Pheasant Habitat Improvement Through Multiple Land Use Planning On Cache Valley Farmland, Shannon B. Heath
Pheasant Habitat Improvement Through Multiple Land Use Planning On Cache Valley Farmland, Shannon B. Heath
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In Utah, the number of farms has been steadily decreasing since the 1930's while farm size has grown and mechanization increased (Utah Agricultural Statistics, 1981). The "family farm" is beginning to disappear as larger farms become more economical (McCorkle, Jr., 1981). Due primarily to this trend toward more intensive land use, habitat for the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is on the decline (Kellert, 1981). In addition, changes which have occurred in crop production since 1950 have not favored pheasant production (Nish, 1973). It is of critical importance that attention be drawn to the conservation of pheasant habitat if the future …
Analysis Of Processes To Determine Site Suitability For A Marina At Bear Lake, Charles J. Houghten
Analysis Of Processes To Determine Site Suitability For A Marina At Bear Lake, Charles J. Houghten
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this thesis was to determine the criteria necessary for an analysis of site suitability for locating a marina at Bear Lake. Once criteria were defined and pertinent resource factors collected, a method to analyze the criteria was utilized to aid in the selection of the best site for locating this marina. Various methods to analyze site suitability were evaluated and the pros and cons of the chosen approach, a cluster analysis of existing resource transect data with hypothetical transect criteria, were discussed. Based on this study, no optimum sites were located at Bear Lake for a marina …

While conducting fieldwork in southern Idaho during the summer of 1980, I came upon numerous examples of a type of cabin not previously documented. This report attempts to determine how this type fits with other known cabin types, and to find its place in present theories about American vernacular architecture. By making use of extant reports, historical photos, and archeological site forms, it is apparent this cabin type can be found throughout the Rocky Mountain region. Along with other Western studies, this report attempts to show that vernacular construction patterns in the Western United States differ from those present in …
