Impacts, standards, and perceived crowding on the Deschutes River : extending carrying capacity research

Creator:: Whittaker, Douglas P.
Abstract:: In response to increasing recreation use, many resource managers have set use limits or carrying capacities in an attempt to protect the quality of experiences. These limits require definitions of quality which involve evaluative information about appropriate use levels or use conditions. Two papers are presented examining different approaches for...

An analysis of alternative methods of nonmarket valuation : applications to whitewater recreation

Creator:: Bregenzer, Neil S.
Abstract:: This study analyzes and compares alternative methods of valuing nonmarket goods. Using a 1985 study of Rogue River non-commercial whitewater recreationists, benefit estimates of recreational use for this lottery-rationed river are derived using the zonal travel cost method (TCM) and the contingent valuation method (CVM). Two different techniques of the...

Investigation of the presence and change over time of water quality parameters in selected natural swimming areas in Oregon

Creator:: Van Ess, Erica
Abstract:: Few studies, and none in Oregon, have examined the presence and change of water quality parameters over time in popular natural swimming areas. This information is necessary to better understand water quality and risk of illness from either fecal contamination or cross-infection from other swimmers. The purpose of this study...

Management implications of displacement and product shift : longitudinal research on the Rogue River

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce A.
Abstract:: While resource managers often rely on feedback from recreation users on which to base long-term decisions, displacement (when users dissatisfied with crowding or resource impacts move on to more remote sites) and product shift (users respond to increased densities by changing their definition of the recreation experience) are viewed as...

Geographic variations in water quality and recreational use along the upper Wallowa River and selected tributaries

Creator:: McDowell, Theodore R.
Abstract:: Physical, chemical and bacterial water quality parameters of the upper Wallowa River were sampled periodically between July 2, 1978 and June 9, 1979 at nine stream and lake sampling sites. Water upstream from Wallowa Lake was typified by low nutrient concentrations ( generally below detectable limits except for nitrates), low....

Encounter norms in more developed river settings

Creator:: Martinson, Kristen S.
Abstract:: Much of the research on social carrying capacity in recreation settings has focused on backcountry or primitive areas where recreationists' perceptions of social contact are a critical element of a quality experience. A challenge now facing resource managers and planners is to apply what has been learned about social carrying...
