“…However, reasons for visitation categorised as 'recreation focussed' did not necessarily predict the actual activity (recreation and/or exploration) respondents participated in. This may be a function of the 25% of respondents indicating "relaxation" as a reason for visiting (categorised as non-exploration focussed passive free-play by Hendee et al (1971). What a respondent found to be relaxing may have encompassed activities classed by Ballantyne (1998) as exploration focussed, such as the island walks or viewing the penguins.…”

“…Virtually no detailed research on visitor use and response to Penguin Island has been conducted, aside from very general information regarding visitation numbers and types of activities undertaken. Penguin Island has a strong presence of interpretive media while also accommodating a wide range of visitor activities that fall into a variety of categories defined by Hendee et al (1971) and Ballantyne et al (1998). Previous work by Hughes and Morrison-Saunders (2003) examined the influence of conservation focussed interpretation on visitors to a site with a highly restricted range of activities.…”

“…À la lecture des études portant sur la fréquentation des sites 1 de camping (Frissel et Duncan, 1965;Burch, 1965;IE3ultena et Klessig 1969;Hendee et al, 1971et Hancock, 1973, il se dégage qu'elles ont tendance à assimiler l'attraction à la fréquentation. Le site le plus fréquenté est ainsi considéré comme le plus attractif.…”

Les techniques de mesure de la fréquentation sont variées et, souvent, elles ne permettent pas de distinguer la fréquentation d'un lieu, de l'attraction exercée par celui-ci, et, si l'on y parvient, il est alors presqu'impossible d'associer les attributs préférés du paysage végétal aux préférences énoncées par les utilisateurs.L'indice de fréquentation différentielle élaboré ici permet non seulement de démontrer l'existence d'inégalités dans la fréquentation des sites, mais aussi d'associer ces inégalités de la fréquentation aux attraits du milieu forestier ambiant. En effet, la distribution spatiale de ces inégalités d'attraction n'est pas attribuable au seul fait du hasard. Au contraire, ces inégalités sont réparties d'une manière organisée, et leur appartenance à un type de communauté forestière contribue certainement à leur explication. Cette appartenance n'est pas le seul facteur explicatif de l'attraction. Toutefois, bien que la recherche ait porté sur plus d'une vingtaine de paramètres tant physiques, spatiaux que forestiers, cet article se limite uniquement à présenter l'indice de fréquentation différentielle mis au point et, à faire la preuve de l'existence de ce lien entre l'attraction d'un site de camping et son milieu forestier ambiant.The various techniques devised for measuring visitor use often do not distinguish between the use of a site and its attractivity. Where this distinction is made, it remains almost impossible to relate the attributes of the preferred vegetation patterns with the preferences declared by the users.The differential visitor use index devised by the author can be used not only to demonstrate the inequalities in visitor use but also to relate these inequalities to the various attractive features of the forest environment. The spatial distribution of the inequalities is far from random: it shows a high degree of organization which is at least partially explained by the spatial distribution of the forest attributes them selves. The various attractive features of the forest environment are not the only factors which can explain site attractivity. Even though the study has taken into account more than twenty parameters, physical, spacial as well as forester. This article, will limit itself to deal only with the differential visitor use index and to demonstrate the link between site attractivity and features of forest environment

“…Hendee, Gale and Catton (1971) initially identified five primary ways in which visitors may interact with a site as summarized in Table 1. Later authors have discussed categories of how visitors interact with natural areas they visit that are mostly variations or elaborations on the themes Hendee et al had previously identified (Ballantyne & Packer, 2005;Ballantyne, Packer, & Beckman, 1998;Manning, Valliere, & Minteer, 1999;Meyer, 2010).…”

Blending a heritage of recreation and tourism with conservation of natural heritage: an example from Penguin Island, Western Australia

This paper discusses the recreational and natural heritage of Penguin Island in its journey from use as a recreation reserve to its current management within a Class A biodiversity conservation reserve. Protected natural areas were historically managed for tourism and recreation, resulting in a significant heritage of use. They are now mainly managed for biodiversity protection, but continue to be a focus for tourism and recreation. Visitors to natural areas are considered a prime audience to raise awareness about biodiversity protection but Australia has a poor record of integrating cultural and natural heritage management. The long heritage of recreation use on Penguin Island was superimposed with a biodiversity protection mandate. Effective design based on minimal site hardening and selective restriction of recreational use, rather than education, has successfully restored island's natural heritage. However, the island's cultural heritage has been obscured. This implies the biodiversity protection and education mandate has been at the cost of preserving awareness of Penguin island's recreation and tourism heritage.
