Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the pressing issue of managing increasing wilderness use while preserving both ecological integrity and recreational experiences. The author analyzes five distinct rationing systems - request, lottery, queuing, price, and merit, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Guidelines for responsible rationing are offered, emphasizing accurate data collection, considering less restrictive measures first, combining systems to minimize costs, and requiring users to assess the value of their wilderness opportunity. The book advocates for monitoring and evaluating rationing programs to ensure they effectively achieve their goals. Through these insights, the book provides valuable guidance to wilderness managers and policymakers seeking to strike a balance between use and preservation, ensuring the long-term health of these treasured landscapes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a study on how perceptions of wilderness carrying capacity differ among visitors to two distinct wilderness areas - the heavily visited Desolation Wilderness and the lightly used Spanish Peaks Primitive Area. Both areas draw visitors from diverse backgrounds who share similar socioeconomic profiles and recreational activities, yet their contrasting use levels have fostered unique perspectives on crowding and management strategies. The author analyzes visitor attitudes and preferences, highlighting the shared ideals of solitude and minimal social interaction. Despite these common values, visitors to the more heavily used Desolation Wilderness exhibit greater tolerance for higher use levels, adapting their expectations and behaviors to accommodate the increased presence of others. This perceptive examination of visitor perceptions challenges the assumption that wilderness carrying capacity can be objectively defined and emphasizes the need for flexible management approaches that adapt to the diverse needs and experiences sought by wilderness visitors. The study underscores the importance of understanding the dynamic relationship between use levels, perceptions of crowding, and the resulting management strategies employed in wilderness areas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the subject of managing wilderness recreation carrying capacity, a complex issue demanding careful consideration from resource managers. It acknowledges the inevitable changes that accompany wilderness use, extending the focus beyond solely ecological impacts to incorporate the social dimension of the experience. The author explores visitor perceptions of solitude, conflicts between user groups, the impact of large parties, and the dynamics of use and satisfaction. With an understanding that wilderness users hold different attitudes and definitions of what constitutes an appropriate wilderness experience, the book introduces a "purism" scale for classifying visitors based on their adherence to the wilderness ideals outlined in the Wilderness Act. This detailed examination of visitor attitudes provides valuable insights for land managers to balance preservation objectives with the growing demand for wilderness recreation. By defining the limits of acceptable change, informed decisions can be made regarding rationing or other management measures to preserve the wilderness experience while accommodating public use. The book's comprehensive analysis of visitor perceptions and preferences offers a structured approach to managing carrying capacity, ensuring a sustainable balance between wilderness protection and recreational enjoyment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by three Forest Service research scientists, explores the key issue of wilderness management in the US. The authors argue that up until the 1960s wilderness management was neglected in favor of wilderness preservation. Now, they say, it's important to manage these areas to preserve their natural qualities and provide solitude for visitors. The authors' aim is to present a comprehensive summary and synthesis of information about wilderness management, focusing particularly on the management implications of such work.
