Asthetische Wahrnehmung der Landschaft und Freizeitmotivation, oder wie beurteilen Wintersportler ihr Skigebiet im sommerlichen Zustand?

Two groups of tourists, summer vacationists and skiers, both in the alpine center of Berchtesgaden (FRG) were asked to judge a number of photos of the Berchtesgaden landscape in summer state. Summer vacationists were interviewed in summer, and skiers in winter, both while staying in the landscape (Q-sort-method). The results show that in general the diverse land use types, as shown in the photos, were aesthetically assessed by both groups in a similar way. However, clear differences in judgement have been detected with regard to ascent aids in the landscape, like furnicular railways, rope ways, ski-lifts etc, which were rated significantly more positively by the skiers. -from English summary
