AB - The aims of this study are to explore perceptions and adaptive behavior of leisure tourists in the context of climate change and have a further examination of the relationships between perceptions and adaptation in the riverside setting. Following a qualitative research, a total of 312 bicycle users were face-to-face interviewed in the downstream of the Han River, Korea. A principal factor analysis was firstly employed to reveal four perceived factors (i.e. mitigation policy, extreme climate, social psychology, environmental change) and three adaptive behavior (i.e. give up/postpone/reduce cycling, shifting place, changing activity). The findings are valuable to the context of climate change, leisure and tourism which have been lacking in the current research. A multiple regression analysis was then used to indicate that perceived mitigation policy has effect on changing activity and shifting place, while perceived extreme climate influences bicycle users to give up/postpone/reduce cycling and change activity. However, there were found any effect on adaptive behavior when bicycle users perceived both social psychology and environmental change, suggesting that bicycle users are largely unaware of their impact on those factors. Based on these results, academic/practical implications and future research are discussed.
