  • Environmental attitudes, motivations, and contingent valuation of nonuse values

  • The role of fairness in users’ assessments of first‐time fees for a public recreation service

    Ronald E McCarville, Stephen D Reiling et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1996Cited by: 6References: 18

    User response to first‐time fees for public leisure services is not well understood. Although it is believed that fees decrease recreation participation, there is only mixed support for this assumption within the leisure literature. An emerging literature suggests that perceptions of fairness may play a critical role in determining client response to fees. A mail survey conducted among 1,405 visitors to public recreational day‐use areas across th…

  • Measuring the discriminatory impact associated with higher recreational fees

    Stephen D Reiling, Hsiang‐Tai Cheng et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1992Cited by: 4References: 9

    Higher fees for publicly provided outdoor recreation facilities have the potential of forcing low‐income users to reduce their use of the facilities more than for higher income users. Some low‐income users may be forced to stop using the facilities altogether. However, to our knowledge, no studies have been designed specifically to test for the presence of this type of discriminatory impact among current users. In this article we present an appro…

  • Species substitution and question sequencing in contingent valuation surveys evaluating the hunting of several types of wildlife

    Kathleen Boyle, Kevin J Boyle et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1990Cited by: 1References: 6

    One of the first lessons in any economics course is that prices of substitute commodities matter. For example, the magnitude of estimated values for a specific recreation area may be substantially affected by the availability of substitute sites. This basic lesson of economics is often overlooked in the design of contingent‐valuation questions. Assumptions regarding the prices of substitutes become implicit in designing surveys and are rarely mad…

  • The Influence of Information on Users' Attitudes Toward Campground User Fees

    Stephen D Reiling, George K Criner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research1988Cited by: 14

    Public agencies that provide outdoor recreational facilities are seeking additional sources of funding to operate existing facilities and to provide new recreational opportunities. Higher user fees is one potential source of additional funds. However, negative reactions to higher fees on the part of the using public have been cited as one of the barriers to increasing fees. This paper examines users' attitudes about current fee levels and whether…

  • Measuring the Costs of Publicly Supplied Outdoor Recreation Facilities

    Stephen D Reiling, Mark W Anderson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research1983

    Several studies have been completed that measure the cost associated with providing outdoor recreational facilities operated by the public sector. These studies may become more numerous and more important in the near future due to the changing fiscal situation at the federal, state and local levels of government. Agencies must know the makeup of current costs to determine if cost saving measures are feasible and to analyze the potential of user f…
