    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • A Meta-Analysis of the Recreation Experience Preference Scales
    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 1996 1996, Vol. 28, No. 3, pp. 188-213 National Recreation and Park Association Measuring Leisure Motivation: A Meta-Analysis of the Recreation Experience Preference Scales Michael J. Manfredo B. L. Driver Leader, Human Dimensions in Research Social Scientist, U.S. Forest Natural Resources Unit, Colorado Service, Rocky Mountain Forest and State University Range Experiment Station, Fort Collins, CO Michael A. Tarrant Assistant Professor, Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies, School of Health and Human Performance, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA One approach to studying the motivations for leisure is to focus on the desired goal states that are attained through participation in leisure. The Recreation Experience Preference (REP) scales were developed for measuring these goal states. In an attempt to provide a summary integrative analysis of the structure of the REP scales, the present study conducted a meta-analysis of 36 studies that have used REP items. The studies were used to obtain population estimates of correlations between scale item pairs. Correlations were then used as input to confirmatory factor analysis that tested the structure of domains (item group- ings that represent a broad goal construct) and the structure of scales (within- domain item groupings that represent dimensions of the broader goal con- struct) established in previous research. Results provided support for the a priori domain and scale structures. Inter-item correlations were computed for do- mains and scales and compared "within" and "between" clusters. The results show high average inter-item correlations within scales and domains and rela- tively low average correlations between domains and scales.
