“…Management regulations seem to influence future opportunities for users in several ways, whether they will stay in the same area or replace the area with a new one, as several earlier studies of recreational opportunity in protected areas have shown (Schindler & Shelby 1995, Schneider & Hammit 1995. For the strategy "track restrictions" in central areas of DSNP, where visitors have a negative impact on vegetation or wildlife, we find that the group of visitors that hike along marked tracks (HIKING) and women (GENDER) would prefer to find another recreational area than DSNP.…”

The increasing demand for visiting wilderness areas often requires management actions that both conserve the natural resources and ensure a high quality visitor experience. Many of the alpine national parks in southern Norway hold the last remaining populations of wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Europe. Therefore management needs more effective tools to reduce or remove recreational impact on wild reindeer populations. Management actions should also consult research-based knowledge on visitors. Therefore, this study explores the link between visitor motivations and their attitudes towards management actions on track-related -The strategy of 'area restriction' is highly controversial for local communities, due to their long tradition with subsistence harvesting, grazing and traditional agriculture; therefore such a strategy will receive only low approval among the locals and leave the management with low legitimacy at the local level.-The strategy of 'management of the track system' will affect most non-local visitors, but these visitors are more flexible in adapting to a new trail system in the area, or may shift to another area.-Visitors with strong place attachment, as well as wilderness seekers who desire solitude are difficult to influence with physical management actions.-A management strategy that will limit the area of use and behaviour of off-track visitors should include information about ecosystem vulnerability.4

“…The next distinction in coping identified in source literature is between active and avoidance coping (Endler & Parker, 1990;Carver & Connor-Smith, 2010). A review of the research on the relationship between exploration of wilderness and coping indicates that, in particular, problem-solving strategies play an important role (Manning & Valliere, 2001;Miller & McCool, 2003;Schneider & Hammit, 1995;Schneider & Stanis, 2007).…”

“…People who perceive the level of risk in the wilderness as high can subjectively experience fear (Priest, 1990(Priest, , 1999. Thus fear can be one of the main elements involved in outdoor adventure (Brymer & Oades, 2009;Ewert, 1988;Schneider & Hammit, 1995;Schneider & Stanis, 2007;Slanger & Rudestam, 1997). Moreover, Cater (2006) states that risk is not the major issue in ''play'' with their own fears.…”

This article presents a new tool-the Wilderness Courage Scale. The Wilderness Courage Scale is a scale that diagnoses undertaking activity in dangerous natural environments, despite personal fears. The validity of the Wilderness Courage Scale was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The results of factor analyses verified the one-factor structure. The questionnaire's internal consistency and intercorrelations were also tested. The Wilderness Courage Scale correlates with sensation seeking, some personality traits, and coping forms. The author discusses the findings in regard to the Wilderness Courage Scale as an instrument to measure exploration of dangerous natural environments. However, further studies need to be carried out in other sample groups to further validate the scale.

“…Caltabiano (1994) argues that individuals may take this into consideration when choosing activities in which to participate. Moreover, some scholars point out that engaging in a leisure activity does not always have a positive effect, as some leisure can actually cause stress (Schneider & Hammitt, 1995). For example, the 15 presence of friends or co-workers may cause stress especially if the activity requires skills a person lacks, when the individuals involved simply do not enjoy each other's company (Caltabiano, 1994;Glover & Parry, 2008;Iwasaki et al, 2002;Iwasaki & Mannell, 2000), or when they engage in coerced leisure.…”

Meditation as a kind of leisure: the similarities and differences in the United States

Meditation has been shown to be a cost-effective means to help individuals 10 reduce stress, alleviate anxiety and depression. Similarly, leisure has been found to reduce stress, improve mood and contribute to overall health and well-being. The similarities and differences in outcomes between meditation and leisure suggest that a comparative analysis may determine if and how experiences and outcomes of meditation may be similar to and different from those of leisure and 15 provide deeper insights into the ways in which both can contribute to improved quality of life. The purpose of this study is to examine the similarities and differences in meditation and leisure as perceived by a range of individuals engaging in meditation. Results indicate that meditators experience stress reduction, emotional balance and an enhanced quality of life during both their leisure and medi-20 tation. Many of the positive experiences and outcomes derived from meditation render it very similar to leisure. Nevertheless, meditation and leisure also differ in several important ways.
