Synopsis
This book explores river recreation and user preferences through a series of standardized procedures for assessing characteristics and preferences of river recreationists. It illustrates how data generated by these procedures can be useful in river recreation management and planning. The author describes how to determine the intensity of use, distribution of use, kinds of use, who the visitors are, where the visitors are from, what they seek in their experience, management problems that exist, conflicts in use, if visitors feel crowded, environmental impacts they see, managerial practices they support, satisfaction levels, and other concerns they have. The book discusses potential monitoring trends and includes forms used in data collection such as a mail questionnaire and an onsite data collection form. The author concludes by emphasizing how the data can be used to understand the needs of recreational river users, make informed decisions about management strategies, and ultimately preserve the enjoyment of river recreation while minimizing environmental impacts.
