There were 419 valid samples. The objectives of this research were to analyze the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on park safety cognition, the differences of safety cognition among several recreational motivation groups, and recreational safety model of the Metropolitan Park at night. The analysis technologies were factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, T-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.
The major findings showed: (1) Visitors of the age "20-29 years old", students, or unmarried have less sense of safety. However, gender had no significant difference on safety in Taichung Metropolitan Park at night. The park had using experience aspect, visitors of staying for 30 minute, accompany with friends, or compels had lower safety cognition.
