Abstract
In order to maintain and manage the different landscapes and use them for recreational purposes it is relevant to understand the preferences and behavior of recreational movers on the island Terschelling. This research investigates what the preferred landscape types of the recreational movers on the island Terschelling are, how their spatial behavior relates to this and whether or not respondents with different nature images (Wilderness, Arcadian, Functional view) have different landscape preferences. This is researched by means of a questionnaire and the usage of a GPS tracking system in order to track the recreational walkers’ spatial behavior. In general the most preferred landscapes were those of the dune and beach area. Most respondents fitted within the Wilderness perception, followed by the Arcadian perception, only a few respondents fitted the Functional perception. To some extent positive as well as negative links were found between the nature images and the landscape preferences.
