From the Perspective of High-Risk Leisure Environment: A Study of the Impact of Green Education Literacy on River Water, Ecology, Surrounding Rural Economic Development, and Youth Well-Being

This study aims to discuss the impact of green education literacy on lake water, rural economic development, and youth well-being in a high-risk leisure environment. A mixed methods approach was adopted. First, a questionnaire was developed and 650 samples were tested using SPSS 26.0 statistical software for basic statistical testing and Pearson's correlation analysis. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted to collect opinions from experts, tourists, residents and others. Finally, multiple verification analysis was used for discussion. The results found that although the existing economic, construction and watersports industry development scales around rural rivers can promote green leisure education literacy to drive rural development effectiveness. However, river water, ecological and green space resources can temporarily satisfy youth leisure needs. However, if river watersports leisure industries can be further increased, and related watersports leisure activities or tourism developed, it can provide youth with more diverse leisure choices, increase leisure benefits, and obtain feelings of happiness and well-being.
