Bu çalışmanın amacı stresle başa çıkma bağlamıyla açık alanlarda yapılan rekreasyon etkinliklerinde bireylerin boş zaman başa çıkma inanç ve stratejilerinin hedonik ve eudaimonik refahları üzerindeki etkisini bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada Iwasaki ve Mannell (2000) tarafından geliştirilen boş zaman başa çıkma inançları ve stratejileri modeli temel alınmıştır. Bu model kapsamında nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden faydalanılarak anket araştırması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Bitlis ilinde 07-15 Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında anket tekniğiyle 302 örneklemden elde edilen veriler analiz için uygun koşulları sağlamıştır. Toplanan veriler SmartPLS 4 İstatistiki Analiz paket programında en küçük kısmi kareler tekniğiyle irdelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, açık alan rekreasyon sürecinde boş zaman başa çıkma inançlarının hedonik refahı, stratejilerinin ise bireylerin hedonik ve eudaimonik refahlarını pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir biçimde etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu nedenle, kamu kurum ve kuruluşları başta olmak üzere, üniversitelerin, turistik destinasyonların ve rekreasyon yöneticilerinin açık alanları ve açık alanlarda yapılabilecek rekreasyon etkinlik sayılarını arttırmaları gerekmektedir.
