Structural Analysis on Users' Evaluation to the Environment in Beach Use

Comparison in the Style of Use and Characteristic of Users

Abstract

This study clarifies whether the users' evaluation structure on coastal spaces varies in the “style of use” and the “users' characteristics”. Through the covariance structure analysis based on the stated preference survey data about the coastal use, there exists a certain level of difference, and the importance is stressed to grasp both the expected style of use and the users' characteristics for better development planning.
