Abstract

Gopeng is a district located in Perak, Malaysia. The area was frequently visited by tourists for recreational activities such as camping. However, the risk of accidents at the campsite may occur due to negligence on the part of the campsite management or the visitors themselves. This study addressed a rising issue of increased accidents at campsites, due to poor infrastructure maintenance and lack of safety guidelines. The study used two types of data analysis, descriptive analysis and ANOVA.This needs to be emphasized because camping activities require careful and appropriate safety management in the area. The objective of this study was to examine the perceptions and awareness of visitors toward safety management at the selected campsite at Gopeng. The study was expected to contribute to the improvement of safety management practices at the campsite. By using a quantitative method, a survey was distributed to every visitor that stayed overnight at the Gopeng campsite. In total, 199 respondents were collected intensively over a period of six days, starting on September 10 till September 16. Overall of this study shows that the campers generally have a positive perception of safety at the Gopeng campsite in Perak. The findings indicated that campers were well-informed about safety management and potential risks. However, the study also identifies specific areas for improvement in safety facilities and equipment. Therefore, the study provides valuable insights into the awareness and perceptions of safety at the campsite and understanding the level of awareness among visitors to enhancing safety practices at the campsite.
