The environmentally responsible behavior of tourists has been one of the focal points in the field of sustainable tourism research in recent years. Taking Guangzhou City Park as an example, this study investigates the relationship between restorative perception, place attachment, and environmentally responsible behavior of urban park recreationists by constructing the theoretical framework of "cognition-emotion-behavior" of recreationalists via online questionnaire surveys and using the test method of structural equation mode. Studies have shown that: (1) When the restorative perception of the environment is compatible, malleable, and attractive, the recreationist will produce environmentally responsible behavior. Meanwhile, when the environment has a sense of distance and compatibility, it will promote the active environmentally responsible behavior of tourists; (2) the path of perceptual environmental compatibility in the restorative perception of recreationists being → place dependence→ place identity → environmentally responsible behavior has a positive impact on environmentally responsible behavior; (3) place attachment has a significant positive impact on environmentally responsible behavior. This paper suggests that urban park management governors should focus on improving the charm and attractiveness of parks, diversifying recreational activities, and creating emotional attachment places, so as to promote the development of urban parks and meet the diverse needs and experiences of park recreation.
近年来,游客对环境负责的行为一直是可持续旅游研究领域的重点之一。以广州市公园为例,本研究通过在线问卷调查构建休闲者“认知—情感—行为”的理论框架,并运用结构方程模型检验方法,探讨城市公园休闲者的恢复性感知、场所依恋与对环境负责行为之间的关系。研究表明:(1)当环境的恢复性感知具有兼容性、可塑性和吸引力时,休闲者会产生对环境负责的行为。同时,当环境具有距离感和兼容性时,会促进游客积极的对环境负责行为;(2)休闲者恢复性感知中的感知环境兼容性→场所依赖→场所认同→对环境负责行为这一路径对环境负责行为有正向影响;(3)场所依恋对环境负责行为有显著正向影响。本文建议城市公园管理者应注重提升公园的魅力和吸引力,丰富休闲活动,打造情感依恋场所,以促进城市公园发展,满足公园休闲者的多样需求和体验。
