The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of perceived value on intention to revisit and construct own garden, satisfaction, and satisfaction on intention to revisit and construct own garden. Results indicated that the perceived value of garden showcase at garden festival are good predictors of visitors behavior change. Thus, the most significant contribution of this study is a theoretical understanding with empirical results using the new factors of perceived value of garden festival, satisfaction and behavior intention to revisit and construct own garden in the contact of the modified TRA.
