“…Gil Arroyo et al (2013) collected 1,275 data samples in the US states of Missouri and North Carolina and confirmed that the setting of a working farm was a suitable environment in which to educate and entertain visitors. Seo and Hwang (2014) found that participation in agritourism activities was a factor that influenced visitors to purchase environmentally friendly farm products. Kline et al (2016) examined the relationship between meat purchasing characteristics and consumers' interest in agritourism related to meat.…”

Purpose Previous studies have discussed individual effects that certain agritourism activities have on visitor response while ignoring interaction effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to discuss both the individual and interaction effects of agritourism activities on tourist revisit intention. Design/methodology/approach This study classified agritourism activities into four categories and collected 883 valid samples. Logistic regression was then applied to test the influence of agritourism activities on tourist revisit intention. Findings Based on the results of the statistical analysis, it was found that those agritourism activities, which required mutual cooperation such as do-it-yourself (DIY), animal interaction/feeding and fruit and vegetable picking, enhanced tourist revisit intention. Furthermore, the agritourism groups participating in activities with or without children did not have consistent revisit intentions regarding animal feeding/interaction activities. In particular, this study found that willingness to revisit for tourists with children was influenced by animal feeding/interaction, but not for tourists without children. Research limitations/implications This study demonstrates that not all agritourism activities enhance revisit intention. For this reason, agritourism businesses should consider redesigning their activities related to visitor and animal interactions as increasing conscientiousness regarding animal welfare, especially with regard to animal abuse. Additionally, those activities focused on education and ecology are not as appreciated by tourists as they may have been previously assumed between different groups. Originality/value The findings of this study reveal that if the types of agritourism activities could fulfill visitors' expectations and desires they are more likely to have a satisfying experience. The authors consider some of these notions to be a kind of unrealistic fantasy regarding agritourism and the kind of activities involved therein. This kind of fantasy is likely formed by visitors 2019 past experiences and culture. As a result, the authors conclude that agritourism activities focused on the education of plants and ecology do not achieve the truly preferred aim of better interaction between people. Objetivo Estudios anteriores han tratado los efectos individuales que tienen algunas actividades agroturísticas sobre la respuesta del visitante ignorando los efectos de interacción. Por eso, el objetivo de este estudio es tratar conjuntamente los efectos individuales y de interacción de las actividades agroturísticas sobre la intención de volver a visitar del turista.

“…Since the institutionalization of the five-day workweek in the 2000s, the demand for urban agriculture, vegetable gardens, and rural tourism has been increasing due to growing interest in health, leisure, and the environment [1][2][3][4][5]. Learning experiences related to nature and ecology are considered important educational tools to promote environmental conservation and to understand the harmony between humans and nature by allowing people to observe and touch living organisms in the field [6][7][8][9].…”

“…These agricultural education experiences are primarily limited to field and greenhouse crops, such as lettuce, Napa cabbage, and red pepper [12][13][14][15]. Although rice is the primary source of food in Korea, conducting educational studies on rice farming throughout the year is challenging [5,16,17] owing to the difficulties with periodically conducting studies that focus on experiential education in suburban fields, such as long-distance travel and inaccessibility [18]. Urban locations, such as science museums, exhibition halls, and public-relations halls, provide an attractive alternative for hosting rice farming education and experiences [19].…”

Imparting knowledge on agriculture and ecology is important for the preservation of nature. This study suggested the design of a rice–fish mixed farming (RFMF) paddy for urban agriculture and ecological education in Korea. This RFMF paddy supports the growth of rice as well as freshwater fish. ANOVA statistical analysis was conducted, and an RFMF paddy was necessary for urban agriculture/education and confirmed that biodiversity was high. To this aim, the design of a 10 m × 10 m RFMF paddy was suggested. Vegetation, insects, and aquatic invertebrates of the RFMF paddy constituted approximately 40 species more than a conventional paddy. The quality of an actual farm’s soil and water was assessed, and techniques for the co-cultivation of rice and fish are proposed. The soil must comply with the standards of Korean paddy soil, and the water must be in the temperature range of 15 to 35 °C. In the proposed design, approximately 44.0 kg rice can be produced, and catfish can grow up to 30 cm. The study suggested many experiences using rice and freshwater fish. On the basis of our study design, a virtual model of an RFMF paddy was developed in consideration of the accessible space. The development of RFMF paddies in educational institutions can promote biodiversity in cities while providing ecological education regarding aquatic plants and insects.
