The Relationship Between Park Satisfaction, Place Attachment and Revisit Intention in Neighborhood Parks with Physical Activity Facilities

Abstract

The urban population is increasing day by day, threatening human health. Neighborhood parks in which people can participate in physical activities have an important place in reducing the negative effects of urban life. However, not much is known much about factors such as "park satisfaction" and "place attachment", which may play a role in the visitors' participation in and continuation of physical activity in neighborhood parks, or the relationship between these factors. The purpose of this study was thus to examine the relationship between park satisfaction, place attachment and revisit intention. The data were obtained using the convenience sampling method from 357 park visitors who visited a park for physical activity. The methodological principles of structural equation modeling were used to test the conceptual model based on the literature review. According to the results, park satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on park attachment. In addition, park attachment played a mediating role between satisfaction and revisit intention. As a result, a theoretical and comprehensive model that revealed the relationship between park satisfaction, park attachment and revisit intention was developed. It is thought that the results will guide local governments, managers responsible for parks and park designers in maintaining open-air recreation facilities and services in urban areas.

Halal tourism and coronavirus: understanding the influence of halal reputation and fear of COVID-19 on tourist’s revisit intention

“…Particularly, in a highly competitive environment, encouraging tourists to revisit is becoming increasingly important (Zhang et al , 2018). According to Çevik (2020), retaining customers is much better and cheaper than finding new customers. Consequently, in the context of tourism, persuading tourists who have already visited a tourist destination is a good strategy.…”

Pengaruh Manfaat Rekreasi Dan Atribut Destinasi Terhadap Kepuasan Wisatawan Serta Dampaknya Pada Niat Kunjung Kembali ( Revisit Intention) Di Masa Pandemi Covid 19

“…Sehingga Niat kunjungi kembali (revisit intention) menjadi perhatian pengelola destinasi karena wisatawan berulang lebih memilih untuk tinggal di suatu destinasi lebih lama, menikmati aktivitas konsumen lebih intensif, lebih terpenuhi, dan menyebarkan berita dari mulut ke mulut yang menguntungkan, sehingga membutuhkan biaya pemasaran yang jauh lebih rendah daripada pengunjung pertama kali (Hung Hung, Lee, dan Huang, 2016;Quintal dan Polczynski, 2010). Berdasarkan kajian penelitian terdahulu diketahui bahwa Niat kunjungi kembali (revisit intention) dipengaruhi oleh kepuasan wisatawan (Showkat, Mehraj and Qureshi;2021, Çevik ;2020, Simpson, Sumanapala, Galahitiyawe, Newsome dan Perera, 2020Jumanazarov, Kamilov dan Kiatkawsin;2020, Viet, Dang dan Nguyen, 2020Simpson, Sumanapala, Galahitiyawe, Newsome, dan Perera, 2020, Ubjaan, 2018Pratminingsih, 2014;Cahyanti, Sudarmiatin dan Siswanto, 2020;Nishan dan Zubair, 2016;Hui-Chuan and Hua, 2014;Dayour and Andogo, 2015;Prakoso, Pujiastuti dan Sadeli., 2020;Permana, 2018;Purnama dan Wardi, 2019;Zhang , Chen, dam Li, 2019;Wang, Wang, Chiu, Liou dan Yang, 2015;Chou (2013) recreation benefit (Yoon dan Uysal, 2005;Wang., 2015) dan atribut destinasi (Mahdzar, Shuib, Ramachandran dan Afandi, 2015;Rosid, Pratiko dan Syihabudhin, 2020;Singh and Singh, 2019).…”

Serial Mediation of Environmental Preference and Place Attachment in the Relationship between Perceived Street Walkability and Mood of the Elderly

“…Other research has suggested that place attachment plays a positive role in both nature and the urban environment for restorative perceptions [ 50 ], while attachment disruption may lead to negative feelings of grief or loss [ 54 ]. Moreover, a few studies have shown the mediating role of place attachment on the relationship between people and their surrounding environments [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. For example, Isa et al and other scholars have found the mediating role of place attachment on the relationship between environment satisfaction and revisit intention [ 57 , 58 ].…”

Other studies also suggested that place attachment partially mediates the links between the natural environment and mental health [ 59 , 60 ].…”
