To help plan museums effectively, this study investigated the underlying motivations and constraints and their impact on the perceived physical environment and visitor satisfaction toward a museum. The results suggest that the physical environment of museums serves as an axial mediator among motivations, constraints and visitor satisfaction. Six essential factors of physical environment are affected by motivations and constraints, further affecting visitor satisfaction in various patterns, in which architectural planning, exhibition, external environment, and entrance are clearly affected by basic motivations and constraints. Under motivations, family education and self-development are the most two profound influences on enhancing visitor satisfaction through the physical environment. Shops and café are worth special attention in meeting motivation of attractiveness, occasion and social interaction. The results could support the planning and design of a satisfactory museum. Keywords: learning-based tourism; science museum; motivation; constraint; museum planning; physical environment (PhE); visitor behavior; visitor satisfaction 1. Introduction In recent years, the role of the modern museum has transformed from the traditional functions of collection, exhibition and research into an emphasis on leisure, education, aesthetic experiences and entertainment [1–3]. On the other hand, a museum may have something different to offer from other leisure and tourism products, through unique features such as outdoor exhibitions or cultural learning experiences [4]. Economic, cultural and social demands also push museums to deal with the issues of visitor experience and profitability [3]. To create a pleasant museum experience, museum planners and managers must pay considerable attention to visitor satisfaction and service quality [5]. The latter has always been regarded as key to gaining a competitive edge in the service industry [6]. However, it is impractical to use the conventional generic assessment scale for service quality to evaluate individual satisfaction and quality of physical environment in a modern museum [7]. As museum managers tackle challenges emerging from limited

  • Traditions and Transformations May 19-May 22, 2019
    2019 TAASA Annual Conference Traditions and Transformations May 19-May 22, 2019 Wyndam San Antonio Riverwalk San Antonio, TX TRADITIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS BIENVENIDOS! WELCOME! We’re excited you’re joining us over the next three days as we begin the journey of bravely and critically embracing change and growth in the work we do in our programs and the services we provide to survivors of sexual violence. In this conference we set out to examine and explore the significance, practice and intersections of Traditions and Transformations in the anti-sexual violence movement, and understand why it’s important to centralize experiences of survivors in these contexts. We also wish to acknowledge that justice and healing come in many forms and that traditions can often perpetuate social structures and institutions that limit culture change in our movement and the systems we work in. Let’s come together this week in meaningful dialogue about the ways in which we have structured our responses to sexual violence and lovingly challenge ourselves to explore new ways of collaboration, connection and community healing. This year we are proud to bring together 49 workshops and two keynote sessions representing the experience and knowledge of 87 presenters. We hope with each breakout you will find a variety of workshops to create opportunities for connection and reflection in your work. We also hope you will find opportunities to explore and enjoy the rich culture and traditions of our host city San Antonio! San Antonio is steeped in a 300-year history that embraces its diverse culture, rich traditions and welcoming spirit.

Betsson is turning 50. If you’re wondering how it can be possible for an Internet company that started its online operations in the late nineties to turn 50, I can explain. Betsson was previously called Cherry and worked with land-based gam- ing. Later, the company chose to focus fully on online gaming and divested the old land-based part, which is still called Cherry. Despite this refocus, the heritage is strong and very much present everyday through our main owners, who founded the company back in 1963. This heritage has given us a unique understanding of the business we are in, and we use the experi- ence and knowledge in everything we do. In this edition of Betsson Magazine, we will give you some insights both in how we operate today, as well as how we have done it for the past 50 years, through a historical review of the Group.
