Recreation Facilities

Recently, in Japan, some owners of umi no ie (seaside shops) have started illegally occupying the shore for a large part of the year. This has resulted in the problem of the public nature of the beach being violated. In the present research, the following two points were studied. (1) Maintenance of beach facilities, such as restrooms, showers and dressing rooms. (2) Problems concerning the establishment of beach recreation facilities by private businesses, and solutions for these problems. For point (1), a survey was conducted on the maintenance conditions of beach facilities and the needs of beach users all over Japan. We found that users desire facilities such as restrooms and dressing rooms that can be used throughout the year. For point (2), there were problems concerning the procedures required for establishing facilities and conflicts in using such facilities provided by private businesses. As a solution to these problems, we proposed that the local government provide the facilities and private businesses manage the facilities.

Background:Neighborhood environment attributes of walkability and access to recreation facilities have been related to physical activity and weight status, but most self-report environment measures are lengthy. The 17-item PANES (Physical Activity Neighborhood Environment Scale) was developed to be comprehensive but brief enough for use in multipurpose surveys. The current study evaluated test-retest and alternate-form reliability of PANES items compared with multi-item subscales from the longer NEWS-A (Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale—Abbreviated).Methods:Participants were 291 adults recruited from neighborhoods that varied in walkability in 3 US cities. Surveys were completed twice with a 27-day interval.Results:Test-retest ICCs for PANES items ranged from .52 to .88. Spearman correlations for the PANES single item vs NEWS-A subscale comparisons ranged from .27 to .81 (all P < .01).Conclusions:PANES items related to land use mix, residential density, pedestrian infrastructure, aesthetic qualities, and safety from traffic and crime were supported by correlations with NEWS-A subscales. Access to recreation facilities and street connectivity items were not supported. The brevity of PANES allows items to be included in studies or surveillance systems to expand knowledge about neighborhood environments.

Kartini beach as a marine tourism in Jepara, Central Java that have beach attraction consist of natural environment area suitable for tourism. Its potency have opportunity to be developed as marine ecotourism. The current problem is increasing number of visitor each year that might degrades the environment. The aims of this reseacrh are to analyse tourism suitability and to assess carrying capacity of the Kartini Beach as beach tourism. This research was conducted in Desember 2016 – March 2017 at the Kartini Beach of Jepara. The methods uses analysis of land suitablity for beach recreation and carrying capacity analysis. The result shows that suitability index in location 1 to 3 are suitable with value about 48 % – 60 % as beach recreational area. The results of carrying capacity analysis of location 1 with total area of 0,22 ha is 176 people / day,  location 2 with total area of 0,1 ha is 80 people / day, and location 3 with total area of 0,13 ha is 104 people / day. The conlusions of this reseacrh are Kartini beach is suitable for beach recreation and the number of visitor has esceeds the ability of carrying capacity.  Keywords: beach tourism, land suitablity, carrying capacity, Kartini beach, Jepara
