ABSTRACT ZECK, ADRIAN MICHAEL. Examining Users' Preferences
ABSTRACT ZECK, ADRIAN MICHAEL. Examining Users’ Preferences, Perceptions, and Attitudes on a Multi-Jurisdictional Rail-Trail. (Under the direction of Dr. Roger L. Moore.) Instances of trails managed by multiple governmental agencies (i.e., multi-jurisdictional trails) are becoming increasingly common. However, researchers have focused little attention on the users and use of these important recreation resources. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of a multi-jurisdictional trail near a growing metropolitan area by profiling the users and trail use, examining their choices, attitudes, and perceived benefits along the trail. The particular focus was determining the importance of various factors in users’ choices of which trail section(s) they use and determining users’ awareness of and attitudes toward the multi-jurisdictional nature of the study trail. A purposive sample of visitors to the multi-jurisdictional American Tobacco Trail near Durham, NC participated in an on-site and then a follow-up questionnaire to provide the study data. Study results revealed that multi-jurisdictional awareness and preferences differ somewhat by activity type. Specifically, runners have more concern than bicyclists and walkers for trail-wide consistency in terms of bathroom facilities and availability of drinking water. However, runners have less concern than bicyclists for consistency in terms of parking facilities and on- site information about the trail. These results should help inform the planning and management of such trail settings and, thereby, help increase the benefits they can provide. © Copyright 2012 by Adrian Michael Zeck All Rights Reserved Examining Users’ Preferences, Perceptions, and Attitudes on a Multi-Jurisdictional Rail- Trail. -

SOUTHEAST GREENWAYS and TRAILS SUMMIT Durham, NC October 1-3, 2017 #Segreenways WELCOME from the East Coast Greenway Alliance
SOUTHEAST GREENWAYS AND TRAILS SUMMIT Durham, NC October 1-3, 2017 #SEGreenways WELCOME from the East Coast Greenway Alliance. Moving Our Great Region Forward. As someone who grew up in rural North Carolina a couple dozen miles from Durham, I’m proud to welcome you to the Triangle for our first-ever Southeast Greenways & Trails Summit! It’s exciting to showcase the Triangle’s national leadership in Greenway development - a model we can all build on throughout the South to solve today’s challenges to public health, the environment, and our economy. Sedentary lifestyles have increased obesity dramatically these last few decades as people lack safe routes to bike and walk to daily destinations. Many of the rivers that provide our drinking water are threatened by pollution and rising stormwater stresses as millions more people move to our region. And in these partisan times, division is creeping too far into our communities as many urban and suburban economies grow faster than rural areas. The greenways and trails we are developing are key to a win-win future. We can move our region forward together by learning from and inspiring each other at this Summit and then fanning out into our beloved communities to make a difference. At the East Coast Greenway Alliance, we care about the South and believe we can improve the quality of life throughout the region’s Greenway corridor and beyond. We can increase tourism that not only provides jobs but also celebrates what makes our region so great – from BBQ, peaches, and Key lime pie to the rich cultures that have been here for millennia and those much newer to our region, from the beautiful forests along the Haw River where I grew up to the ancient Appalachian Mountains and our spectacular beaches. -
