Estimating regional recreational demand for forest recreation sites in Ankara province with travel cost
Öz
This research aimed to quantify the regional forest recreation demand and
to determine the variables affecting the recreation demand using the regional
travel cost approach. Ankara province, which has forest recreation areas such
as national parks, nature parks, forest picnicking sites, urban forests and
many other outdoor recreation sites in terms of substitution relations were
selected as study area. The research covers 16 forest recreation sites,
including one national park, five nature parks, seven forest picnicking sites,
three urban forests, and other substitute recreation sites. The main research
data were collected by on-site and off-site surveys with two questionnaire
forms which were conducted 312 actual users in forest recreation areas and 556
potential users residing in the districts of Ankara. Two regional demand
functions based on the regional (multiple site-zonal) travel cost approach were
estimated for forest recreation activities, mainly picnicking, with multiple
regression analyzes. Then second-stage demand curve were drawn with
hypothetical increases in the travel costs by using the regional recreation
demand functions. This curve derived for all the users shows that the travel
cost increases up to ₺503 have positive effects on revenues from the forest
recreation sites as the arc elasticity values in this range are between 0.01
and 0.75. However, the travel cost increases of ₺755 and above results in
reducing revenues where the elasticity, where the arc elasticity values are
larger than 1.00. Substitutional relation among recreational sites was proven
in the research.
