The Impact Of Rural Nebraska Industrial Development On The Migration Of Rural Youth, Armin K. Ludwig, Gene M. Hanlon, David R. Dimartino Dec 1978

The Impact Of Rural Nebraska Industrial Development On The Migration Of Rural Youth, Armin K. Ludwig, Gene M. Hanlon, David R. Dimartino

Publications

For more than a century Americans have migrated from the rural communities in which they were raised, but by 1970 this process had begun to change. Nebraska, however, has not reflected this change, and Nebraskans have continued to leave non-metropolitan areas in large numbers. By 1976 the State stood alone among seven central and southern plains states in having non-metropolitan population losses (Miller, 1978).


A Study Of Boat Ownership In The Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area, Paul S. T. Lee, Chen Yeshen Dec 1978

A Study Of Boat Ownership In The Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area, Paul S. T. Lee, Chen Yeshen

Publications

Continuing increases in leisure time, income, greater mobility, levels of education, and general health have whetted and nourished the American appetite for outdoor recreation activities. Statistics indicate that almost every American engages in one or more recreation activities when he or she is at all able. Measured by the number of recreation occasions, American outdoor recreation activity increased by 53 percent between 1960 and 1965. From 1965 to 1980, it will increase by another 59 percent. With more and more Americans continuing to turn to outdoor recreation activity, pressures on public and private recreation resources and facilities far exceed previous …
