Abstract

This research constitutes a first trial to examine the impact of public park visit motivations, constraints, and constraint management strategy use on park visitation in South Korea and Asia, and was conducted to compliment the lack of research on public parks.  A self-administered questionnaire survey was administered in ten popular public parks in Seoul.  Four hundred thirty one questionnaires were finally utilized for data analysis, for which a structural equation modeling technique was used.  The results suggest that park visit constraints play a negative role, while park visit motivations and constraint management strategy use play a positive role in encouraging a park visit.  The author recommends further investigation on the specific role of motivations, as motivations did not play a positive role in leisure activity participation in some other studies.
