Recreationist-environment fit and place attachment

摘要

Place attachment implies affective bonds between people and their surroundings, while R-E fit describes the compatibility between recreationists and recreation settings. Close connections exist between R-E fit and place attachment since R-E fit shares some common ground with critical antecedents such as destination attractiveness. However, related research that touches upon this issue is still sparse so far; therefore, this study proposed and tested the relationships between six dimensions of R-E fit and three dimensions of place attachment.
