对休闲模式的研究很少关注海滩行为及其决定因素。本文开发了一个概念模型，强调海滩游览与个人特征、地理可达性、沿海知识、与沿海环境的相互作用以及对自然的态度之间的关系。我们通过对洛杉矶县居民的调查来探索这个以文化多样性、大量移民人口和丰富的海洋野生动物为特征的城市沿海地区的海滩活动。 Tobit 分析的结果表明，海滩使用率因年龄、种族/民族、阶级和移民身份、家与海滩之间的距离以及海滩休闲活动偏好而存在显着差异。对自然的态度也会影响在海滩度过休闲时间的决定，并值得休闲研究得到更多关注。
Studies of recreation patterns have rarely focused on beach-going behavior and its determinants. This paper develops a conceptual model emphasizing relationships between beach-going, and individual characteristics, geographical access, coastal knowledge, interaction with coastal environments, and attitudes toward nature. We use a survey of Los Angeles County residents to explore beach-going in this urban coastal region characterized by cultural diversity, large immigrant populations, and a rich assemblage of marine wildlife. Findings from tobit analysis suggest beach use rates vary significantly by age, race/ethnicity, class, and immigrant status, by distance between home and beach, and by beach recreational activity preferences. Attitudes toward nature also shape decisions about spending leisure time at the beach, and warrant more attention in leisure research.
