Abstract

The concepts of activity involvement(AI) and place attachment(PA) are useful for explaining the sustainable use of natural resources by humans. Although several studies have investigated the effects of AI and PA on environmental behaviors and found its implications, it has not examined the simultaneous effects of both AI and PA. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a typology of both AI and PA. This typology was used to explain the environmentally responsible behaviors of visitors. The study sample surveyed 587 users of the main trail in Namhansanseong Provincial Park The results were analyzed by frequency, reliability, factor analysis, cross-tabulation, T-test, correlation and ANOVA analysis. As a result, the typology identified four subgroups of hikers based on involvement in hiking and attachment to setting. Results also indicate that environmentally responsible behaviors do vary significantly across typology. In detail, general environmental behavior and specific environmental behavior were significantly different between the four groups. These finding suggests that PA seems to play a more powerful role than AI in relation to environmental behavior. While more involved and more attached hikers were more active in environmental behaviors, less involved and less attached hikers had a more passive attitude. In this respect, this study placed emphasis on the fact that the future resource management of tourism and outdoor recreation may be established based on its activity experience in certain place.

활동관여와 장소애착은 자원의 지속가능한 이용을 설명하는데 유용한 개념이다. 활동관여와 장소애착의 영향관계, 그리고 각 개념과 환경행동의 관계에 대한 연구는 선행되었으나, 두 개념을 결합하여 환경행동과의 관계를 살펴본 연구는 이루어진 바 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 남한산성 방문객을 대상으로 활동관여와 장소애착을 결합한 유형구분을 실시하고 유형별 환경책임행동에 대하여 고찰하였다. 남한산성의 주요 등산로에서 총 587부의 표본을 수집하였으며 빈도, 신뢰도, 요인, 교차, 평균비교분석, 상관분석과 일원분산분석을 실시하였다 그 결과, 활동관여-장소애착에 따라 고관여-고애착, 고관여-저애착, 저관여-저애착, 저관여-고애착의 4유형으로 분류되었고, 유형별 환경책임행동은 유의미한 차이를 가지고 있으며, 일반적 환경행동과 전문적 환경행동 모두에서 차이를 보였다. 또한 활동관여보다는 장소애착이 환경책임행동에 미치는 영향이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 등산에 대한 관여도가 높고 남한산성에 애착이 높은 방문객이 가장 적극적인 환경행동을 보인 반면 등산에 대한 관여도와 장소애착이 모두 낮은 방문객의 경우 소극적인 환경책임행동이 나타나 장소애착이 사람들의 친환경행동을 이끌어내므로 향후 관광 레크리에이션 자원 관리는 장소에서 일어나는 활동 경험을 기반으로 수립되어야 함을 강조하였다.
