야외 레크리에이션 이용의 편견과 관용 및 갈등의 관계-MTB이용자를 조우한 등산객을 중심으로-

초록

This paper explores the relationship between prejudice, tolerance, and conflict of hikers who encountered MTB users based on the Goal Interference Theory by Jacob & Schreyer(1980). 305 hikers in Mt. Suri were examined to understand the essence of their conflicts with MTB users. Results showed that hikers’ conflict with MTB users were divided into two: behavioral and environmental conflict. Results of structural equation modeling analysis were: first, prejudice had a negative influence on tolerance, but not any effect on conflict directly, which means tolerance mediates the relationship between prejudice and conflict; second, tolerance negatively impacted on conflict. Thus, tolerance as a factor influencing recreational conflict was re-verified, and also prejudice was newly verified as a factor affecting tolerance. Study results implied that the causal structural relationship between conflict, tolerance, and prejudice was unearthed. Managerial efforts to mitigate recreational conflict and to promote tolerance by reducing prejudice are needed.
