Abstract

There are two main aims of this study; first; define the validity and reliability of “the Motivational Factors Scale for participating in recreational Trekking activities -MFST”; and “the Benefits Scale of participating in Trekking activities - BST”; second; find out the impacts of MFST on BST.

As a result, the Motivational Factors Scale for participating recreational Trekking activities, the Benefits Scale of participating in Trekking activities were reliable and valid in the estimation of the motivational factors and benefits of participating in trekking for the Turkish population.

 

Özet

Bu çalışmanın iki temel amacı vardır, ilki; bireyleri “Doğa Yürüyüşü Yapmaya Motive Eden Faktörler Ölçeği-MFST” ve bu faaliyetlere katılarak “Elde Edilen Faydalar Ölçeğinin- BST” Türk popülasyonu için geçerlilik güvenirlilik çalışması yapmak, ikincisi de, MFST ile BST arasındaki ilişkiyi gösterir regresyon modelinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır ve bu çalışma sadece doğa yürüyüşçüleri ile sınırlıdır.

Araştırma sonucuna göre, MFST’nin bireyi doğa yürüyüşü etkinliklerine motive eden faktörlerin açıklanmasında, BST’nin de bireylerin doğa yürüyüşünden elde ettikleri faydaların açıklanmasında Türk popülasyonu için yeterli oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır.    Neden-Sonuç ilişkisi açısından, Nedenlerin Faydalar üzerine etkileri de araştırmanın temel yapılma gerekçesini açıklamaktadır.
