Download or read book Wildland Recreation written by William E. Hammitt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative guide to understanding and managing the ecological impacts of recreational activities in wildlands This third edition provides an updated and thorough examination of the ecological impacts of recreational use on wildlands and the best management practices to employ in places where recreation and preservation of natural conditions are both important - and often conflicting - objectives. Covering the latest research, this edition provides detailed information about the environmental changes that result from recreational use. It describes spatial patterns of impact and trends over time, then explores the factors that determine magnitude of impact, including amount of use, type and behavior of use, and environmental durability. Numerous examples, drawn from parks and recreation areas around the world, give readers insight into why certain areas are more heavily damaged than others, and demonstrate the techniques available to mitigate damage. The book incorporates both the first-hand experience of the authors and an exhaustive review of the world’s literature on the subject. Boxes provide quick access to important material, and further resources are referenced in an extensive bibliography. Essential reading for all park and protected area management professionals, this book is also a useful textbook for upper division undergraduate and graduate students on recreation ecology and recreation management courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. National Forests are experiencing increased visitor use. Though this trend has many positive outcomes, it also increases the pressure placed upon existing outdoor recreation resources. Therefore, timely and geographically targeted monitoring is essential to identifying environmental impacts from visitor activities. This study offers such an approach to allow for identification of impact severity and spatial extent, visitor behavior, perceptions, and values in the case of camping in the Allegheny National Forest. It contributes evidence that can be utilized for implementing effective mitigation measures that can help reduce impact while maintaining or increasing visitor experiences. Specifically, the goals of this investigation were to: 1) document the physical environmental impacts at each campsite, 2) assess on-site users' perceptions and behaviors, and 3) use this data to inform recreation resource management decisions. Quantitative and qualitative methods were necessary to understand the complex nature of recreation resource management. Quantitative data were collected from three areas within the Allegheny National Forest whose designations varied between intensity of use and activity. This data displayed that impact intensity will increase with higher use and less management intervention. The qualitative data were collected through questionnaires provided to on-site users. The results of which indicated that the users were content with the current conditions of the surrounding environment and plan on returning in the future. This study reinforces the idea that management strategies must be implemented in order to maintain an ecologically healthy environment when recreation occurs within it. Of equal importance is that the management strategy should not detract from the user's desired experience. Findings from this study emphasize the need for continual monitoring of environmental conditions and continual assessment of visitor perceptions when managing wilderness for outdoor recreation activities.

This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1970s, in response to rapidly increasing visitor use and proliferating impacts, the condition of all campsites in the backcountry of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks was assessed by park research staff. All campsites were located and assigned to one of 273 different subzones; their condition was assessed on the basis of eight impact parameters: vegetation density, vegetation composition, total area of the campsite, barren core area, campsite development, litter and duff, social trails, and tree mutilations. In 2006 and 2007, to ascertain trends in impact, the campsite survey was repeated in 120 of the 273 subzones (44% of the wilderness).

Download or read book Evaluating Methods for Measuring Visitor Perceptions of Ecological Impacts at Wilderness Campsites written by Bo Shelby and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine whether visitor perceptions of ecological impacts at wilderness campsites could be accurately measured using photographs or written descriptions rather than actual site evaluations. Photographs and written site descriptions of 20 campsites were used to measure perceptions of two forms of campsite impacts (bare ground and fire rings). Live site evaluations were used as the criterion for evaluating the photographic and description approaches. Four hundred fifty wilderness visitors were interviewed to assess perceptions of campsite preferences and other background variables. Twenty campsites in two different areas of the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness were selected, 12 for bare ground and 8 for fire rings evaluations. Both hikers and horse riders were sampled to see if there were significant differences between the two groups. Evaluative standards were also established for the impacts in question, based on respondents' perceptions. Findings suggest that photographs and written descriptions can be used in place of site visits for evaluating specific impacts at campsites. For evaluating more general characteristics such as desirability or preference, however, there are more differences between the on-site and off-site methods. Horse riders were more tolerant thah hikers of large amounts of bare ground and large fire rings, and preferred sites with fire rings over sites without them. Evaluative standards were established for acceptable levels of bare ground and size and appearance of fire rings at the two study locations. Visitors found sites without fire rings or bare ground to be less acceptable than sites with small amounts of bare ground or small fire rings. The importance of bare ground and fire rings was compared to the importance of other physical campsite characteristics, such as view of scenic features, quality of tent site, shelter from weather, and proximity to other camps. Visitors ranked the impacts in question less important than other physical characteristics when evaluating campsites. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are offered.
