Perceptions And Use: A Survey Of Visitors In The Lakes Management Area, Kamas Ranger District, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Utah, Ronald E. Vance

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

New planning and management paradigms for the USDA Forest Service suggest that future Forest Plans incorporate the best available science and the public's values into Forest Plan revisions. Revised plans should focus on the ecological capabilities of the land and how to sustain them. The means to manage the land for these outcomes should be developed with considerable and ongoing public involvement. One outcome of this public involvement can be the development of a "desired future condition" for the area being managed and the needed regulations to maintain and monitor the desired conditions.

In order to provide preliminary information on …

Site Suitability Analysis For An Intermountain Solid Waste Facility: A Study For Cache County, Utah, Joseph B. Campo

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The goal of this project was to analyze Cache County for potential sanitary landfill sites covering the period 2020 to 2120. The county population and per capita solid waste were estimated. The minimum landfill size was then calculated.

A geographic information system (GIS) was used for data storage and vii analysis. Relevant data were gathered. Areas which would not support a landfill were eliminated. Remaining sites were rated as having slight, moderate, or severe restrictions for use as an area method sanitary landfill based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Sanitary Facility Report, and the NRCS Soil Interpretations Rating …

The Legal Environment For Landscape Architecture In Utah, Jeffrey J. Scarborough

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper explores and delineates the legal environment for the practice of landscape architecture in Utah.

Figures allow comparisons to be made between the various government levels to demonstrate contradictions and congruencies, as well as the clarity of the ordinances. Major findings include significant differences among the city and county regulations of landscape architecture and the related professions, and weaknesses in the state law for landscape architecture. Major recommendations …

Guidelines For Roadside Revegetation To Create Wildlife Habitat In Northern Utah, Lars D. Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many species of wildlife use roadside vegetation as habitat. The ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) utilizes roadsides for all types of cover. Because pheasants are nonmigratory and generally live their entire lives within a 1- to 2-mile radius, pheasants are excellent indicator species to predict both quantity and quality of roadside wildlife habitat. Pheasants were introduced to Utah in the late 1800's. Populations climbed until pheasant habitat occupied 2-4 percent of the total land area in Utah. Populations began to decrease in the 1950's. Since 1962, pheasant populations in Cache County, Utah have dropped 2.71 percent annually. Experts believe …

The Evaluation And Review Of Landscape Architectural Faculty: The Results Of A Survey Of Schools Of Landscape Architecture, Gary O. Robinette

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications - Archive

The first standards for the evaluation of educational programs developed by the American Society of Landscape Architects contained a call for the evaluation of faculty effectiveness. In the intervening years, there have been efforts by the various educational programs to continue to find the most effective methods for measuring faculty competence. However, to-date there has been no collection or organization of these devices used either by students, by peers or by university administrators in this profession. This, then, is the first attempt to do just that and it has involved four phases, which were: the development of the questionnaire, the …

A Proposed Analysis Of Planning Factors Within The Interpretive Planning Process, Christopher W. Sands

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Every year, millions of people visit parks and preserves and in the process, learn about the natural and cultural resources of these areas. These resources typically include, but are not limited to, unique features of geology, hydrology, wildlife, vegetation, and historical and prehistorical influences. Many of these resources may be fragile, which is often the reason for park or preserve establishment, and therefore vulnerable to the impacts created through uncontrolled visitor use. If these resources are not protected from improper recreational use, the activities have the potential to influence the species composition and diversity of vegetation, soil properties and stability …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The present investigation examined the current water demand characteristics and the future water demand of Cache Valley, Utah for the time period of 1990-2010.

Linear regression, extrapolation, and alternative futures forecasting methods were applied and the various results compared against each other. Three different scenarios were calculated for residential demand to represent different sources and composition of demand information. It was determined that consideration of water demand data excluding Logan City provided the best statistical description of water demand. …
