- W80079132 abstract "Interpretation is an approach of communication used in most national parks andrecreation areas to reveal information, create awareness and overcome park problemssuch as littering and vandalism. An experimental study was conducted to determine therole of developed interpretive signages in conservation knowledge, awareness andbehavior among visitors at Penang National Park (PNP). Interpretive signage with threedifferent theme and storyline were designed using Tilden’s interpretation principles andwere placed along PNP’s existing trails as treatment. The questionnaire survey wasconducted before and after the visitors entered the park through Pasir Pandak entrance.The questionnaires were divided into three main sections and designed based on humanbasic psychological theory (belief, attitude and behavioral) to measure visitors perceptiontowards natural environment, emotional effect and human rights. Similar set ofquestionnaire was used for before and after survey to observe differences in terms ofrespondents’ agreement. Respondents were divided into two groups, which weretreatment and control groups. Treatment group was the target group to observe impact on effectiveness of interpretive signage towards their conservation awareness and attitude.Control group was the group who did not received any treatment during the study. About266 pairs of questionnaires were collected from both groups which consisted of 228 pairsof the treatment group and 38 pairs of control groups. Results showed that most of bothrespondents were between 18 to 28 years old, students in tertiary education with monthlyincome of less than RM500 per month. Majority of these respondents came to PNP togather some valuable experience and for enjoyment with friends. Overall, each sectionsof questionnaire showed significant differences and typically the impact of developedinterpretive signage on visitors’ conservation awareness was highly influenced by theiremotions. Results indicated that the respondents became more aware after they receivedthe treatment. The impact of developed interpretive signages showed that they would takeseveral actions as their new belief/perception towards natural resources such as givingadvices to anyone or visitor who dropped litter in PNP’s natural area and willing to pickup any litter which they found along the trails. Impact on respondents’ knowledge can beobserved when they realize that large numbers of visitors in a period of time wouldimpact the resource. Initially, findings from this study proved that the impact oninterpretive signages had essentially enhanced conservation awareness among the visitorsand can be useful as a linkage for visitors to share their awareness and appreciationtowards natural resources" @default.
