Motivational factors for recreational fishing, the profile and life satisfaction level of recreational fishers and non- participants of fishing in Turkey

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de Rekreasyonel Balıkçılıkla (RF) uğraşan erkek bireylerin profillerini ve yaşam doyumlarını (LS) ve bu bireyleri Rekreasyonel Balıkçılığa (RFG) yönelten motivasyonel faktörleri belirlemek ve rekreasyonel balıkçılıkla uğraşan ve uğraşmayan (NPF) bireylerin LS’lerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemi 359 RF, 284 NPF toplam 643 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonucuna göre, bireyleri rekreatif balıkçılığa motive eden önemli faktörler “doğayla baş başa olmak”, “dinlenme”, “sağlığımı pozitif etkilemek”, “şehirden uzaklaşmak” ve “mutlu olmak”tır. Bireyleri RF’e motive eden faktörle ile demografik değişkenler ile LS arasında istatistiki olarak bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Buna ilave olarak RF ve NPF’lerin LS’leri karşılaştırıldığında, demografik değişkenlerden “medeni durum”, “eğitim” ve “balık yakalamaya kimle gidildiği” arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Bireyleri RF’e motive eden faktörler demografik değişkenlere bağlı olarak değişmektedir. Bu çalışmanın sonucu olarak, rekreatif balıkçılık bireylerin yaşam doyumlarını arttırmaktadır.

Bireyleri rekreasyonel balıkçılığa motive eden faktörler, rekreasyonel balıkçılıkla uğraşan ve uğraşmayan bireylerin profilleri ve yaşam doyum düzeyleri: Türkiye örnek uygulaması

The aim of this study is to examine the profile and the life satisfaction (LS) of male Recreational Fishers (RF) and to find out the motivational factors for participating in recreational fishing (RFG) in Turkey and compare the LS of RF and non-participants of recreational fishing (NPF). The sampling of this study consisted of 359 RF, 284 NPF, totally 643 participants. As a result of this study, it was found that the major factors motivating for fishing are “commune with nature”, “relaxation”, “to affect health positively”, “to get away from demand”, and “to be happy”. It was found that the factors motivating for fishing have statistically meaningful correlations with demographic variables and LS as well as each other and there are statistically meaningful differences among groups of the demographic variables as marital status, occupation, and with whom one goes for fishing, RF and NPF. Namely, strength of the factors motivating people for fishing is dependent to the demographic variables. Furthermore, it was found statistically meaningful correlations between LS and the demographic variables.
