Abstract:
The population for this study was tourists from four leisure farms in Southern Taiwan. Out of 400 distributed questionnaires, 347 usable responses were received, indicating a valid response rate of 87%. Regarding the ranking of tourists’ cognition toward crisis event seriousness, the statistics results show that the possibility of “getting attacked by wild bugs” ranked first, followed by “the lack of maintaining and checking children playing facilities causes injuries”. However, low cognition was observed on the item “get attacked by raised animals”. In terms of the ranking of tourists’ cognition toward crisis event precautious capability, the best capabilities were “the lack of maintaining and checking children playing facilities causes injuries” and “getting attacked by wild bugs”. On the contrary, the worst precautious capability was “dangerous trails (e.g., roadways are easy to cause slip and fall/too steep/dangerous topography)”. In addition, the findings indicate that different background variables (e.g., gender, age, educational background and marital status) exert significant differences on tourists’ cognition toward crisis event seriousness and precautious capability on leisure farms.
