  • How Sensitive Are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information About Hiking Destinations? José J
    Journal of Forest Economics, 2020, 35: 19–41 How Sensitive are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information about Hiking Destinations? José J. Sánchez1 , Kenneth Baerenklau2 and Armando González-Cabán1* 1USDA Forest Service, Pacifc Southwest Research Station, 4955 Canyon Crest Drive, Riverside, CA 92507, USA 2School of Public Policy, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA ABSTRACT This study uses individual survey data to investigate the impact of information about hiking destinations on estimated wilderness values in a spatial context. The data is derived from a revealed preference survey of backcountry visitors who responded to ques- tions about their recreation behavior in the San Jacinto Wilderness of southern California. Two GIS data layers are developed showing spatial representations of non-market values derived from a Kuhn- Tucker demand model, with and without destination information. Each pixel in each data layer contains an estimate of the recreation value at that location. The destination data provides more detailed information on recreation behavior that can be used to more accu- rately allocate the landscape values. Results show that including destination information produces signifcantly greater heterogeneity in parcel value estimates for large areas of the wilderness. Keywords: GIS, Kuhn-Tucker demand system model, Nonmarket valuation, Web-based survey, Viewshed analysis *Correspondence author: José J. Sánchez, [email protected].

  • Seen Areas and the Distribution of Fires About a Lookout
    SEEN AREAS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF FIRES ABOUT A LOOKOUT Romain M. Mees Standard procedures for the evaluation of fire lookouts have been time consuming and frequently highly subjective. A com- puter simulation model for evaluating existing lookouts has been described in another paper (Mees 1976). In addition to using the con~putationof gross and net discovery indexes as explained PACIFIC I there, the manager can analyze existing and proposed lookout sites using an estimate of the distribution of past fires with re- I spect to distance from the lookout.

Illustration by Jim Carrol. FOREWARDS This ethnographic overview represents a significant and innovative con- tribution to studies of culture history in the California Desert. The authors have succeeded in synthesizing archival and contemporary materials into a unique ethnographic research document. A number of systems models have explored the interaction between the Native Populations of the Southern California and the physical environment in which their cultures developed. This volume contributes significantly to understanding these human relationships to the land and its resurces in a portion of traditional Cahuilla territory. We offer special thanks to the Native American consultants who in conjunction with the efforts of Dr. Lowell Bean, Sylvia Brakke Vane and Jackson Young, made this report possible. Robert M. Laidlaw Anthropologist Bureau of Land Management, Sacramento, CA I wish to thank all of those who have supported the archaeology program in the California Desert in its efforts to print and disseminate cultural resource data to the general and professional public. Among those are, Gerald Hillier, Bruce Ottenfeld, Bary Freet, Ronald Keller, and Bill Olsen. A special note of thanks goes to Clara Stapp who did the petroglyph drawing from a photograph taken by Robert Laidlaw. I hope that in these days of constrained budgets that the reprinting and dissemination of Cultural Resource Reports will be further accomplished and encouraged by management and staff alike.
