本研究目的主要在於分析不同人口統計變項之登山健行參與者，其參與登山健行活動的動機、持續涉入以及幸褔感之影響情形。本研究採問卷調查方式，以台南縣中興林場登山健行者為對象，採系統抽樣法進行調查，共計獲有效問卷414份。統計方法系以描述統計、t考驗、以及單因子變異分析來驗證本研究所建構之假設。經統計分析後，本研究有以下的發現：一、參與登山健行者，其登山健行「參與動機」以及「持續涉入」活動，會受到婚姻狀況、年齡、以及教育程度所影響。二、在參與活動感受「幸褔感」方面，不同婚姻狀況以及年齡之登山健行者，其感受就有明顯的不同。根據上述的分析結果，本研究不僅對休閒活動規劃者以及提供者提出實務上之建議，亦對未來有興趣之研究者提出具體之後續建議。
