Petit, Joshua D.

Abstract:

Forests face health threats from pests and diseases (e.g., mountain pine beetle, emerald ash borer, chestnut blight [CB], Swiss needle cast), and other issues such as climate change.

Wild Waters : Perspectives on Oregon’s Marine Reserves as Marine Wilderness Areas

Creator:

Johnston, Jennifer R.

Although social factors influence marine protected area success, the human dimensions of marine wilderness remain minimally explored. This thesis examines views of marine wilderness expressed by a representative sample...

Perceptions of protection : coastal resident cognitions concerning new marine reserves in Oregon

Creator:

Perry, Elizabeth E.

Abstract:

Protected area creation, including creation of marine reserves (MRs), is increasingly molded by ecosystem based management (EBM) that integrates biological and social information in the pre and post establishment phases. Collecting social data from large and representative samples of the public (as opposed to other stakeholder groups) before establishing a...

Encounters, norms, crowding, management, and behavioral responses of visitors at coastal state parks in Oregon

Creator:

Mouw, Wesley J.

Abstract:

With the baby boomer cohort retiring and arguably having more time for outdoor recreation, coupled with population increases and government agencies encouraging people to recreate outdoors, areas such as state and national parks will likely continue seeing high visitation. It is imperative, therefore, for outdoor recreation managers and researchers to...

Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have been created to encourage companies to engage in behaviors that mitigate environmental impacts (e.g., recycling, emissions reduction). Many ski areas participate in the Sustainable Slopes Program, an initiative that promotes VEPs in the ski area industry. Past research has addressed the performance of VEPs in...
