  • Procedural justice and public involvement in natural resource decision making

    Rick L Lawrence, Steven E Daniels et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources1997Cited by: 19References: 8

    The public involvement programs of natural resource agencies have been broadly criticized as unresponsive to public desires. Historically, improving natural resource decisions has been the primary conceptual basis for designing public participation programs. However, the social psychological field of procedural justice suggests a new conceptual basis for public involvement that recognizes the importance of procedures as well as outcomes. This the…

  • The relationship between biophysical and social setting factors in the recreation opportunity spectrum

    John L Heywood, James E Christensen et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1991Cited by: 1References: 8

    Descriptions of the relationships between the setting components (biophysical and social) of the recreation opportunity spectrum can be taken to be unidimensional and linear. Data on biophysical and social setting preferences of campers were used to test whether campers’ preferences reflect linear arrangements of components or whether relationships are more complex. The results indicate that there are multiple linear and nonlinear relationships b…

  • Linking parks to people: The key to effective management

    George H StankeyARTICLESociety & Natural Resources1989References: 4

    As social institutions, parks have evolved greatly over the past century. Although a view of parks as instruments of sustained development is emerging, there remain strong ties to and beliefs in a conception of parks as separate from society. The article explores two aspects that support a view in which the linkages between people and parks are essential to effective park management. First, an understanding of the social and cultural context in w…

  • The ROS planning system: Evolution, basic concepts, and research needed

    B L Driver, Perry J Brown et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1987Cited by: 20References: 7

    This paper describes the evolution of the concept of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS)—a largely resource‐based approach to providing recreational diversity. It explains the needs of the USDA Forest Service and USDI Bureau of Land Management for a recreation resource planning system and relates those needs to the development of the ROS system to guide recreation planning of large areas. The basic concepts and tenets of the ROS system are …

    This paper describes the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) system, a framework for establishing acceptable and appropriate resource and social conditions in recreation settings.The LAC has been developed in response to the need of managers for a means of coping with increasing demands on recreational areas in a visible, logical fashion.The LAC also represents a reformulation of the recreational carrying capacity concept, with the primary emphasis…

  • Carrying capacity in recreational settings: Evolution, appraisal, and application

    George H Stankey, Stephen F McCoolARTICLELeisure Sciences1984Cited by: 12References: 10

    This paper traces the historical evolution of the carrying capacity concept. It argues that many of the fundamental propositions of the concept were understood and articulated early in its evolution. Of particular importance was the recognition that the relationship between visitor satisfaction and use levels was dependent upon the activities in which an individual participated, and the needs or desires that activity was to fulfill. The literatur…
