“…For example, Searle and Jackson (1985;Jackson and Searle 1983) investigated the desire, but inability, to participate in new activities among nonparticipants, whereas McGuire, Dottavio, and O'Leary (1986) focused on the inability, among current participants, to increase participation to desired levels. Other investigators have selected alternative measures, including ceasing participation in former activities (e.g., Boothby, Tungatt, and Townsend 1981;Jackson and Dunn 1988;McGuire, Dottavio, and O'Leary 1986;McGuire, O'Leary, Yeh, and Dottavio 1989), the nonuse of public leisure services (e.g., Godbey, 1985;Howard and Crompton, 1984), and failure to achieve anticipated levels of enjoyment in current activities (e.g., Francken and van Raiij 1981;Witt and Goodale 1981).…”

The internal homogeneity or differentiation of the concept of constrained leisure is investigated by assessing similarities and differences in patterns of the importance of 12 constraints items in relation to two distinct indicators of this general concept (ceasing participation in a former activity, and desire to participate in a new activity) rather than the single measure typical of previous research. By using data from two similar public recreation surveys, the findings show that the strength and relative importance of 12 items as reasons and barriers were generally the same, except that the cost of equipment was more frequently identified as a deterrent to beginning participation, whereas being physically unable to participate was more frequently identified as a reason for ceasing participation. These results were confirmed by internal replication when the data were broken down by selected activities and respondents' age. The findings indicate that constrained leisure must be viewed as an internally differentiated concept because various indicators of the concept are not wholly interchangeable with one another.

“…Low commitment toward exercise behavior (Scanlan, Carpenter, Schmidt, Simons, & Keeler, 1993; and physical well-being (Boothby, Tungatt, & Townsend, 1981) are important reasons for not maintaining sports and exercise behavior. We assume that these variables indicate a lack of motivation and might also impair the experience of flow in fitness sports.…”

How basic need satisfaction and dispositional motives interact in predicting flow experience in sport

We have integrated the basic psychological needs approach from self-determination theory with motive disposition theory in order to enhance the prediction of flow experience in sports. We hypothesize that an environment that enables people to fulfill their basic psychological needs for competence and social relatedness results in flow. Additionally, we assume that the effect of competence need satisfaction is moderated by the achievement motive and that the effect of need-for-relatedness satisfaction is moderated by the affiliation motive. Four studies show the expected positive effects of need satisfaction on flow and further confirm that high achievement and affiliation-motivated individuals benefit more from competence and relatedness sports environments, respectively, than individuals low in these motives.

“…Gerçekte, serbest zaman engelleri araştırmaları rekreasyon araştırmacılarına sadece yararlı bilgiler sağlamamaktadır, bunun yanında korunan alan yöneticilerinin karar vermelerini de desteklemektedir. Ayrıca Serbest zaman engelleri araştırma sonuçları rekreasyon yönetimi stratejilerinde doğrudan uygulanabilir ve serbest zaman etkinliklerine katılımın kalitesini arttırabilir (Boothy et al 1981). Bu anlamda, serbest zaman engellerinin ortaya çıkarılması, rekreasyon yönetim süreçlerini etkileyerek, şekillendirdiği ve rekreasyon etkinliklerinin verimini arttırmaya fayda sağladığı düşünülmektedir.…”

Öz: Bu çalışma, açıkhava rekreasyonu ve turizm etkinlikleri için önemli bir kaynak olan milli parkların kullanımlarına yönelik engellerin irdelenmesi amaçlı gerçekleştirilen bir literatür taramasıdır. Günümüzde; milli parklar, bilimsel ve estetik bakımdan, milli ve milletlerarası ender bulunan doğal ve kültürel kaynak değerleri korumanın yanı sıra turizm ve rekreasyon etkinliklerinin gerçekleştirildiği önemli yerler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu alanların etkin kullanılması, doğa koruma çalışmalarına katkı sağlarken aynı zamanda fiziksel, sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve çevresel anlamda olumlu etkiler yaratmaktadır. Dünya'daki gelişmiş milli park sistemleri incelendiğinde özellikle iç turizme ve rekreasyonel kullanıma yönelik talebin fazla olduğu ve yerel halkın bu alanlardan yüksek düzeyde yararlandığı görülmektedir. Yapılan literatür incelemesi sonucunda, milli parkların kullanımlarına yönelik engeller özelinde yapılmış olan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu, yapılan çalışmaların da çoğunlukla, yapısal engeller çatısı altında ve etnik azınlıklar üzerine yoğunlaştığı görülmektdir. Bu kapsamda milli park kullanımlarına yönelik engellerin belirlenmesi için yapılacak çalışmaların arttırılması önerilmekte, engellerin belirlenmesiyle de sürdürülebilir milli park planlamalarına destek sağlanması öngörülmektedir. Anahtar sözcükler: Açıkhava Rekreasyonu, Bariyerler/Engeller, Kullanım, Milli ParkAbstract: The aim of this analysis of the literature was to examine in the context of outdoor recreation the constraits upon visiting national parks. Today, national parks are important areas for tourism and recreation, as well as for the protection of both natural and cultural resources. While the effective use of national parks has a positive impact upon physical, social and cultural well-being, on the economy and the environment, also they contribute in conservation efforts to the protection of nature. Considering the advanced national park system in the world, especially for domestic tourism, and the increasing demand for the recreational use of parks by local people, to take advantage of the high quality of these areas. There is only a limited literature concerning the constraints upon visiting national parks, as most studies concentrate upon the structural constraints and ethnic minorities. In this context, an increase is recommended in studies to be conducted that provide support to sustainable national park planning that are aimed at identifying the constraints upon visiting national parks.
