“…Ethnic minority representation as measured by the percentage of the FSA population with a nonofficial first language was, as expected, negatively related to license rates (e.g., Floyd and Lee 2002;Thunberg and Fulcher 2006). However, inconsistent with our hypothesis and previous literature (e.g., Arlinghaus 2006;Floyd et al 2006), female representation was positively associated with the licensing rate of the FSA. This result likely arose from our need to express this individual gender trait as an aggregate measure (percentage of FSA population) and the fact that the log of population density and the percentage females were positively associated (r = 0.38, df = 508, P < 0.01).…”

“…Many relevant studies have examined how individual traits, such as gender and ethnicity, influence decisions to participate in and purchase recreational fishing licenses. General conclusions emerging from these studies are that fishing participation and/or license rates are lower among the following: (1) females (e.g., Arlinghaus 2006;Floyd et al 2006), (2) poorer and unemployed individuals (e.g., Floyd and Lee 2002;Arlinghaus et al 2015), (3) individuals from ethnic and racial minorities (e.g., Floyd and Lee 2002;Thunberg and Fulcher 2006), and (4) urban residents (e.g., Dabrowska et al 2014;Arlinghaus et al 2015). Uncertainty still remains regarding the effects of age and education on these rates.…”

Management agencies need to understand the factors that influence fishing license purchases. While traits such as gender can influence the decisions of recreational fishers, a gap remains in understanding the influence of catchrelated fishing quality on these decisions. We evaluated the use of fish biomass density as a proxy for catch-related fishing quality along with non-catch-related factors (population density, gender, and ethnicity) to explain variation in 2014 resident fishing license rates across 510 origins in Ontario. License rates were higher in areas with lower population density (i.e., rural areas), in areas with higher fish biomass density, and among populations with stronger representation by ethnic majorities. From simulated scenarios, we predicted that resident license sales could increase between 14% and 25% if fish biomass density increased by 30% and 54% in northeastern and southern Ontario, respectively. However, license sales could decrease between 5% and 10% with a 30% redistribution of rural residents to a major urban area. The relationship between license rates and non-catch-related factors confirms the role of urbanization on recreational fishing participation, while catch-related factors provide support for a functional response by fishers to fish.

“…For example, recreational angling has a variety of psycho-social benefits including relaxation, stress relief, and reduction in negative emotions (Floyd et al 2006). Fishing, especially in urban areas, also can contribute to reductions in substance abuse among youth (i.e., "hooked on fishing, not on drugs" programs that introduce youth to fishing as an alternative to destructive activities) and help to address the concept of nature deficit disorder (Louv 2008) where adults and children have become disconnected with the natural world.…”

The social, economic, and environmental importance of inland fish and fisheries

et al. 2016

Though reported capture fisheries are dominated by marine production, inland fish and fisheries make substantial contributions to meeting the challenges faced by individuals, society, and the environment in a changing global landscape. Inland capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute over 40% to the world's reported finfish production from less than 0.01% of the total volume of water on earth. These fisheries provide food for billions and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. Herein, using supporting evidence from the literature, we review 10 reasons why inland fish and fisheries are important to the individual (food security, economic security, empowerment), to society (cultural services, recreational services, human health and well-being, knowledge transfer and capacity building), and to the environment (ecosystem function and biodiversity, as aquatic "canaries", the "green food" movement). However, the current limitations to valuing the services provided by inland fish and fisheries make comparison with other water resource users extremely difficult. This list can serve to demonstrate the importance of inland fish and fisheries, a necessary first step to better incorporating them into agriculture, land-use, and water resource planning, where they are currently often underappreciated or ignored.Key words: food security, freshwater ecosystems, importance of fish, inland fisheries.Résumé : Bien que la capture de poissons rapportée par les pêcheries soit dominée par la production marine, les poissons et les pêcheries de l'intérieur des terres apportent des contributions substantielles pour rencontrer les défis rencontrés par les individus, les sociétés et l'environnement dans un paysage en changement global. Les captures des pêcheries de l'intérieur et l'aquaculture contribuent à la hauteur de 40 % à la production mondiale rapportée pour les poissons à nageoires, à partir de moins de 0,01 % du volume total de l'eau sur terre. Ces pêcheries fournissent de la nourriture pour des milliards et un moyen de subsistance pour des millions de gens, partout au monde. Dans cette revue, en utilisant des preuves venant de la littérature, les auteurs examinent 10 raisons pour lesquelles, les pêcheries et les poissons de l'intérieur sont importants pour les individus (sécurité alimentaire, sécurité économique, l'autonomisation), pour la société (services culturels, services récréatifs, santé humaine et bien-être, transfert de connaissances et capacité à construire) et pour l'environnement (fonction écosystémique et biodiversité, comme « canaris » aquatiques, pour le mouvement « aliments verts »). Cependant, les limitations actuelles pour évaluer les services fournis par les poissons et les pêcheries intérieures rendent les comparaisons avec les autres utilisateurs de la ressource en eau extrêmement difficile. Cette liste peut servir à démontrer l'importance des poissons et des pêcheries de l'intérieur, une première étape essentielle pour mieux les incorporer avec l'agriculture, l'utilisation du territoire e...

“…Ayrıca, yaşlı bireylerin, genç bireylere oranla park kullanımına yönelik daha fazla engellere sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir (McGuire, Boyd & Tedrick 1996;Scott & Jacson 1996;Raymore & Scott 1998). Yaşlanma kaynaklı olarak, fiziksel kısıtlayıcıların artmasıyla, bireylerin aktif olarak katıldıkları rekreasyon etkinlikleri azalmakta, bireyler daha pasif etkinlikleri tercih etmektedir (Floyd et al 2006). Shores et al (2007) yaş ile açıkhava rekreasyon engelleri ilişkisini açıklarken, finansal yapının iyi anlaşılması gerektiğini vurgulamıştır.…”

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.
