Wilderness Campers' Perception and Evaluation of Campsite Impacts.
Farrell, Tracy; Hall, Troy E.; White, Dave D.
Journal of Leisure Research, v33 n3 p229-50 2001
Interviewed campers regarding their perceptions of impacts to vegetation, soil, and trees, comparing campers' measurements of vegetation loss, mineral soil exposure, tree damage, and site size with managers' evaluations. Most campers noticed vegetation impacts, and about half noticed soil impacts and tree damage. Most commented positively about conditions, particularly the functional benefits of impacts. Campers' and managers' evaluations differed significantly. (SM)
