Using Recreation Specialization to Understand Multi-Attribute Management PReferences

Los visitantes del Parc Natural de l’Alt Pirineu y la práctica de actividades recreativo-deportivas. una propuesta de segmentación

“…Son diversos los autores que abogan por la incorporación de la segmentación del mercado en los sistemas de gestión de este tipo de espacios (Frochot, 2005;Chi-ok & Ditton, 2006;Schmitz et al, 2007;Schuett & Pierskalla, 2007;Arnberger et al, 2012), siendo abundantes los trabajos desarrollados en este sentido (Brown & Haas, 1980;Collins & Hodge, 1984;Schreyer, 1982;Rollins & Rouse, 1992;Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992;McColl & Reilly 1993;De Lucio & Múgica, 1994;Merrill & Graefe, 1998;Virden & Schreyer, 1998;Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Farías et al, 2005;Schuett & Pierskalla, 2007;Woratschek et al, 2007;Farías 2011a).…”

Luring anglers to enhance fisheries

“…Gear regulations, such as restrictions on bait type (Alos et al, 2009) or lure size (Wilde et al, 2003), may reduce overall angling success while increasing the overall size of fish that are caught and likely harvested. Regardless, numbers of harvestable-sized fish caught by anglers generally decreases with more restrictive regulations, which may decrease angler satisfaction (e.g., Oh and Ditton, 2006) and ultimately reduce fishing pressure at the waterbody (Beard et al, 2003).…”

A Qualitative Exploration of Female Surfers: Recreation Specialization, Motivations, and Perspectives

“…However, qualitative analysis of participation experience has been largely overlooked from the majority of past specialization research. Although several researchers have measured participation with questions containing frequency of participation including the number of trips taken in the last five years, average number of trips taken in a lifetime, number of years of activity experience, number of trips per year, and total number of days of participation in the last 12 months (Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Bryan, 1977;McIntyre & Pigram, 1992;Oh & Ditton, 2006) These findings may also conflict with Scott and Schafer's (2001) conjecture that although some participants do progress to an expertise level of specialization, a majority maintain a fixed or unchanging level of involvement or simply decrease their participation. The results of this study suggest that female involvement in surfing increases and decreases along the specialization continuum.…”

“…The interview questions pertaining to specialization were composed of Bryan's (Bryan, 1977(Bryan, , 1979) specialization framework and more recent specialization research (e.g., Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Ditton et al, 1992;Oh & Ditton, 2006). Bryan previously segmented trout anglers by their respective frequency of participation, setting preferences, technique preferences, choice of equipment, the importance of catching fish, social setting of the activity, and fishery resource management preferences.…”

“…The degree of perceived skill has been typically grouped using categories identified as novice, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and/or expert and has been measured through a self-perceived approach (Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Bryan, 1977;Donnelly, Vaske, & Graefe, 1986;Graefe & Vaske, 1987;Hase, 1996;Miller & Graefe, 2000;Oh & Ditton, 2006).…”
