This study focuses on camping tourism as a growing outdoor recreational activity, gaining attention locally and through extensive media coverage, particularly on social media platforms. Despite its popularity, camping tourism has not received widespread attention compared to other tourism sectors. The study aims to explore attraction factors and satisfaction levels regarding facilities and services at Murog Purog Camp Site Tambatuon Village (MPCST) in Kota Belud. The three main objectives of the study are to identify attractions motivating campers at MPCST, examine camper satisfaction with facilities and services, and propose recommendations for improvements. The research design involves an online exploratory approach with a quantitative method as the primary research tool. A total of 70 respondents who have visited MPCST in Kota Belud participated in the study, providing their responses through an online questionnaire. Attraction factors identified include the location, scenic surroundings, clear and cool river water, unique river flow structure, and offered activities. Respondents expressed very high satisfaction levels with these attraction factors. Additionally, overall satisfaction with facilities and services, such as water and electricity facilities, online reservation services, and staff services, was generally high. Several recommendations were proposed to enhance facilities and services, including building a dedicated place of worship, expanding parking areas, constructing a convenience store, increasing toilet and tent facilities, adding more electricity facilities, and installing lights around the camping area.

Number Preference as a Source of Measurement Error in the U.S. National Forest Inventory

Number preference, i.e., the human tendency to gravitate toward or away from specific numbers, is a potential source of measurement error in forest inventory. Identifying its presence is an important step to ensure unbiased results. This study evaluated U.S. national forest inventory data for number preference and identified factors that influence the proportion of tree cull volume, tree diameter, tree height, and seedling count observations ending with the digit zero or five (ED0,5) and seedling count observations that were multiples of four (M4). Two-sided hypothesis tests determined that ED0,5 occurred significantly more frequently than expected by chance for all metrics tested, though not in every inventory region of the country nor to the same degree. Consistently, tree-level ED0,5 was more likely when metrics were estimated visually rather than measured instrumentally. Logistic regression indicated that the effect of species class, species type, tree status, treetop status, and stem size on tree-level ED0,5 and the effect of plot-level water depth on seedling count ED0,5 also varied by region. Though the effect was small, findings suggest that some inventory regions may be employing an approved multiplicative shortcut that results in a greater-than-expected proportion of M4 observations among seedling counts.

The growing shortage of human resources for managing landscape in the water environment has led to problems concerning the preservation of the landscape in Japan. For developing people have the awareness to preserve the landscape, it is important to understand the process of how regional residents develop attachment toward the water environment in their area. This paper identified factors influencing the frequency of the visits to the water environment and the attachment of residents toward the Fukushima-gata lagoon, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, as a case study, while focusing on changes in the lifestyle of the regional residents. The findings are as follows: (1) The target households frequently used Fukushima-gata lagoon for fishing and for picking edible wild plants and gathering reeds to make thatched roofs before the reclamation project was carried out by the government in Fukushima-gata lagoon. They also frequented Fukushima-gata lagoon for walking and cherry blossom viewing after the reclamation project was implemented. (2) Even the fact that the distance from the lagoon to their place of residence increased after the project did not lose their attachment to the lagoon. (3) It was suggested that the project contributed to increase the attachment of regional residents towards Fukushima-gata lagoon because of multiple factors, such as playing in the water, livelihood opportunities, and recreational use. (4) Changes in the attachment of regional residents toward Fukushima-gata lagoon before and after the reclamation project was carried out by the government corresponded to changes in the lifestyle of the local residents before and after the project.
