本研究之主要目的在藉由回顧國內外休閒遊憩觀光的研究,探討出近年來休閒遊憩觀光研究的重心、問題及未來方向,以作為後續研究者的研究參考。本研究從過去六年間所發表的 期刊及碩博士學位論文中搜尋出414篇進行分析,並針對論文的研究主旨、調查方法、抽樣方法、統計方法、信度效度分析等五項進行檢視工作。研究發現國內外的研究在研究主旨上略有差異,其他四項則大致雷同。研究也發現,在國內研究的部份常出現研究問題的明確性、文獻回顧的評論性、研究架構的根據性、抽樣方法的執行性、統計方法的解釋性、研究結果的討論性等方面的問題。本研究最後提出建立本土性的休閒遊憩觀光基礎資料、休閒遊憩觀光專屬理論的建構、重視質性的研究、重視新興休閒遊憩觀光產業及活動的相關研究等四項未來研究的建議。
The main purpose of this study was to discuss the research interest, research flaws, and future research directions for leisure, recreation, and tourism field. The study totally reviewed 414 papers collected from different periodicals and theses during past six years. The indicators for the analyses and comparisons between Taiwan and foreign countries included research interest, survey method, sampling method, statistical method, and reliability/validity. The results showed that there were only few differences found on the research interest when comparing Taiwan's researches with other countries'. The results also indicated that there were six major research flaws found in Taiwan's researches, including the clarity of research problem, criticism of literature review, originality of research framework, execution of sampling, explanation of statistical results, and discussion of study results. Finally, the study proposed four suggestions for future studies.
