Visitor complaints due to the recreational ATVs(All Terrain Vehicles) has been a major management issue in the Bomoon Tourist Complex in Gyeongju. This kind of problem has long been conceptualized by leisure researchers as recreation conflicts, which provided theoretical frame for this study. In order to examine the recreation conflict held by different recreationist groups in Bomoon, namely walking visitors and ATV riders, two sets of questionnaire was prepared. Overall 357 visitors in Bomoon participated in the survey, comprising 191 walking visitors and 166 ATV riders. T-test and regression analysis were performed to determine the important conflict inducing factors and recreation conflict's differences, coping behavior, and restriction method at the Bomoon Tourist Complex's walking road.
