Spiritual tourism has become an emerging trend. While traditionally associated with pilgrimage, spiritual tourism now encompasses a broader spectrum of experiences, including visits to sacred sites by non-religious travelers pursuing experiences for calmness and tranquility. This study intentionally focuses on non-pilgrim tourists because they make up a substantial portion of visitors and represent a growing segment seeking spiritual enrichment outside formal religious practice. Conversely, recent studies reveal that soundscapes can significantly enhance tourism experience, highlighting the importance of auditory elements alongside visual stimuli in shaping tourist practices and experiences. This study explores the role of soundscapes in shaping non-pilgrims’ perception during their visits, specifically within the context of Sendangsono—a prominent spiritual destination in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Utilizing a soundwalk method and visitor questionnaires, the research examines how different sound elements were perceived by the respondents. The analysis expands on existing soundscape categories by distinguishing five sources: natural, animal, human, technological, and human activity. Findings reveal that natural sounds and human vocalizations associated with worship were perceived as pleasant and have higher satisfaction scores. While general human activity noises were often considered unpleasant, spiritually motivated human sounds were perceived positively. This suggests that such sounds are integral to, not separate from, the spiritual soundscape. Importantly, these positive perceptions also align with respondents’ expectations during their visit.

精神旅游已经成为一种新兴的趋势。虽然传统上与朝圣有关，但精神旅游现在涵盖了更广泛的体验，包括非宗教旅行者前往圣地寻求平静和安宁的体验。本研究有意将重点放在非朝圣游客身上，因为他们占游客的很大一部分，代表着在正式宗教活动之外寻求精神充实的一个日益增长的群体。相反，最近的研究表明，声景可以显著增强旅游体验，突出了听觉元素和视觉刺激在塑造旅游实践和体验方面的重要性。本研究探讨了声景在塑造非朝圣者访问期间的感知中的作用，特别是在印度尼西亚日惹的一个著名的精神目的地森登索诺的背景下。利用声走法和访客问卷调查，研究调查了受访者如何感知不同的声音元素。该分析通过区分自然、动物、人类、技术和人类活动这五种来源，扩展了现有的声景类别。研究结果显示，与崇拜有关的自然声音和人类发声被认为是令人愉快的，并且具有更高的满意度得分。虽然一般的人类活动噪音通常被认为是不愉快的，但精神激励的人类声音被认为是积极的。这表明这样的声音是不可分割的，而不是分离的，精神音景。重要的是，这些积极的看法也与受访者在访问期间的期望一致。

Our goal is building a shared vocabulary and language for the use about human behavior in avalanche terrain that can inform education, communication, and outreach efforts to enhance safety and save lives in the future. This issue, though a frequent subject of writing and discourse, has yet to be adequately defined. Insights from various fields, such as behavioral economics, social psychology, anthropology, and public health, shed light on why both professionals and recreationalists engage in practices that lead to avalanche accidents. However, the avalanche community has not yet coalesced around a cohesive and systematic framework for understanding, communicating, and addressing the human factor. As a result, ambiguity and diverse interpretations persist, leaving individuals and educators to interpret the science on their own, despite the profundity of the problem. Although models for understanding snow, weather, and terrain are well-established in the avalanche industry, and focus on the human factor has increased, a shared and agreed upon typology addressing the human factor is missing. To address this, we took a first step and initiated a qualitative research project aimed at identifying common themes among professionals regarding the human challenges in avalanche terrain. Based on the analysis of 14 expert interviews and transcribed recordings from an expert practitioner workshop, we developed a preliminary framework that we propose to the broader avalanche community. This paper outlines our research and presents not a conclusion, but a suggested typology designed advance the research and to stimulate discussion and debate within the community.

我们的目标是建立一个关于雪崩地形中人类行为的共享词汇和语言，可以为教育、交流和推广工作提供信息，以提高未来的安全性和拯救生命。这个问题虽然是写作和话语中经常出现的主题，但尚未得到充分的定义。来自不同领域的见解，如行为经济学、社会心理学、人类学和公共卫生，阐明了为什么专业人士和休闲人士都从事导致雪崩事故的实践。然而，雪崩社区尚未围绕一个有凝聚力和系统的框架来理解、沟通和解决人为因素。结果，模棱两可和不同的解释持续存在，让个人和教育工作者自己解释科学，尽管问题很深刻。虽然在雪崩行业中，理解雪、天气和地形的模型已经建立起来，并且对人为因素的关注也在增加，但解决人为因素的共同和一致的类型学却缺失。为了解决这个问题，我们迈出了第一步，启动了一个定性研究项目，旨在确定专业人士对雪崩地形中人类挑战的共同主题。基于对14位专家访谈的分析和专家从业者研讨会的转录记录，我们开发了一个初步框架，我们向更广泛的雪崩社区提出建议。本文概述了我们的研究，并没有给出结论，而是提出了一个建议的类型学，旨在推进研究并激发社区内的讨论和辩论。

Over the past decade, cultural tourism towns in China have generally faced issues like homogeneous spatial forms, monotonous functional formats, and blind investment. This study proposes the “Spatial Richness' theory based on Space Syntax, Urban Image, and Blue-Green Spaces theories. Distinct from “Spatial Diversity', the core of Spatial Richness lies in taking streets and alleys as carriers, constructing spatial frameworks via street nodes, activating functional dynamism through diverse business formats, and creating natural landscapes with green spaces and water bodies—thus three-dimensionally shaping visitors' five senses and tourism experiences. The study selected 12 cultural tourism towns with distinct sentiment profiles, applied sentiment analysis and K-means clustering to online reviews for sentiment classification, collected business type info in each town via Points of Interest (POIs) data, measured green/water area distribution, street-alley turning nodes, and main street intersections using satellite maps, determined indicator weights through factor analysis, and finally calculated each town's comprehensive spatial richness score via indicator-weight vector dot product. The study revealed indicator weight order: street-alley turning nodes (22.58 %) > street-alley green area (22.35 %) > main street-alley intersections (22.00 %) > street-alley-connected business diversity (19.42 %) > street-alley water area (13.65 %). Spatial richness shows a nonlinear positive correlation with tourists' positive sentiments. The 0–20,000 spatial richness score range is a high-efficiency investment zone, where priority goes to high-weight indicators like turning nodes, green area, and main intersections. This study breaks single-factor research limitations on cultural tourism towns, clarifies the “spatial supply-sentiment demand' quantitative match mechanism, and provides a theoretical basis for their sustainable development.

近十年来，中国文化旅游小镇普遍存在空间形态同质化、功能业态单一、投资盲目等问题。本研究在空间句法、城市意象、蓝绿空间理论的基础上提出了“空间丰富度”理论。与“空间多样性”不同，空间丰富性的核心在于以街道和小巷为载体，通过街道节点构建空间框架，通过多样化的业态激活功能活力，以绿地和水体创造自然景观，从而立体塑造游客的五感和旅游体验。本研究选取了12个具有鲜明情感特征的文化旅游小镇，将情感分析和K-means聚类技术应用于在线评论中进行情感分类，通过兴趣点（poi）数据收集每个小镇的商业类型信息，利用卫星地图测量绿地/水域分布、街道-小巷转弯节点和主要街道交叉口，通过因子分析确定指标权重。最后通过指标权重向量点积计算各城镇空间丰富度综合得分。研究得出指标权重顺序为：街-巷转弯节点（22.58%）>；街-巷绿地面积（22.35%）>；街-巷主要交叉口（22.00%）>；街-巷商业多样性（19.42%）>；街-巷水域面积（13.65%）。空间丰富度与游客积极情绪呈非线性正相关。0 ~ 20000的空间丰富度评分范围为高效投资区，优先考虑转向节点、绿化面积、主要交叉口等权重较高的指标。本研究突破了文化旅游小镇单一因素研究的局限，明确了“空间供给—情感—需求”的定量匹配机制，为文化旅游小镇的可持续发展提供了理论依据。

The unbalanced development of national parks and overtourism in some areas is becoming a major problem for nature-based destinations worldwide. Enhancing attractiveness is vital for promoting sustainable national park management and tourism development. Therefore, it is important to assess tourists' preferences regarding destination attractiveness. While many studies have investigated this aspect for specific destinations, limited information is available on the differences in foreign tourists' preferences for destination attractiveness attributes in national parks during the pre-visit stage. A questionnaire survey (n = 750) employing the best-worst scaling technique was used to compare and assess tourists' preferences for destination attractiveness. The survey evaluated preferences across ten attributes, as defined by the framework of Japan's “National Park Enjoyment Project” initiative. Foreign tourists prefer attributes that can be experienced at local destinations. We used the latent class model to group the respondents. This study is unique in that some of its respondents valued safety in tourism over other attributes such as local attractiveness. We also discussed the relationship between destination attribute preferences and sociodemographic variables, travel planning, and tourism information sources. This study provides theoretical insights into public preferences for sustainable nature-based tourism management and practical recommendations for tourism managers seeking effective management strategies.

国家公园的不平衡发展和一些地区的过度旅游正在成为世界范围内自然旅游目的地的主要问题。提高吸引力对于促进可持续的国家公园管理和旅游业发展至关重要。因此，评估游客对目的地吸引力的偏好是很重要的。虽然许多研究对特定目的地进行了这方面的调查，但关于外国游客在访问前阶段对国家公园目的地吸引力属性的偏好差异的信息有限。采用最佳-最差量表技术的问卷调查（n = 750）用于比较和评估游客对目的地吸引力的偏好。根据日本“国家公园享受项目”倡议的框架，该调查评估了人们对十个属性的偏好。外国游客更喜欢能在当地体验到的特点。我们使用潜在类别模型对受访者进行分组。这项研究的独特之处在于，一些受访者认为旅游安全比其他因素（如当地吸引力）更重要。我们还讨论了目的地属性偏好与社会人口变量、旅游规划和旅游信息源之间的关系。本研究为公众对可持续自然旅游管理的偏好提供了理论见解，并为旅游管理者寻求有效的管理策略提供了实践建议。

Desert tourism represents a growing form of special interest tourism. Based on its unique natural environment and cultural resources, tourists' memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) may change their attitudes and behaviours towards environmental responsibility. This study aimed to extend the MTEs to desert tourism and examine the relationship among memorable desert tourism experiences (MDTEs), positive emotions, satisfaction, and environmentally responsible behavioural (ERB) intention towards the destination. Focus group meetings refined the measurable items to reflect the MDTEs. A total of 466 desert tourists in the Kubuqi Desert of Inner Mongolia, China, participated in the survey. The analysis revealed that desert scenery, adventure entertainment, and residential interaction, as three dimensions of MDTEs, affect tourists' positive emotions and satisfaction, thereby generating tourists' ERB intention. The mediation tests showed that positive emotions partially mediated the effects of all three MDTE dimensions on tourists' ERB intention, whereas satisfaction only partially mediated the effect of desert scenery on tourists' ERB intention. Furthermore, the moderating role of visiting time was found for the path between adventure entertainment and positive emotions. This study highlighted the important pathway of positive emotions evoked from desert scenery to generate tourists’ environmental responsibility.

沙漠旅游代表了一种日益增长的特殊兴趣旅游形式。旅游者难忘的旅游体验基于其独特的自然环境和文化资源，可能改变其对环境责任的态度和行为。本研究旨在将难忘沙漠旅游体验扩展到沙漠旅游，并探讨难忘沙漠旅游体验、积极情绪、满意度和对目的地环境负责的行为意愿之间的关系。焦点小组会议改进了可衡量的项目，以反映mdte。在中国内蒙古库布其沙漠，共有466名沙漠游客参与了调查。分析发现，沙漠风景、探险娱乐和居住互动作为mdte的三个维度，影响游客的积极情绪和满意度，从而产生游客的ERB意愿。中介检验表明，积极情绪在MDTE三个维度对旅游者ERB意向的影响中起部分中介作用，而满意度仅在沙漠景观对旅游者ERB意向的影响中起部分中介作用。此外，访问时间对冒险娱乐与积极情绪之间的路径有调节作用。本研究强调了沙漠景观诱发的积极情绪对游客环境责任产生的重要途径。

This research examined how challenge perception, motivation, and perceived playfulness influence adventure tourists’ revisit intentions. This was achieved using the cognitive-affective-conative model and stress-appraisal theory. Data were collected through a questionnaire self-administered by tourists participating in river tracing in Hualien, Taiwan. The findings show that challenge perception positively affects perceived playfulness, while motivation has a partially positive effect. Additionally, perceived playfulness positively influences revisit intention and mediates the relationship between challenge perception, motivation, and revisit intention.

本研究考察了挑战感知、动机和可玩性感知如何影响冒险游客的再游意向。这是利用认知-情感-意向模型和压力评估理论实现的。本研究以参与台湾花莲寻河活动的游客为对象，采用问卷调查的方式收集资料。研究结果表明，挑战感知对感知到的游戏性有积极影响，而动机有部分积极影响。此外，可玩性感知正向影响重访意向，并介导挑战感知、动机和重访意向之间的关系。

Although geothermal resources have long been utilised as tourism assets, research on geothermal tourism experiences remains scarce. This research investigates the interplay of memorable tourism experience (MTE) dimensions in shaping tourists’ revisit and recommend intentions. A survey was administered among visitors to a geothermal destination of Rotorua, New Zealand. The study employed a symmetric approach using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and an asymmetric approach utilising fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) for data analysis. The findings reveal that hedonism, novelty, refreshment, and meaningfulness significantly influence revisit intention, while hedonism, involvement, novelty, and refreshment significantly impact recommend intention. Additionally, the fsQCA results show twelve sufficient combinations of MTE dimensions that drive high revisit and recommend intentions. This research enriches the tourism scholarship by providing new insights into the role of MTEs in geothermal tourism. The findings also offer a strategic guiding framework for destination managers.

虽然地热资源作为旅游资产早已被利用，但对地热旅游体验的研究却很少。本研究探讨难忘旅游体验（MTE）各维度在塑造游客重游意向和推荐意向中的相互作用。在新西兰罗托鲁瓦地热胜地的游客中进行了一项调查。该研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）的对称方法和利用模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）的非对称方法进行数据分析。结果表明，享乐主义、新颖性、新鲜感和意义性显著影响重访意向，而享乐主义、投入、新颖性和新鲜感显著影响推荐意向。此外，fsQCA结果显示了12个足够的MTE维度组合，这些组合驱动了高重访和推荐意愿。本研究为MTEs在地热旅游中的作用提供了新的见解，丰富了旅游学术。研究结果还为目的地管理者提供了战略指导框架。

This study evaluates the efficacy of Strava Metro data for estimating recreational trail use in protected areas, which targets a critical need to understand patterns of human movement given the increasing trends in visitation. We compare Strava Metro data, encompassing aggregated pedestrian and cycling activity, with calibrated TRAFx trail counter data across 13 trails within three protected areas in the greater Los Angeles region over a one-year period. Along with the Strava Metro data, we collected daily weather covariates to analyze the efficacy and utility of Strava Metro for predicting recreational trail use. Our findings demonstrate the potential of Strava Metro to provide robust estimates of recreational trail use, particularly for cycling use, while also acknowledging inherent limitations concerning representativeness and potential socio-demographic biases. This research contributes to the development of effective monitoring strategies using secondary data sources to understand human mobility patterns in protected area settings that inform park management decisions and support long-term conservation objectives.

本研究评估了Strava Metro数据在估算保护区休闲步道使用情况方面的有效性，该数据的目标是了解游客数量增加趋势下人类运动模式的关键需求。我们比较了Strava Metro数据，包括汇总的行人和骑自行车活动，与经过校准的TRAFx步道计数器数据，这些数据横跨大洛杉矶地区三个保护区内的13条步道，为期一年。与Strava Metro数据一起，我们收集了每日天气协变量来分析Strava Metro预测休闲步道使用的功效和效用。我们的研究结果表明，Strava Metro有潜力为休闲步道的使用提供可靠的估计，特别是自行车的使用，同时也承认固有的代表性和潜在的社会人口偏见的局限性。这项研究有助于制定有效的监测策略，利用二手数据源来了解保护区环境中的人类流动模式，为公园管理决策提供信息，并支持长期保护目标。

The use of social networks in the practice of hiking has undergone an exponential increase. This surge has generated new realities that have changed outdoor sports, creating new challenges and opportunities for managers of the outdoor activities industry. The present study shows new interactions that are generated at the intersection of the use of social networks and hiking from a quantitative perspective. A total of 560 hikers were surveyed in three prominent hiking destinations: Fullufjallet National Park (Sweden), Laugavegur Trail (Iceland) and Valles Occidentales Natural Park (Spain). The results obtained reveal new insights to the field of hiking in nature. First, Instagram has positioned itself as the social network par excellence in the field of hiking among young people. Second, that most of the functionalities used during hiking are closely related to the social aspect which can be understood through uses and gratification theory. The practical implications of this research have a direct impact both on the supervision of public and natural areas in terms of visitor management, as well as in the field of the outdoor activities industry with the aim of using social networks as an element to better adjust the supply of activities among practitioners.

在徒步旅行中使用社交网络的情况呈指数增长。这种激增产生了新的现实，改变了户外运动，为户外活动行业的管理者创造了新的挑战和机遇。目前的研究表明，从定量的角度来看，在使用社交网络和徒步旅行的交叉点产生了新的互动。共有560名徒步旅行者在三个著名的徒步旅行目的地接受了调查：Fullufjallet国家公园（瑞典）、Laugavegur步道（冰岛）和西方山谷自然公园（西班牙）。所获得的结果揭示了自然界徒步旅行领域的新见解。首先，Instagram将自己定位为年轻人徒步旅行领域的卓越社交网络。其次，徒步旅行中使用的大多数功能都与社会方面密切相关，这可以通过使用和满足理论来理解。本研究的实际意义对公共和自然区域的访客管理监督以及户外活动行业领域具有直接影响，旨在利用社交网络作为元素更好地调整从业者之间的活动供应。

Background

A balanced view of the celebrated therapeutic and restorative benefits of surfing recognises a more complex reality in which surfers must navigate a range of social, psychological, and environmental challenges. The positive effects on mental health from recreational surfing are counterbalanced by several associated negative effects. Understanding the motivations of surfers despite this, and the balance of factors affecting the experiences and mental wellbeing of recreational surfers, will inform the promotion of recreational surfing and the design and delivery of associated programs.

Methods

A qualitative content analysis study was conducted with data collected through the Global Surfer Survey. A cross-sectional inductive thematic analysis identified dominant themes in response to two questions related to surfing and mental health.

Results

Regarding the ‘meaning of surfing’ key positive themes included emotional regulation, surfing as an identity and lifestyle, maintenance of physical wellbeing, and social belonging. Key negative themes included social exclusion and aggression, environmental and physical stressors and the emotional toll of rescue.

Discussion

The experiences and challenges faced by recreational surfers are related to a combination of demographic, social and environmental factors. Mental wellbeing is shaped through motivational balancing of relational engagement with the ocean, and surf culture.

Conclusion

The motivations for recreational surfing in Australia are best understood through a relational wellbeing lens where entanglements between individuals and their social and environmental contexts are identified.

In understanding these motivations, a balanced view can be presented when participating in, promoting, planning for, and developing policy for recreational surfing.

冲浪的治疗和恢复作用是著名的，从平衡的角度来看，冲浪者必须面对一系列社会、心理和环境的挑战，这是一个更复杂的现实。休闲冲浪对心理健康的积极影响被一些相关的负面影响所抵消。尽管如此，了解冲浪者的动机，以及影响休闲冲浪者体验和心理健康的因素的平衡，将为休闲冲浪的推广以及相关项目的设计和交付提供信息。方法利用全球上网调查收集的数据进行定性内容分析研究。横断面归纳专题分析确定了与冲浪和心理健康有关的两个问题的主要主题。结果：关于“冲浪的意义”，关键的积极主题包括情绪调节、冲浪作为一种身份和生活方式、保持身体健康和社会归属感。主要的负面主题包括社会排斥和侵略，环境和身体压力因素以及救援的情感代价。休闲冲浪者的经历和面临的挑战与人口、社会和环境因素有关。心理健康是通过与海洋和冲浪文化的关系的动机平衡来塑造的。结论：在澳大利亚，休闲冲浪的动机最好通过关系健康的视角来理解，其中个人与其社会和环境背景之间的纠缠是确定的。在理解这些动机后，在参与、促进、规划和制定休闲冲浪政策时，就可以提出一个平衡的观点。
