Key Factors and Configuration Analysis of Improving Tourist Loyalty in Forest Park: Evidence from Yingde National Forest Park, South China

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(3), P. 463 - 463

Published: March 5, 2025

Tourist perceived value is an important antecedent to loyalty by enhancing satisfaction, revisiting intentions, and recommendations, thereby promoting sustainable development of forest parks. However, existing research has not sufficiently examined the configurations in relation increasing tourist specifically context parks, representing a notable gap literature that requires further investigation. To address this gap, both covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM) fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) models were conducted explore joint effects on identify pathways dimensions increase loyalty, based Value-Satisfaction-Loyalty Chain model. A total 404 valid questionnaires collected from 436 visitors Yingde National Forest Park southern China. Among respondents, 54.2% male, nearly 50% over 36 years old, 60% held university degree. The results indicate significantly influences with satisfaction playing crucial mediating role between loyalty. Notably, indirect effect mediated was found be greater than direct Five distinct identified for categorized into three models: economic value-driven model, functional epistemic dual-core driven emotional social Additionally, four which subsequently improves These grouped two modes: plus This study introduces innovative perspective relationship identifying key factors within five enhance satisfaction. Moreover, it extends application theory park context. findings provide valuable insights managers, guiding them through targeted revisit intentions ultimately supporting park’s development. influence individual items along identification optimal item combinations necessitates Furthermore, deeper exploration heterogeneity improving required.

Bridging Built Environment Attributes and Perceived City Images: Exploring Dual Influences on Resident Satisfaction in Revitalizing Post-Industrial Neighborhoods

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(17), P. 7272 - 7272

Published: Aug. 23, 2024

The deterioration of physical spaces and changes in the social environment have led to significant challenges low life satisfaction among residents post-industrial neighborhoods. While resident is closely linked built environment, attributes alone do not directly influence human feelings. perception processing urban environments, or city images, play a critical mediating role. Previous studies often explored impact either image space on separately, lacking an integrated approach. This study addresses this gap by examining interplay between subjective perceptions objective environmental attributes. Unlike previous that use whole neighborhood area for perception, our uses actual activity ranges represent living environment. Utilizing data from Shenyang, China, employing semantic segmentation technology multiple regression methods, we analyze how factors spatial indicators affect these perceptions. We integrate aspects rank their satisfaction. results demonstrate all significantly positively satisfaction, with overall impression area’s appearance having greatest (β = 0.362). Certain also For instance, traffic lights are negatively correlated greenery −0.079), while grass 0.626). Key affecting include pedestrian flow, open spaces, sky openness, green levels. provides essential insights planners policymakers, helping prioritize sustainable updates By guiding targeted revitalization strategies, research contributes improving quality advancing development.

A review of tools and techniques for audio-visual assessment of urbanscape

Deleted Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1(1)

Published: Nov. 26, 2024

Audio-visual characteristics of an urban environment significantly shape the individual experience. Researchers have employed various multidisciplinary approaches and tools to assess auditory visual elements, gaining insights into user preference, comfort, restorative capabilities different spaces. This review highlights these adopted for audio-visual assessment urbanscape. Additionally, it categorizes tangible intangible parameters utilized in evaluation environments. For audio assessment, researchers primarily three kinds experimental approaches: in-situ experiment, reproduced laboratory using manually collected data, experiment utilizing archives crowdsourced data. In-situ approach provides real-world experience but has limited control over variables. Laboratory experiments offer a controlled may not represent on-ground complexities. chosen impacts spatial extent study. The adoption computer vision techniques enhanced ability quantitatively intricate details both physical importance combining objective measurement along physiological subjective ratings holistically sensory perception environment.

The restorative effects of soundscapes on human physical and mental well-being are widely recognized, but their effectiveness is influenced by various factors, including external environments individual characteristics. Despite being a crucial element in environmental experience, the role behavior has been insufficiently studied. To address this research gap, we conducted survey five parks Fuzhou, China, using questionnaires to assess visitors’ evaluations soundscape characteristics, experiences, behavioral A total 419 valid responses were collected. Using these data, employed structural equation model conditional process analysis explore interaction between visitor experiences. results show that with pleasantness eventfulness promote static behaviors certain degree, while dynamic solely soundscapes. In which characteristics influence only mediating factor, accounting for 8% effect. Additionally, increased visit intensity enhances impact experiences weakening effect behavior. These findings provide strong support relevant design considerations.
