  • Public Acceptance of Access Restrictions to Grizzly Bear ( Ursus arctos ) Country

    Bonita L Mcfarlane, R Craig G Stumpf-Allen et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2007

    Variation in attitudes and preferences among communities has been cited as a primary consideration for the development of grizzly bear management plans in North America. We undertook a study in 2004 to determine if there were differences among two rural populations and an urban population on the issue of grizzly bear management in Alberta, Canada. Results from a mail survey showed that there was a greater diversity of views and potential for conf…

  • Measuring Community Forest-Sector Dependence

    Richard C Stedman, Richard Stedman et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2007Cited by: 4References: 8

    This study compares four community forest-sector dependence indices available to identify the degree of forest-sector dependence: proportions of employment and income earned in the sector, and economic base calculations that use employment and total income measures. For all four approaches, we use the most recent census data for all census subdivisions in Canada. The findings suggest that the choice of methodology matters in terms of the communit…

  • Women Hunters in Alberta, Canada

    Bonita L Mcfarlane, Bonita Mcfarlane et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2003

    Women hunters represent a small but increasingly important constituent for wildlife management agencies.

Results show that a core group of women exhibit commitment to hunting by purchasing big game licenses and that a pr…

  • Some Aspects of the Anatomy of Alberta's Hunting Decline

    Peter C Boxall, David O Watson et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2001

    There is concern in Alberta about the decline in the numbers of recreational hunters. In this article information from the agency's computerized licensing system is examined to shed some light on this decline. This information is useful because from 1990 to the present the agency required hunters to purchase a lifetime identity number. Tracking the activity of every licensed individual provides useful information about participation. Although the…

  • Past Experience and Behavioral Choice Among Wilderness Users

    Bonita L Mcfarlane, Peter C Boxall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research1998Cited by: 11References: 8

    The amount of past experience in a recreation activity or setting has been associated with setting preferences, but has not been a good predictor of site choices. Research suggests that other factors such as social influences and constraints (Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992) might have more influence than past experience or setting preferences on site choice. This study examined the association between recreational choice behavior, past wilderness exp…
