An approach to monitoring and evaluating the environmental performance of Australian beach resorts
Tourism, in Australia and globally, is a growth industry. With this growth has come concern for the implications of tourism for resources and for people exposed to the periodic influx of visitors. As a result, the tourism industry has experienced increased scrutiny in regard to environmental management and efforts are being made to achieve more sustainable forms of tourism development. Reflecting this trend, a number of beach resorts along the Au…
Recreation specialization reexamined
Measurement of recreation specialization has been limited to the observation and recording of behaviors associated with activities and has ignored, to a large extent, individual affective attachment to participation. This article reports on the development of a construct called recreation involvement, which includes measures of both prior participation history and affective attachment (enduring involvement). In recognition of the multidimensional…
Private sector involvement in irrigation agriculture
Water and coal industry, environment and institutions in the Hunter Valley NSW
Salinity and Basin Management in Southeastern Australia
Intensive irrigation in southeastern Australia has led to widespread waterlogging and salinity in Murray-Darling basin. Measures to mitigate effects are hampered by political fragmentation. Creation of a water authority for basin may be an appropriate solution. USTRALIAN water policies are undergoing a fundamental reappraisal. Water remains key element in many national and regional developmental programs, but uncritical attitudes of past are bein…
Tourism and the Australian economy
Tourism for the Handicapped
Tourism facilities should be provided to all segments of society. Handicapped deserve it allthemore as they have ample leisure and can afford it, too. The paper deals with the definition of the term ‘handicapped’, and suggests measures for improvement in the infrastructure for them
American involvement in the Australian cotton growing industry, 1962–72
American involvement in many aspects of Australian agriculture is increasing. Apart from capital investment, growing numbers of Americans are seeking a new ‘frontier’ across the Pacific and are having a powerful impact on the pace and scale of rural development in Australia. Australian cotton growing was most affected by the entry into the industry of U.S. growers and expertise in the 1960s, the stimulus for which can be found in positive and neg…
Rural recreation space
Increasing pressure on public resource-based recreation areas, coupled with budgetary constraints and a scarcity of suitable land, have led some countries to consider alternative means of providing rural recreation space convenient for urban populations. In Australia, opportunities exist to create national reserves thereby encouraging rural landholders to permit use of selected sites for recreation purposes as a complement to national parks. Desp…
Tourism and Crime
In many parts of the world the scale of tourism is increasing and with it the potential for significant repercussions in host communities. One of the undesirable social consequences often assumed to flow from tourism is an increase in crime at resort destinations. A spatial and temporal analysis of the occurrence of crime was undertaken at selected tourist resorts in Australia to determine whether, and to what extent, tourism and crime are relate…
Variability in Crime Rates
Although crime statistics are relatively less developed in Australia than in many other advanced western nations, the information that is available suggests that crime is on the increase. To talk of overall crime rates is, however, to overlook important differences between crimes, between geographical areas, and between different time periods. Examination of crime statistics for the New South Wales north coast reveals just how difficult it is to …
Environmental implications of tourism development
Beach resort morphology
Data collection for recreation travel research
Environmental impact analysis and resource management
Environmental impact analysis is becoming a familiar requirement for project appraisal as a necessary complement to engineering and economic studies. This paper reviews progress in the refining of procedures for environmental impact assessment and raises a number of policy considerations which need attention before the technique is more widely accepted. The problem of quantification of impacts and the degree and manner of public involvement in th…

Policy implications for water resource management in Northwestern New South Wales
(1973). Policy implications for water resource management in Northwestern New South Wales. Australian Geographer: Vol. 12, No. 4, pp. 299-308
Groundwater quality and irrigation
Aspects of the quality of groundwater are discussed as they relate to its use in irrigation agriculture. The major criteria of water quality considered are the total concentration of soluble salts and the relative composition of the constituent minerals present, and the effect of these on plant growth and bore equipment is outlined. Extensive use is made of groundwater for irrigation in Australia and the water quality situation in a part of the N…
