“…Despite the differences in recreation use intensities and visitor activities between urban, suburban and backcountry settings, similar results regarding the proportion of copers among recreation area visitors and types of coping behaviors were gained [16,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Thus, use density may be an incomplete explanation for the proportion of visitors with coping behaviors in response to crowding and types of coping behaviors employed.…”

“…Outdoor recreation researchers [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] have focused on use displacement as one potential explanation for the consistently low relationship between visitor satisfaction and concurrent reports of crowding [10,26,32,34]. They found that coping behaviors can successfully lessen the impact of too many people and facilitate visits with a satisfying recreation experience.…”

Public urban green spaces play an important role in urban sustainability. These places should provide high-quality recreation experiences for the urban residents. However, they are often overused. The Wienerberg area in the south of Vienna, Austria, was transformed from a waste disposal site into a natural recreation area. During the past years, intensive settlement densification processes have taken place, resulting in a doubling of the local population living within a few minutes walking distance. An on-site survey among green space visitors (N = 231) revealed that the majority of them considered the area to be overcrowded on Sundays/holidays and reported a perceived increase in visitor numbers during the past years. Visitors with more past experience, as well as those who have perceived an increase in visitor numbers during recent years, reported higher crowding perceptions. A significant proportion of them try to avoid these crowds, relying on behavioral coping strategies, such as inter-area displacement. While urban regeneration has provided an attractive recreation area, urban densification around the green space appears to have reduced its recreational quality. Monitoring recreation quality indicators, such as crowding perceptions, seems to be useful for sustainable urban green space management and city planning.

“…Empirical support for the displacement process in recreation is found in a variety of studies, usually focused on boaters. Experienced boaters alter their itinerary or travel patterns to avoid crowded areas (Anderson & Brown, 1984;Nielson & Endo, 1977;Robertson & Regula, 1994;Shelby et al, 1988;Vaske et al, 1980).…”

“…Recreational displacement occurs when recreationists dissatisfied with setting attributes, environmental impacts, or social conditions go to another location or visit at a different time (Robertson & Regula, 1994). Such displacement may explain high levels of visitor satisfaction despite changing or undesirable recreational conditions (Shelby, Bregenzer, & Johnson, 1988 Additional research that may be of interest to park managers, would consider visitor perceptions of the park based on how they obtain information about the park.…”
