“…It is interesting to find that despite the near-normal distribution pattern (Table 2), the extraction value reveals that 'time spend' is slightly poor explained by other variables. This is in contrast with Inglis et al [3] and Han et al's [11] findings who accentuated on time planning. Out of 9, 4 variables were extracted (Table 3) with only a slight difference in the percent of variance (component 1: 19.932%, component 2: 15.723%, component 3: 12.461% and component 4: 11.701%).…”

“…[11] who envisage awareness level as an important factor of timing preference potential, state the following: 'Understanding individuals' anticipation of crowding [of which, influenced by their awareness level] is important because such anticipation may have a significant influence on individual visit timing decisions and thereby also on crowding distribution itself'. [12] discusses [11] statement at a deeper level by highlighting issue of determining the standard level of individuals' interaction (socially and physically), by which shall be viewed from the perspective of potential and accepted crowding standard. Interestingly, [13] bring forward the potential of 'producing' crowding which may be brought upon by the site's popularity as well as the excellent quality of tourism facilities.…”

Abstract. This working paper focuses in enjoyment factors, specifically: number of beach users, perceived maximum number of beach users accepted, perceived maximum number of beach users that affects the tourism experience and perceived maximum number of beach users that affects the beach quality. At a deeper extent, the evaluation is categorized by number of visitation, visitation motivations, and Chenang Island's push and pull factors. Relationships between variables were assessed using a two-phase evaluation framework where interestingly, only one demographic factor works with all the studied independent variables. It is also learned that the density of an area (number of people seen) is considered as an accepted crowding factor, as opposed to this working paper scope (experienced crowding). A unique relationship was observed for crowding level, and visitation satisfaction level and overall evaluation of Chenang beach quality. This working paper further supports the previous literature on the significance of beach carrying capacity management and it is learned that the idea of crowding standard is interlinks with 'gender, 'time spend' and 'number of boaters'. From findings, this

“…The findings also suggest that the presence of others in the experience space can ultimately impact the opportunity for consumers to co-create. The deliberate efforts of some customer critics to avoid having others in their personal space supports the findings of Han et al (2010). In a recreational context, consumers tried to avoid crowding by anticipating the likelihood of other individuals attending the recreational venue at the same time and adjusting their own attendance accordingly.…”

“…However, congestion on a few popular weekends could not be avoided even if the crowding information was fully provided. Another study found that visitors who cannot easily shift their schedule for the visit will still go as planned, even if they know that the day may be very crowded [52]. Therefore, a reservation system with a specific limitation on the number of users, instead of any indirect management action, should be considered for the Kuro-dake campsite.…”

A limit on use is often practiced overnight in mountain national parks to reduce users’ environmental impact on campgrounds and cabins or huts, where they spend most of their time. This study aims to propose an appropriate management system to mitigate the problems observed in Daisetsuzan National Park’s unmanaged campsites. We looked into three mountain national parks in Taiwan to learn about an established campground reservation system. We collected information on campgrounds and cabins in these three national parks through a literature review and internet surveys. The distribution of campgrounds and cabins was mapped using ArcMap 10.8.1. They effectively reduced the distance between adjacent campgrounds and controlled each campground’s area. This was done by tolerating some informal sites among online reservable campgrounds. The results of the interview surveys with the three park managers showed that the reservation system helped reduce the crowding problem. Introducing a lenient reservation system, with the support of related stakeholders and park users, would be a promising option to mitigate soil erosion and overuse problems in campsites in Daisetsuzan National Park’s alpine zone and in other campsites in fragile environments worldwide.
