Evolving conceptions of the role of large dams in social-ecological resilience
Rivers and riparian ecosystems have historically provided a range of beneficial goods and services to human societies. However, floodplains have also posed risks to the humans that came to rely upon them. Although riparian areas are among the most resource-rich and biodiverse ecosystems, they are also some of the most disturbed by human activity. Today, social and economic needs for water diverted off-stream are often pitted against the flow of w…
Neighborhood Design, Physical Activity, and Wellbeing: Applying the Walkability Model
Neighborhood design affects lifestyle physical activity, and ultimately human wellbeing. There are, however, a limited number of studies that examine neighborhood design types. In this research, we examine four types of neighborhood designs: traditional development, suburban development, enclosed community, and cluster housing development, and assess their level of walkability and their effects on physical activity and wellbeing. We examine signi…
Multiple use management: Using a GIS model to understand conflicts between recreationists and sensitive wildlife
The management of natural resources involves the integration of physical, biological, and sociological information. Computerized geographical information systems (CIS) offer the capacity to combine this information. GIS has the potential to be a powerful wildlife management tool for integrating recreational and biological information. This study develops a recreational use model using data from a traditional recreational survey and a mountain she…
Comparing live experience with pictures in articulating landscape preference
This study defines the dynamic variables affecting landscape perception. Twenty‐five respondents were taken along a trail in southern Indiana through sixteen representative settings, providing preference ratings for each. They were also asked to articulate their feelings about the sites. The same group repeated the study in a laboratory using slides. The resulting data were analysed to determine to what extent dynamic variables were affecting pre…
