elementary teachers regarded the difference of common recreation and education recreation as that of application to achieve an educational aim. Second, teachers mainly used it at the introduction in an hour of a unit class, though it could be engaged at any time, if necessary. Female teachers chiefly used it in an area of subject study, extracurricular activities, and discretionary activities while males did it more in a field of subject study, actual learning spot arid training activities. Also when it comes to the time of use, they said that the time recreation was most used of the year was at the beginning of the school year and the school term, though always used at any time if necessary. The materials of the play most applied were most of "expressive plays". As a method of effective teaching, elementary teachers brought encouragements and interests, praises and punishments and recreations equally into play. Also, as a way of motivation, young teachers made good use of computer or materials on the Internet, and mid-aged and senior teachers used as their talents and hobbies. Third, most of teachers thought that there should be a considerable difference in children's learning ability in proportion to their own teaching methods, and application of recreation had much to do with their abilities. To top it all, most teachers found that recreation must be necessary, and could make the atmosphere of learning active and encourage students to increase the need of learning. On the other hand, they told that it might cause the problem of a waste of time which. could disturb the gradual effect of learning. As a way of recreation training, they preferred the recreation most hosted by Office of Education. They also liked better incumbent teachers with various skills of recreation based on educational knowledge. In this viewpoint, they will have to have the sense of a goal, certainly recognize the information on educational recreation, use it with an education vision and throughly exclude negative factors coming from the application of it.

The influence of an inclusive outdoor recreation experience on families that have a child with a disability

Scholl, Kathleen Grace University of Minnesota 2002 해외박사(DDOD)

This study encompassed a series of interviews conducted with 24 families participating in an inclusive outdoor recreation program to identify the challenges families face in locating and participating in family recreational activities; the benefits from an outdoor recreation program specifically designed for families; and the programmatic supports that contributed to family participation. A pre- and post-survey was administered to identify changes in family cohesion, adaptability, satisfaction, strength, and barriers to family recreation. The interview data were analyzed using a constant comparative method to identify recurrent themes and categories of the recreational experiences of these families. Nonparametric and parametric statistical analyses were conducted on quantitative data. Predominate factors that limited family recreation experiences included: managing the disability, dealing with family dynamics, accessibility of the environment, parents supervising the social interactions of their children with disabilities, and few recreational professionals having a background in disability awareness and training. A training program before a multi-day camping trip allowed families to assess the appropriateness of the camping experience, anticipate support needs, as well as acquire basic camping skills, confidence, and reassurance that a prolonged outdoor environment was realistic. Parents referred to the program as making a noticeable difference in a sense of teamwork and cooperation within families especially upon return from the camping trip. Families commented on the enhanced sense of pride for participating in an activity that they had originally thought not possible, even though they perceived that “typical families” regularly experience these same outdoor recreation activities without difficulty. Recommendations of desired programmatic characteristics that can contribute to a successful outdoor recreation experience include suggestions on advertising the outdoor program, pre-trip support, and family support during a multi-day outdoor vacation. The survey results indicated that participation did not have a significant impact on the family system. Yet, the outdoor program did make a positive difference in satisfaction in family cohesion. There was a significant decrease in the perception of constraints to family recreation, with a decrease in four specific constraints: lack of energy, lack of common interest among family members; lack of recreation skill, and lack of social skills.

Effects of Outdoor Recreation on Wildlife in Protected Areas

Larson, Courtney Louise Colorado State University ProQuest Dissertations & 2019 해외박사(DDOD)

Biodiversity is undergoing dramatic declines worldwide. Protected areas are the primary strategy used to conserve biodiversity, but they are rarely completely free from threats that imperil ecological communities. The vast majority of protected areas are open to recreation and have a dual mission to conserve natural resources while providing access for outdoor recreation. Many protected areas receive high levels of recreational use, particularly those near large human populations. An increasing body of evidence shows that recreation can have negative effects on animals, but questions remain about the frequency, consistency, and magnitude of the effects of recreation.To address these knowledge gaps, I conducted a global meta-analysis of the effects of recreation on vertebrate richness and abundance. I reviewed and extracted data from 34 articles that compared vertebrate richness and abundance at sites with low and high levels of recreational use, and estimated that vertebrate richness and abundance are lower in association with higher levels of recreation in over two-thirds (70%) of cases. I observed a moderate negative group-level effect of recreation on bird and mammal abundance, but the group-level effect on fish and reptiles was not significant. Effects were stronger for carnivores and herbivores than for omnivores, and stronger for small-bodied birds and ground-nesting birds than larger and tree- and shrub-nesting birds. Terrestrial and non-motorized activities were associated with reduced vertebrate abundance, whereas aquatic and motorized activities were not.While categorical comparisons between low and high levels of use can help establish whether recreation effects exist, managers who must plan and regulate recreational use of protected areas need to understand the levels of human activity that trigger animal responses. I assessed shifts in mammal habitat use and relative activity over a broad gradient of human activity levels at 92 sampling points located in 14 nature reserves in San Diego County, California, USA. I used camera traps to measure both human and mammal use of reserves, and I modeled mammal habitat use (occupancy and detection probability) and relative activity rates (hours per day with detections) in association with daily counts of total human activity, pedestrians, and cyclists. Human activity was associated with declines in habitat use of several mammal species, particularly bobcats and mule deer, though the strength of these effects was less than the effects of covariates characterizing habitat, topography, and development. Although human activity may not often extirpate mammal species from urban habitat fragments, it can reduce habitat suitability. In particular, bobcat, gray fox, mule deer, and raccoon were less active in areas with higher levels of human activity.Recreation has negative consequences for many animal species, but its effects on reptiles are largely unknown. I evaluated the effects of non-motorized, non-consumptive recreation on reptiles within urban protected areas in a fragmented landscape in coastal southern California, USA. I surveyed for lizards and snakes, quantified human activity, and modeled species richness, community composition, and occupancy as a factor of human activity along with other variables known to affect reptile distributions. I observed a decline in species richness in association with human activity, which was driven primarily by a decrease in lizard richness. The proportion of specialist species was not affected by human activity. Human activity was associated with a decline in occupancy of the common side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana), a slight but uncertain decline in occupancy of the orange-throated whiptail (Aspidoscelis hyperythra) and no relationship with western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) occupancy. Our study demonstrates that human activity can reduce the ability of urban protected areas to conserve diverse reptile communities.My study demonstrates the importance of examining the effects of recreation across a wide gradient of human activity and across a broad suite of species to understand which species are sensitive to recreation, to what thresholds of disturbance they respond, and whether their response results in reduced activity, local extirpation, lower species richness, or a change in community composition. These results pose a challenge to natural resource management agencies who must balance recreation access with natural resource protection, and to conservation organizations that rely on outdoor recreation for public support and funding. I recommend that managers plan recreational access at a regional scale and include some areas that are closed to recreation to minimize trade-offs between recreation and species conservation.

여러나라 청소년들이 사용하고 있는 Recreation 음악의 조사 연구

심상숙 檀國大學校 敎育大學院 1991 국내석사

본 논문의 목적은 Recreation의 매체로써 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 음악에 대해 밀도있고 체계적으로 연구함으로써 청소년들의 인지발달과 조화로운 인격형성에 기여하고자 하는데 있다. 이 목표를 위하여 청소년들이 Recreation에서 사용하는 음악에 대해 각 나라와 비교·분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Recreation 음악은 싱어롱보다 율동 및 게임의 기초음악으로 각국 모두가 50% 이상을 사용하였다. 2. 미국·영국이 외국곡보다 국내곡의 사용이 많은데 비해 일본과 우리나라는 외국곡의 사용(63.4%, 58.4%)이 많았다. 3. 영국과 미국( 30%, 30% )에 비해서 일본( 10% )과 우리나라( 3.3% )의 국내민요 사용 비율이 낮았다. 4. 국내곡 중에서 일본 (45.4%), 미국 (40.9%), 영국 (42.8%)을 민요를 가장 많이 사용하였고 반면 우리나라는 유행가요(52%)를 가장 많이 사용하였다. 5. 일본과 우리나라는 자연·사랑·이별등 다양한 내용을 가사에 담고 있으며 특히 우리나라는 남녀간의 사랑을 다룬 노래가 21.7%나 되었다. 반면 미국과 영국은 자연, 신에 대한 감사와 찬양, 봉사 등을 내용으로 담고 있다. 6. Recreation 음악은 각 나라에서 비 창작곡을 훨씬 많이 사용하였다. 특히 우리나라는 창작곡을 3.3%밖에 사용치 않았다. 7. Recreation 음악에서는 각 나라 모두 장조의 노래, 4/4박자를 중심으로 한 홑박자, 간단한 1.2도막 형식, 빠른 노래를 사용하였다. 이에 다음과 같은 점이 개선되어야 함을 알게 되었다. 첫째, 다양한 생활의 패턴에서 자연발생적으로 생겨난 민요야말로 자기 표현의 최대의 도구임으로 Recreation 음악에 있어서 우리 정서에 맞는 민속곡을 엄밀히 선정·보급하여 Recreation음악으로 사용 할 수 있도록 적극 대처하여야 하겠으며 둘째, Recreation음악으로 유행가요나 외국곡을 사용하기보다는 청소년들의 조화로운 인격발달과 창조성 발달에 기여할 수 있는 적절한 Recreation음악이 창작 보급되어야 하겠고 셋째, 학교음악교육에 있어서 음악성만을 중시한 어려운 곡보다는 실생활이나 Recreation에 자발적으로 사용할 수 있는 보다 학생중심의 흥미있는 음악 수업이 되도록 하여 학교음악과 Recreation음악이 서로 연결될 수 있도록 하여야 하겠다. 또한 전문 음악인들의 Recreation 음악에 대한 관심과 참여를 높여야 할 뿐만아니라 Recreation 지도자도 음악적인 자질과 기본적인 소양을 갖춘 전문 음악지도자가 많이 양성되어야 하겠다. This thesis aims at the adolescent's development of perception and harmonious character building by making an in-depth and systematic study of music in its unique role as a recreation medium. By comparing and analyzing recreation music being used in some countries, the writer has reached following conclusions. 1. All of the nations surveyed used recreation music in more than 50% of cases as basic music for the rhythm and game rather than for ‘Sing Along’ 2. While in the U.S.A. and Great Britain home songs were dominant in Japan(63.4%) and Korea(58.4%) foreign songs were dominant. 3. As against 30% of Great Britain and 30% of the U.S.A. both Japan(10%) and Korea(3.3%) made less use of home folk songs 4. As far as home songs were concerned, the U.S.A. (40.9%), Great Britain(42.8%) and Japan(45.4%) made much use of folk songs, while Korea(8%) made the least use of them. 5. Most lyric lines of the Japanese and Korean songs dealt with a variety of themes such as nature, love, parting of the beloved. In Korea especially 21.7% of the songs were about the love between man and woman. On the other hand, those of the U.S.A. and Great Britain described nature, gratitude for and glorification of God, service for others, etc. 6. The nations surveyed made far more use of the traditional songs. Korea in especial made the least use of newly composed songs no more than 3.3% of recreation music. 7. As recreation music the nations surveyed used songs in a major key. simple time mainly consisting of four-four time, 1 or 2 part form songs in fast tempo. In consequence, the writer has learned that the following are to be taken into account. First, inasmuch as it is folk songs spontaneously born of a variety of life styles that is the greatest means of racial self-expression, we should first carefully select and popularize the folk songs especially suited to our racial sentiment so that will be regularly used recreation music. Second, instead of resorting to popular songs and foreign songs, composition and popularization of appropriate recreation music is desirable that will contribute to a harmonious character building and developing creativity of our adolescents. Third, in the school music education also an attempt is to be made to link school music to recreation music by giving more studentoriented music lessons which will be more easily utilized in the students' everyday life and their recreation. Therefore, less stress should be laid on the difficult music lessons where the musicality alone is made much of. Not only do professional musicians need to be more interested and take park in recreation music, but recreational leaders also are required to have some basic knowledge of music.

福祉레크리에이션의 導入과 活用方案에 관한 硏究

안영준 명지대학교 지방자치대학원 1999 국내석사

오늘날 현대인의 문제가 복합적인 것처럼 그들의 욕구 또한 매우 다차원적이라 할 수 있는데, 레크리에이션의 방법과 기술이 기존의 흥미위주에서 탈피하여 보다 체계적이고, 예방과 치료적인 차원에서 전문적이고 다양화되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 레크리에이션은 아동에서부터 노인에 이르기까지 모든 사람과 집단을 대상으로 하여 진행된다. 레크리에이션은 짧은 시간내에 장소와 대상, 예산 등에 구애 없이 다양하게 진행할 수 있으며 매우 역동적이다. 이러한 장점을 이용하여 개인의 자아실현은 물론 우리나라의 건전한 문화를 발전시켜야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 레크리에이션은 이해하기 위한 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 기본적인 개념과 하나의 서비스로 정착되어야 할 필요성과 그 당위성에 대한 준거를 제시하였다. 장애나 질환을 가진 사람에게 있어서의 레크리에이션은 그들의 생명과도 같은 것이며, 대부분의 국민들은 레크리에이션의 자립을 그 목표로 하고 있다. 이 모든 것은 하나의 방법으로서 중요성을 인정 받아야 한다. 하지만 현실적으로 레크리에이션에 비해 복지레크리에이션은 일반적으로 지원되고 있는 서비스는 아니다. 더욱이 레크리에이션 또는 여가기회를 제공할 수 있는 여건이 매우 제한적이라는 것이 우리의 현실이다. 복지레크리에이션에 필요한 학문적 연구와 시설은 우리 사회에 충분히 논의되어 있거나 갖추어 있지 않다고 판단된다. 그러나 한 예로서 치료레크리에이션의 이론, 기법 그리고 과정의 적용을 통한 많은 임상과 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 정부차원에서 수렴되어 제도적·정책적으로 논의되어질 때 활성화를 도모 할 수 있을 것이다. 이로 인해 도출되는 결과를 바탕으로 모든 국민에게 실질적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 복지국가 또는 문화국가를 지향하는 정부는 이에 대한 비전과 구체적 청사진을 제시할 필요가 있다. 이렇게 될 때 레크리에이션의 일반적 이념을 초월한 복지레크리에이션은 서비스를 필요로 하는 대한민국 국민 모두의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다. 지금까지의 레크리에이션 한계를 극복하여 모든 국민이 이용하고 손쉽게 서비스를 제공받을 수 있도록 적극적이고 가치있는 레크리에이션으로 새롭게 도약하여야 할 것이다. 또한 한국만의 특수성을 살려 사회복지발전에 기여할 수 있도록 재탄생하여야 할 것이다. 이 연구를 시작으로 우리나라의 레크리에이션이 "생활보장부터 보람있는 생활의 보장까지"라는 이념을 수립하여 본격적인 복지레크리에이션 연구에 일조가 되길 바란다. It can be said the desires of moderner people are not less multi-dimensional than their problems are complicated in these days, so the method and technique of recreation will have to shake itself from the exiting interest oriented to specialized and diversified in a more systematic, preventive and therapeutic level. Thus, recreation is proceeded to all people and groups ranging from children to the aged. Recreation can be proceeded very variously and very dynamically without regard to a place, a subject and budget within a short time. Using these merits, one should realize oneself and develop the sound culture of our country. This research presented a standard reference to need and justification for recreation to be established as a basic concept and a service based on theoretical ground for understanding. Recreation to those who have disorders or diseases is like their life, so most people aim at the independence of recreation. The importance of all these things should be recognized as one method. However, in reality, welfare recreation is not the generally supported service compared to recreation. In addition, it is our reality that the conditions to provide recreation or leisure opportunities are very limited. It is judged academical research and facilities necessary for welfare recreation are not fully discusses or equipped in our society. However, as one example, when many clinical researches are performed through the application of theory, technique and process of therapeutic recreation, converged on a governmental basis and discussed institutionally and politically, activation can be groped. Based on the results drawn out of these measures, the government pursuing for a welfare or a cultural country to provide substantial service for all people needs to present a vision and a concrete blue-print to them. It is thought such welfare recreation transcendental the general notions of recreation will do much to contribute to the improvement of the living standard of all Korean people needing service. Recreation should jump up to positive and valuable recreation that all people can easily get out of the limit of recreation and use and receive provided service. Also it should be re-born to contribute to the development of social welfare reviving the specifics of Korea. This research is hoped to be a help to that the recreation of our country would establish an ideology, "from the guarantee of living to that of rewarding living" and embark on the study of welfare recreation.
