Abstract This pilot study predicted the association of pre-lockdown campus recreational sports (CRS) participation with post-secondary students’ stressors and perceived competence during the campus lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with CRS membership at a Canadian university completed online questionnaires before and during the campus lockdown. Factor analysis showed that campus lockdowns added new stressors such as academic uncertainty, self-support struggles, and e-learning challenges to students’ academic life. Regression analysis also indicated that students who participated more frequently in recreational activities before the pandemic, experienced lower levels of pandemic-related stressors and reported higher levels of perceived competence to handle challenges and master their school workload during the lockdown. Results suggest that the impact of CRS activities on reducing levels of stress contribute to wellbeing above and beyond physical health benefits. Greater CRS participation cultivates personal strengths toward gaining lifelong skills and expansion of self to effectively manage negative life challenges.

Abstract This study explored how changes in stress, anxiety about COVID-19, and leisure participation affected individuals’ well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included two waves of data collection from 454 participants aged 30–49 years in South Korea; data collection occurred during the two peaks of the pandemic in 2020. A series of analyses was used to examine the associations in leisure patterns, demographic characteristics, stress, anxiety, and well-being during the pandemic. The results indicated that the participants’ leisure patterns shifted from participating in more home leisure to outdoor leisure between the two waves during the pandemic. In addition, participating in more outdoor leisure activities was found to contribute to better well-being. An improved understanding of the associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and various aspects of life is important for effective leisure development and to help people overcome life’s difficulties during and after the pandemic.

Abstract The main purpose of this study was to construct a scale for measuring conspicuous leisure behavior. The proposed scale was developed in three phases. In Phase 1, in-depth interviews with 13 participants of selected activities were conducted. Initially, the study adapted 61 items to establish a formal questionnaire through a rigorous content analysis of the interview samples collected from 494 valid questionnaires. In Phase 2, the initially selected 61 items were reduced and categorized into five dimensions with 51 items through exploratory factor analysis. In Phase 3, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the reliability, validity, and model fit of the Conspicuous Leisure Behavior Scale. CFA results revealed that the second-order factors were self-consciousness, social display, style orientation, physical–mental activation, and activity specificity. Further insights into conspicuous leisure behavior and practical applications are proposed. Strategies for tourism managers and future research directions are also identified.

Abstract The paper uses daily data from Google to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s mobility around the world regarding three types of leisure and travel activity: retail shopping and recreation; participation in open spaces, such as parks, beaches, gardens, and marinas; and food and medicine. These types of activity reflect important leisure and travel choices of people under conditions of epidemiological risk. We use the daily mortality rate as a key predictor. The results show that higher rates of mortality are associated with a lower mobility in shopping and recreation activities, higher mobility in open space activities, and rather insignificant changes in mobility regarding necessities. The effect depends on the stringency of the lockdown policies. The results remain robust after applying endogeneity analysis and country-level controls.

Abstract This study examines the effects of health beliefs upon nature-based tourism (NBT) during COVID-19 by reporting the findings of a questionnaire that was administered to 278 Americans and 300 South Koreans. The perceived benefits changed the attitude and behavioral intentions toward NBT against COVID-19 in both countries. Intrapersonal barriers had a negative impact on participants’ attitude in both countries, whereas structural barriers acting on behavioral intentions were only observed in the United States. Moreover, attitude significantly impacted behavioral intentions in both countries. Structural invariance tests using chi-square differences partially confirmed the moderating effects of nationality on certain paths. This study provides theoretical insights through the extended health belief model and theory of planned behavior. In addition, it offers practical insights by suggesting effective marketing tools for NBT in different cultures.

Abstract In March 2020 during the first wave of COVID-19 in the United States, the national supply and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) was dangerously underwhelming. Skilled volunteer quilters, sewists and 3D printer enthusiasts emerged in a groundswell of life-saving gendered disaster response, creating face masks, ear savers, and face shields. Making PPE was both tiring and comforting, a distraction from, and solution to, the pandemic, revealing the tense overlap between volunteering and project-based leisure opportunities. Qualitative data collected from July 2020 to January 2021 demonstrate PPE makers engaging in carework for the self—turning to a chosen leisure activity to relieve anxiety and provide a needed momentary distraction from the pandemic, and carework for others—constructing and distributing PPE for those in need.

Abstract We examine the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on emotional well-being and its relationship to habit and routine modifications in a sample of 584 participants aged 18-65 (M age = 35.3; 75.3% females) on lockdown in Spain. Participants assessed their perceived changes in emotional well-being during the lockdown. They reported a perceived increase in negative affect and a perceived decrease in positive affect during this period, compared to before. Regarding habits and routines, there was an increase in media and social media consumption, home cleaning and tidying up, eating and sleeping, cooking and baking, reading, talking or doing activities with other people in the home, and handwashing. Increases in media and social media use, eating, and doing nothing were significantly associated with an increase in negative affect and a decrease in positive affect. Overall, the results highlight the importance that leisure activities have in determining emotional well-being during the lockdown.

Abstract Recreation specialization through the lenses of social worlds is a common approach used to describe how people define and are defined by recreation activities. This ethnographic study investigates the social worlds of cribbage players. The study analyzes cultural structures through the lenses of closeness, inclusiveness, and recreation specialization. Using survey questionnaires, informal interviews, and researcher observations, data were collected at cribbage events over a period of 3 years. Findings reveal a distinct cribbage culture characterized by varying levels of commitment, specialization, and degrees of connectedness. The study contributes to the currently limited literature on social worlds and indoor recreation specialization. It provides insight as to how people align at a community level to find meaning via recreational activities. Data also reveals a lack of social diversity in the cribbage community. Findings could be used in leisure programming for diversity and inclusion at community and grassroots levels.

Leisure places and spaces is an important topic for investigation as these places and spaces provide the context or containers in which leisure phenomena and leisure experiences occur. This theme issue consists of seven papers that are related in one way or another to leisure places and spaces. The order of the papers in this issue moves in general from topics that are concerned with physical places to those that are more related to social spaces. The place investigated in the first paper by Thomsen et al. (2023) is federally designated wilderness in the United States. This paper is a scoping review of visitor use management (VUM) research, conducted between 2000 and 2020 in federally designated wilderness areas, that evaluated trends in research and identified eight themes: visitor experience, wilderness character, visitor use, planning and policy, recreation ecology, VUM methodology, relevancy and additional values, and stewardship. The authors claim that this review can provide direction for future VUM wilderness research. Three forest areas (Protomagno, Monte Morello, and Tret) in Italy are the places considered in the second paper by Alessandro et al. (2023) who applied the Travel Cost Method (TCM) to the economic valuing of nature-based recreation based on both the proximity of the forest area to urban areas and the forest features. In all three forest areas hiking was the most important recreational activity followed by picnicking and mountain-biking. Managed natural forests were found to have a greater recreational economic value than unmanaged planted forests, while near-urban forests had a greater number of visitors but a lower economic value per visit than mountain forests. The places investigated in the third paper by Schirck-Matthews et al. (2023) were 161 Florida State Parks. Activity data from three fitness tracker apps were used to determine which features (landcover, boundaries, entrances, points of interest, trails) of these Florida State Parks and their surroundings (e.g., major cities, airports, bays and oceans) were associated with frequency of paddling, running, cycling and hiking activities. Runners, hikers and cyclists were attracted to parks with a greater density of the respective trail type while the number of canoe/kayak launch sites and percent of water landcover were significant predictors of more paddling activities. The number of restroom facilities and the population within a 30-minute drive were examples of factors positively associated with the frequency of activity in all four recreational activities. While the first three papers focus on natural places beyond urban settings, the fourth paper focuses on two urban parks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kim et al. (2023) investigated the factors that are associated with perceived park ownership. Social motivations, informal social control, social cohesion, frequency of use and park proximity to residential neighborhoods were all associated with perceived ownership
休闲场所和空间是一个重要的研究课题，因为这些场所和空间提供了休闲现象和休闲体验发生的语境或容器。本期主题由七篇论文组成，这些论文都以不同的方式与休闲场所和空间有关。这期论文的顺序大致从与物理场所有关的主题到与社会空间更相关的主题。Thomsen等人(2023)在第一篇论文中调查的地方是美国联邦政府指定的荒野。本文对2000年至2020年间在联邦指定的荒野地区进行的游客使用管理(VUM)研究进行了范围审查，评估了研究趋势，并确定了八个主题:游客体验，荒野特征，游客使用，规划和政策，休闲生态学，VUM方法，相关性和附加价值，以及管理。作者认为这一综述可以为今后VUM野外研究提供方向。Alessandro et al.(2023)在第二篇论文中考虑了意大利的三个森林地区(Protomagno, Monte Morello和Tret)，他们基于森林地区与城市地区的接近程度和森林特征，将旅行成本法(TCM)应用于以自然为基础的娱乐的经济价值。在这三个林区，徒步旅行是最重要的娱乐活动，其次是野餐和山地自行车。经管理的天然林比未经管理的人工林具有更大的娱乐经济价值，而近城市森林的游客人数较多，但每次访问的经济价值低于山林。Schirck-Matthews等人(2023)在第三篇论文中调查的地方是161个佛罗里达州立公园。来自三个健身追踪应用程序的活动数据被用来确定这些佛罗里达州立公园及其周围环境(如主要城市、机场、海湾和海洋)的哪些特征(土地覆盖、边界、入口、兴趣点、步道)与划水、跑步、骑自行车和远足活动的频率有关。跑步者、徒步者和骑自行车的人被各自小径密度更高的公园所吸引，而独木舟/皮艇发射地点的数量和水覆盖面积的百分比是更多划桨活动的重要预测因素。洗手间设施的数量和30分钟车程内的人口是与所有四种娱乐活动的活动频率呈正相关的因素。前三篇论文关注的是城市以外的自然环境，而第四篇论文关注的是宾夕法尼亚州费城的两个城市公园。Kim等人(2023)调查了与感知公园所有权相关的因素。社会动机、非正式社会控制、社会凝聚力、使用频率和公园与居民区的接近程度都与这些城市公园的感知所有权有关。此外，公园邻近性通过社会动机、非正式社会控制和社会凝聚力与感知公园所有权呈正相关。

Abstract Now over twenty years into the 21st century, it is suggested that we are entering a new era of wilderness visitor use management (VUM). Yet, we lack a recent review of the literature assessing the latest research trends to advance wilderness VUM in a meaningful way. Accordingly, this research serves as both a review of the last twenty years of U.S. wilderness VUM research and a launching point into the next era. Our assessment adds to several previous benchmarks that demonstrate the progress of wilderness VUM research. This review evaluates trends in methodologies and themes of inquiry specific to VUM research in federally-designated wilderness over the past twenty years. The findings inform our discussion on emergent wilderness values and relevancy, approaches and settings of research, the evolving aspects of VUM in the wilderness, and the need for the synthesis of research across the National Wilderness Preservation System.
