Korelasi Aktivitas Membaca di Tempat dan Sirkulasi Buku berdasarkan Klasifikasi terhadap Frekuensi Kunjungan Perpustakaan

<jats:p>This study examines factors influencing library visit frequency in the digital era, where declining reading interest and changing user behavior pose significant challenges. It analyzes the relationship between on-site reading, book circulation by classification, and visit intensity, while identifying the most influential factors driving visits. A quantitative correlational design with a non-parametric approach was applied using secondary data from the Inlislite system of the Metro City Library and Archives Service, covering January 2023 to August 2024. Spearman correlation was employed to assess the strength and direction of relationships among variables. The findings reveal that on-site reading activity has a very strong positive correlation with visit frequency. Collections in literature, social sciences, and religion show moderate correlations, whereas pure and applied sciences exhibit no significant relationship. These results highlight the strategic importance of reading spaces and popular collections in fostering user engagement. This study provides practical implications for library management, including optimizing reading areas, aligning collections with user interests, and promoting underutilized materials. It contributes to the literature by integrating reading, circulation, and visitation dimensions into a unified data-driven framework to support adaptive and user-centered library services.</jats:p>
