Using an organising model, this subject builds the students' knowledge base so they can appraise and respond to key issues in visitor and crowd behaviour management. Core issues addressed include classification schemes to describe people in the crowd, leisure, tourism and recreation settings; analyses of motivation; destination and entertainment images and choices; studies of facility design including orientation; a review of conflicts; management by interpretation; cross-cultural interaction; and assessing satisfaction complaints and experiential outcomes. Sustainability issues and emic (participant) perspectives provide key reference themes throughout the subject.
