Community Resilience in Southern Appalachia: A Theoretical Framework and Three Case Studies
A Mixed Logit Model of Visitors' National Park Choices
The purposes of this study were twofold. The first estimated a mixed logit model of South Korean National Park choices to determine how park size and miles of trail affected the choice patterns of visitors to the 18 parks in the system. The second applied the resulting choice model to simulate how the distribution of visits would change in response to two hypothetical but possible scenarios. One scenario involved the hypothetical changes in the m…
The Influence of Site Design and Resource Conditions on Outdoor Recreation Demand: A Mountain Biking Case Study
We investigated the influence of several choice variables on the demand for six mountain biking sites in the Research Triangle area, North Carolina. In combining on-site data collected from users and land survey data from the sites, mixed logit analyses revealed both trail condition and site layouts significantly influenced users' site choices. Specifically, users favored sites with higher quality trail conditions and routes that were more challe…
The Effects of Place Attachment, Hypothetical Site Modifications and Use Levels on Recreation Behavior
This study integrates place attachment dimensions into a travel cost model utilizing stated preferences for various hypothetical scenarios involving site development and changes to current use levels at a Bureau of Land Management Special Recreation Management Area. We examine changes in intended behavior contingent on hypothetical scenarios and varying levels of place identity and dependence. Results suggest trip behavior to the area will either…
Examining the Effects of Hypothetical Modifications in Permitting Procedures and River Conditions on Whitewater Boating Behavior
In this study we combine a travel cost modeling approach with the surveyed stated preferences of whitewater boaters at the Chattooga River to examine the possible effects of six hypothetical modifications in river use permitting process or changes in river conditions on intended future trip behavior of respondents. To varying degrees, all of the hypothetical modifications in river use permitting (procedures and pricing) and changes in river condi…
Trip Response Modeling of Rock Climbers' Reactions to Proposed Regulations
Study results contribute to the recreation benefits literature for the sport of rock climbing. Also, reported is an application of a hybrid or trip response modeling approach. Respondent reactions (intended behavior) to regulatory changes in management plans at Crowder's Mountain State Park, North Carolina, are assessed. The proposed regulations address (a) the quality of rock climbing conditions, (b) variations in climbing areas to accommodate t…
Incidental Trips and Aquarium Benefits
This recreation demand study empirically tests the complementary nature of destination travel and single-day trips. Day-trips to North Carolina aquariums are treated as incidental to the primary destination trips to the North Carolina coast. Visitors would not have taken day-trips if the primary purposes of the vacation trips had not been taken first. Applying the individual travel cost method, a demand function is estimated with Poisson regressi…
Incorporating Users' Perceptions of Site Quality in a Recreation Travel Cost Model
The travel cost method is used to analyze the recreation demand for North Carolina trails. Incorporated in the demand model are users' perceptions of trail quality and their stated number of annual trips. Trail demand is specified with panel data that consists of two separate observations per respondent. Users' behaviors are analyzed by combining both data on the observed trip counts and stated trips. Stated trips are the number of trips a user w…
Recreation Demand and the Influence of Site Preference Variables
Leisure researchers' conceptions of how individuals make decisions involve an understanding of the personal tastes, motives, and private decisions that directly affect an individual's utility (satisfaction) of substitute site choices. Following recent theoretical advances in recreation demand, the participant is first viewed as deciding on the number of site trips to take per season and next, as deciding on how to allocate the trips across substi…
Recreation Benefits of Neighboring Sites: An Application to Riparian Rights
Travel cost methods cannot be utilized in deriving welfare benefits to house-holds who reside adjacent to recreation sites, for they have direct access to site benefits at virtually zero cost. Hedonic theory is applied to a housing market that abuts Hyco Lake, NC. The linear feet of shoreline is the unique attribute that localizes the lakeshore housing market from others. Regressing the annual rental prices of lakeshore homes on lot and housing a…
Outdoor Recreation Net Benefits of Rail-Trails
Net economic values were estimated with the individual travel cost method for user samples from three rail-trails in geographically diverse regions of the U.S. Estimates of rail-trail demands were derived from count data and continuous data models. Model specifications included travel costs, activity variables, and other user group characteristics. In general, recreation users valued rail-trails located in rural areas more highly than in suburban…
A Boating Choice Model for the Valuation of Lake Access
This study reports results from the applications of a discrete choice method to alternative choice processes individuals go through and the factors that are considered when making boating decisions. The discrete choice or random utility model for studying outdoor recreation demand is described. Using a random household-based sample of registered boat owners living in the region surrounding the Catawba River Basin in North Carolina, we test our as…
