A Study of Environmental Education Requirements in Urban Theme Parks from the Perspective of Adolescents

Abstract

Starting from the perspective of adolescents, this study selects the Maritime Silk Road Art Park in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, as the focal point for investigating environmental education requirements for urban theme parks. It comprehensively reviews existing literature and research findings, establishes evaluation indices for environmental education requirements, and systematically analyzes collected data through questionnaires and interviews. The study employs the Kano model to initiate a survey focusing on requirement types and importance ranking at the Maritime Silk Road Art Park. It aims to identify improvement factors and key factors, subsequently conducting a detailed analysis, summary, and explanation of the environmental education requirements for the youth. The results indicate that 11 out of the 25 requirement factors, categorized into five groups, significantly impact youth satisfaction. Based on the sensitivity ranking of improvement factors, these include the following: environmental education game, landscape facility, leisure and recreation facility, plant landscape planning, “five senses experience” activity, trail route design, guided signage facility, public sanitation facility, facility maintenance management, park functional zoning, and consultancy services platform. Through an in-depth analysis of the five prevalent factors influencing environmental education requirements in urban theme parks for adolescents, this study establishes a scientific evaluation system centered on the construction of urban theme parks. It integrates with the development and construction of the parks, proposing innovative and constructive suggestions based on a summary of the analysis results. The aim is to provide references and insights for similar requirements in other theme parks.
