The central purposes of this study were to review the
historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential
learning theory, and to determine the effect and
application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory
as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990.
It was found that Kolb based his...
Impact studies that examine the economic effects within a community of development projects such as a new hotel are usually confined to a fiscal analysis of local government costs and revenues. But increasing emphasis on the total environment-social, biological, and business-calls for an appraisal of broader impacts within the community...
Before developing a plan or deciding to add facilities to increase tourist potential, ask the question, "Is it worth it? Will tourism do for this community what we want done?''
The cost-benefit technique balances costs against benefits to show the estimated net effects of a plan. The study may be...
In analyzing tourism, we want to know how many visitors will be coming to visit and how much they will spend, so that we can evaluate:
• Whether existing facilities can handle the visitors expected.
• Whether it will be profitable to make preparations for increased tourists.
It is important...
The money tourists spend in a community is the benefit which people probably recognize most readily. Other benefits might include improved recreation facilities, expanded cultural and social opportunities, and pride in one's community, but additional dollars provide the usual appeal for tourism development. These dollars benefit sectors throughout the community,...
Many online learning environments use prerecorded video lectures as a primary mode for disseminating learning content. Despite the commonality of this lecture-based video format, it is not clear to what degree video length and the incorporation of active learning elements influence learner success. We investigated the efficacy of segmenting pre-recorded...
The effects of prescribed underburning on soil total C pools, total and inorganic N pools, and in situ net N mineralization were examined during a 1-year study in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex P. & C. Laws.) sites that had been experimentally burned 4 months, 5 years, or 12...

The physical framework or matrix in which the biological processes of aquatic ecosystems occur is currently under investigation at the Castle Lake Research Station. Special attention has been given these physical parameters in view of their close interrelationship with important biological properties within the lake (as exemplified by the rate...
The concept of nature as capital is gaining visibility in policies and practices in both the public and private sectors. This change is due to an improved ability to assess and value ecosystem services, as well as to a growing recognition of the potential of an ecosystem services approach to...
