“…Binkhorst & Dekker, 2009) and “the structured experience” (e.g. Ellis et al, 2020), view recreational experiences through the lens of an experience economy (Pine & Gilmore, 2011) rather than the classical consumer experience, thus placing more emphasis on the internal experiences of the individual than the attributes that an experience provides. Future research on the angling experience could benefit from these alternative perspectives.…”

Recreational angler satisfaction: What drives it?

Satisfaction is the reward that recreational anglers receive from their experiences, and it constitutes a relevant management target. Angler satisfaction also shapes preferences for regulations, compliance with rules and general angler behaviours. Because of its central role in recreational fisheries management, it is important to understand what drives angler satisfaction. Our objective was to study the catch and non‐catch‐related determinants of recreational angler satisfaction using a standardized literature search and synthesizing the literature using meta‐analytical techniques. After identifying and screening 279 papers, we obtained K = 172 effect sizes extracted from N = 23 studies that met our inclusion criteria. A three‐level random‐effects model on Pearson's R, derived from studies relating component satisfaction to overall satisfaction assuming a sum‐of‐satisfaction model, was fitted. The aggregated effect sizes revealed that catch‐related (i.e. catch rate, size of caught fish, fish harvest) and two non‐catch‐related components (i.e. access to fishing sites and crowding) were most related to angler satisfaction. Other non‐catch components (e.g. environmental quality, facilities, perception of relaxation quality) also contributed to angler satisfaction but were of less importance, more variable across studies and in some cases not significant (e.g. perceived water quality, quality of social experience). We conclude changes to access to fishing sites, crowding and a reduction in catch qualities, will in many cases produce dissatisfied anglers. In the absence of local studies, focusing management attention on these components can be recommended if the aim is to satisfy anglers or avoid managerial or social issues that emerge from dissatisfied anglers.

“…Leisure satisfaction is the use of personal activity experience to compare previous experience, personal expectations, or sense of expectation [58]. When the actual leisure environment or activity content meets personal expectations, a satisfying attitude emerges in the heart [57,58]. The higher the satisfaction level, the higher the positive energy cognition obtained [59].…”

“…Personal physical and mental health refers to physical, psychological, and social wellbeing [58]. It is an analytical method of self-perception evaluation [59], which can present the actual situation through scientific test evidence such as self-assessment [60].…”

“…Therefore, mixed research methods were used, quantitativ research methods were first used to supplement the research breadth [67,68], then qual tative research was used to increase the depth of research [69], and multivariate verifica tion methods were used to discuss [70][71][72], which could make up for research develop ment or defects of insufficient theory [73]. Therefore, the research first referred to the com piled questionnaire tools in the literature on leisure satisfaction [25,44,45,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66], physica and mental health, [25,44,45,[58][59][60][61][62], and willingness to participate again [25,44,45,[50][51][52][53][54][55] First, three experts checked the content validity. After the draft was revised, 100 question naires were collected in June 2020, analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software, and con firmed with the formal questionnaire tools.…”

“…Leisure satisfaction is an evaluation formed by comparing personal expectations or a sense of anticipation after using personal experience of the surrounding environment, equipment, and facilities [57,58]. The higher the satisfaction level, the greater the positive energy cognition obtained [59], and the stronger the intention to increase the willingness to revisit [60,61].…”

From the perspective of satisfaction, physical and mental health, and re-travel, this study explored whether the development of religious and cultural tourism could construct a sustainable and friendly life and leisure environment for the elderly to promote physical and mental health. This research adopted a mixed method, collected 700 questionnaires, used SPSS 22.0 statistical software, and analyzed basic statistics, t-test, and PPMCC test. Then, the researchers conducted semi-structured interviews, collected the opinions of six interviewees, and finally analyzed with multiple checks Law discussion. The results found that people of different genders and stakeholders had different opinions about DIY activities on leisure satisfaction, featured itineraries, relaxation areas, signs and instructions, community association and service center services, historical landmarks, and public transportation. They found people’s life satisfaction in physical and mental health was increased, their headaches or pressures on the top of their heads were relieved, backache problems were reduced, and they were no longer anxious and lost tempers. They had a greater willingness to revisit some places and share experiences. This study found significant differences among these topics (p < 0.01). Women, residents, and tourists had different opinions. In addition, although the natural environment landscape and feelings have the greatest influence, the better the physical and mental health was improved, the better the willingness to travel. However, the more perfect the local construction and development, the less favorable to attract people to engage in leisure activities or tourism consumption.
