Development of Outdoor Recreation Resource Amenity Indices for West Virginia Jing Wang Thesis submitted to the Davis College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Consumer Sciences At West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Resources Jinyang Deng, Ph.D., Chair Chad Pierskalla, Ph.D. Steve Selin, Ph.D. Peggy Pings, Adjunct instructor Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Resources Program Division of Forestry and Natural Resources Morgantown, West Virginia 2008 Keywords: Amenity Index, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS), Outdoor Recreation Resources Abstract Development of Outdoor Recreation Resource Amenity Indices for West Virginia Jing Wang Tourism has been playing an increasingly important role in the economic development and promotion for the state of West Virginia. However, how tourism resources are spatially distributed across all the states’ 55 counties and have not received much attention. This study could be among the first of its kind in West Virginia to create an inventory database for 21types of major outdoor recreation/nature-based tourism resources, and spatially examine their distribution across counties. The quantity of tourism resources is determined by measuring their actual size, length, or number, and the quality of the resources is determined by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with consultation provided by West Virginia CVB directors. A four-level amenity index is created using the standard deviation method. In addition, the relationship between travel/tourism related economic benefits and amenity index values is also examined, though in a very simple manner. The results indicate that nature-based tourism resources are largely concentrated in the eastern state centering on the Pocahontas County. While it is found that nature-based tourism resources are positively related to economic benefits generated from travel and tourism, such a relationship is not significant when those gambling counties are considered. Research limitations and future research needs are discussed. ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to thank the many people who made this thesis possible. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and committee chair, Dr. Jinyang Deng, for his professional guidance, mentoring in my research, also for his patience and encouragements through the past two years. I would also like to express my sincere appreciations to my graduate committee, Dr. Steven Selin, Dr. Chad Pierskalla and Peggy Pings for their excellent guidance and constructive suggestions on my project with their knowledgeable experience. I will also thank Dr. Robert Burns for his help in my proposal. This project could not have been accomplished without the supports of all those CVB directors. I thank them all. Special thanks go to Mr. Bill Robinson, State Trails Coordinator of WV Division of Highways, for sharing with me a full list of local trails in the state. I also want to thank Ishwar Dhami and other graduate students in Room 339 for their help and encouragement; I really had a great time working with all of them. I would like to give my special thanks to my husband, Youbin Tu, whose patient love enabled me to complete my research work. Lastly, and most importantly, I wish to thank my parents, Tianyou Wang and Jianmin Zhang, for their boundless love and encouragement. To them I dedicate this thesis. iii Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ......................................................................................................................... iv List of Tables ................................................................................................................................ vi List of Figures .............................................................................................................................. vii Chapter 1.

In addition to providing open space and enhanced recreational opportunities to residents and visitors, the Trail will be designed to “thread” communities together along routes designed by the communities themselves. The Trail is expected to help the region continue to compete aggressively with other rapidly growing and quickly developing metro areas of the country by providing local amenities for area residents, visitors, and businesses.

  • The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31
    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

  • Upper Mon River Trail
    Upper Monongahela River Water Trail Map and Guide Water trails are recreational waterways on a lake, river, or ocean between specific locations, containing access points and day-use and/or camping sites for the boating public. Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote stewardship of the resources. Explore this unique West Virginia and Pennsylvania water trail. For your safety and enjoyment: Always wear a life jacket. Obtain proper instruction in boating skills. Know fishing and boating regulations. Be prepared for river hazards. Carry proper equipment. THE MONONGAHELA RIVER The Monongahela River, locally know as “the Mon,” forms at the confluence of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers in Fairmont West Virginia. It flows north 129 miles to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it joins the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River. The upper section, which is described in this brochure, extends 68 miles from Fairmont to Maxwell Lock and Dam in Pennsylvania. The Monongahela River formed some 20 million years ago. When pioneers first saw the Mon, there were many places where they could walk across it. The Native American named the river “Monongahela,” which is said to mean “river with crumbling or falling banks.” The Mon is a hard-working river. It moves a large amount of water, sediment, and freight. The average flow at Point Marion is 4,300 cubic feet per second. The elevation on the Upper Mon ranges from 891 feet in Fairmont to 763 feet in the Maxwell Pool. PLANNING A TRIP Trips on the Mon may be solitary and silent, or they may provide encounters with motor boats and water skiers or towboats moving barges of coal or limestone.
