Manager And Visitor Perceptions Of Public Recreation Land Management, Rick Gage

National Environment and Recreation Research Symposium

Preliminary analysis indicates that management goals are not as diverse as expected and there seems to be a much stronger emphasis on development and visitor satisfaction than protection of natural resources. Further, it appears to be the case that both visitors and managers experience and can identify user-manager conflict at this recreation area. Results of these interviews will be used …

Indeed, it is essential to understand the meanings of festivals from the patron’s standpoints since their perceptions are associated with the …
