“…New studies do not focus much on sources of conflicts, but on the governance of forest recreation and solutions for potential conflicts (Wilkes-Allemann et al, 2015a;Wilkes-Allemann et al, 2015b;Wilkes-Allemann et al, 2017). Nevertheless, it is clear that recreation-based conflicts are diverse and need to be understood in their character before solutions may be developed (Mann and Absher, 2007;Needham et al, 2008;Wong and Yu, 2012;Pröbstl-Haider et al, 2018).…”

“…Vaske et al (2000) and Carothers et al (2001) sketch a continuum of undesirable recreation behaviour, ranging from a lack in awareness to actively inconsiderate behaviour. Other studies record the extent of conflicts by measuring the satisfaction of recreationists, in particular, the satisfaction with meeting others while performing their leisure activity (Watson et al, 1991;Wong and Yu, 2012;Kleiner et al, 2022).…”

“…The single factor most frequently mentioned for conflict genesis is resource specificity (Thapa and Graefe, 2003;Wong and Yu, 2012;Schachinger, 2020). Resource specificity refers to the degree of dependence of an activity on a specific site (Jacob and Schreyer, 1980).…”

“…Resource specificity refers to the degree of dependence of an activity on a specific site (Jacob and Schreyer, 1980). It is measured, for example, by asking recreationists how important a place for a certain recreation activity is, how their relationship to the place is and how important visiting the place is for their everyday life (Wong and Yu, 2012). In many cases, a positive correlation was demonstrated between resource specificity and conflict.…”

“…For example, it has been shown that visitors to wilderness areas exhibit a greater immersion in the natural environment than recreationists who are outside designated protected areas (Watson et al, 1991). Different degrees of immersion are usually measured by asking recreationists to judge the extent to which they focus on their activity, on nature and their companions (Vaske et al, 2000;Wong and Yu, 2012). It is assumed that recreationists with a focus on natural environments perceive disturbance less intensively (Schachinger, 2020).…”

More and more people are visiting forests for recreational and leisure purposes. Against this backdrop, conflicts have become rampant mainly due to limited spaces and conflicting recreational expectations. Recreational conflicts have the tendency to diminish the satisfaction that a visitor derives from leisure activities in the forest. This is a challenge not only to forest management but also to tourism product development. The study investigates recreational conflicts in forests by conducting a nationwide online survey. Conflicts were described based on how intensively they are discussed in public, how emotionally they are treated, and based on the willingness of the respondents in finding solutions to the conflicts. In order to investigate the factors that contribute to conflict genesis, the example of conflicts between cyclists and other forest visitors was researched by an on-site survey in Freiburg (Germany). The results show that cultural factors influence conflict genesis. For example, the activity style of recreationists and their mode of experience play an important role in conflict genesis. Both are cultural factors, when following a value-based understanding of culture. However, not are recreational conflicts judged as highly emotional; instead, they seem to be an expected part of forest visits. The study concludes with recommendations for tourism product development and forest management.

As the main sites of urban residents' recreational activity in a mass leisure era, urban public recreational space (UPRS) is the primary component of urban public spatial systems. To satisfy current demands for the construction of livable cities and to meet the challenges of UPRS development in an urbanizing context, a scientific and systematic review of the latest developments in UPRS research is important for developing this field. Based on 1264 papers from the China National Knowledge Internet and the Web of Science from 1985 to 2018, this study examined research developments on UPRS in China. Through a quantitative literature analysis, we divided UPRS-related research in China into three stages of development: the starting period (1985-2000), the growth period (2001-2009), and the consolidation period (2010-2018). Next, we identified nine "hot" research topics on UPRS and reviewed developments in each of these. These topics were the classification of UPRS, spatial structure and layout, comprehensive evaluation, planning and development, the impacts of UPRS development, spatial-temporal evolution laws and mechanisms, space imagery features, sustainable utilization, and governmental decision making on UPRS. We also systematically reviewed the research methods and spatial scales used in UPRS-related studies in China. In response to deficiencies in existing research, we put forward several suggestions regarding future research: Chinese UPRS studies should focus on basic theoretical research; construct a new research system that accounts for Chinese characteristics, based on interdisciplinary and multilevel spatial integration; develop a humanistic philosophy and build management systems for UPRS that can lead to the development of world-class cities based on a global vision.
