自發式地理資訊於戶外遊憩的研究議題與趨勢
Research Issues and Trends in Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for Outdoor Recreation
摘要
自發式地理資訊（Volunteered Geographic Information, VGI）是由媒體使用者自主創建並自願公開分享的資料。這些透過數位平台分享，能反映使用者的行為和空間分佈，特別適合研究人煙稀少且範圍廣闊的自然保護區域的訪客活動。儘管VGI具有廣泛的應用潛力，現有的文獻尚未充分探討VGI在自然區域遊客行為研究中的重要性。本研究通過分析2002年至2021年間58篇相關文獻，運用內容探勘工具（Content Analysis Toolkit for Academic Research, CATAR）和NVivo工具解析VGI的資料來源和研究方法。研究結果辨識出三個主要研究主題：（1）探究遊客數量與資源特徵、（2）了解遊客的時空分佈、移動模式與影響資源使用的內外在因素，以及（3）監測自然資源的使用程度。結果顯示，學者們對主題一投入最多，而主題三雖為最早出現但研究量最少。本研究結果揭示了VGI在戶外遊憩領域研究中的應用價值，並指出未來研究的方向。

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) refers to data voluntarily created and publicly shared by users through digital platforms. This type of data, which reflects user behavior and spatial distribution, is particularly useful for studying visitor activities in remote and expansive natural protected areas. Despite the broad potential of VGI, existing research has yet to fully explore its importance in understanding tourist behavior in natural settings. This paper addresses this gap by reviewing 58 studies conducted between 2002 and 2021 that applied VGI in outdoor recreation management. Using the Content Analysis Toolkit for Academic Research (CATAR) and the qualitative analysis software NVivo, the study analyzed the sources of VGI data, research methods, and emerging trends. The analysis identified three key research themes: (1) examining tourist numbers and resource characteristics, (2) understanding tourists' spatial and temporal distribution, movement patterns, and the internal and external factors affecting resource use, and (3) monitoring the extent of natural resource use by visitors. Among these, the first theme has received the most research attention, with a focus on VGI data from social media platforms. In contrast, while the third theme was the earliest to emerge, it has received the least attention. The findings highlight the valuable role of VGI in outdoor recreation research, particularly in informing resource management strategies. By identifying key research topics and trends, this study offers insights for future research directions, emphasizing the need for a more comprehensive exploration of VGI's potential in this field.
