| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 自然資源與環境學系 === 101 === Swallow Grotto Trail is one of Taiwan's attractive sceneries. Every holiday, the very large amount of tourists cause the decline of recreation quality. The purpose of the paper is to investigate how crowding perception varies for travelers in Swallow Grotto Trail with different amount of tourists and how travelers’ characteristics affect their crowding perception and the tolerance. In order to find the best carrying capacity, the data is collected by Visual Simulation Method and analyzed through SPSS The results were as follows:
1. Different backgrounds (education levels and nations) affect tourists’ crowding perception.
2. Under the same number of travelers, the spatial distribution of different tourists will affect tourists crowding perception. Tourists feel more crowded when the distance with others get shorter.
3. The highest carrying capacity for Swallow Grotto Trail is around 26. The manger could control tourist numbers by using triage system or selling tickets.
