Visitor complaints due to the recreational ATVs(All Terrain Vehicles) has been a major management issue in the Bomoon Tourist Complex in Kyungjoo. This kind of problem has been known as recreation conflicts in leisure studies, and the most widely adopted conceptualization was offered by Jacob and Schreyer(1980) referred to as goal interference model. In order to examine the recreation conflict experienced by different recreationist groups in Bomoon, namely walking visitors and ATV riders, two sets of questionnaire was prepared. Overall 357 visitors in Bomoon participated in the survey, comprising 191 walking visitors and 166 ATV riders. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine important factors inducing conflict and 16 variables were included in the analysis. The result shows five and three of the sixteen variables were significant enough in generating conflict for walkers and ATV riders respectively. Also, the sixteen variables correctly classified 95.2% of the walking visitors who reported conflict and 98.5% of the ATV riders who did not reported conflict.핵심용어(Key words):도보산책자(Walking visitors), ATVs(All Terrain Vehicles) 레저갈등(Recreation conflict), 목적방해이론(Goal interference theory), 갈등유발요인(Factors inducing recreation conflicts)
