Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed: (1) what, if any, standards the National Park Service has for its lodging facilities and how they are applied; (2) how common industry standards for maintaining the condition of hotel and motel facilities compare to the Park Service's standards; and (3) the condition of lodging facilities in national parks when evaluated by common industry standards. GAO noted that: (1) the Park Service has standards for lodging facilities located in national parks and generally conducts formal evaluations of the condition of these facilities at least twice a year; (2) if problems are identified during these inspections, follow-up inspections are done to determine if the deficiencies were corrected; (3) a final evaluation of a concessioner's performance is also completed at the end of the year; (4) the Park Service's and industry's standards for inspecting the condition of lodging facilities are generally similar; however, industry's standards impose requirements for additional amenities, furnishings, safety, and security; (5) some of these additional industry requirements were available in many park lodging facilities; (6) Park Service officials told GAO that not all of the industry's standards, such as providing a television in every room, should apply to lodging facilities in the national park system; (7) however, the Park Service is revising its standards to include more industry requirements; and (8) generally, when evaluated by common industry standards, the condition of lodging facilities in national parks varies among parks and within parks.

Book Mallparks

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michael T. Friedman
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2023-07-15
  • ISBN : 1501769316
  • Pages : 430 pages

Download or read book Mallparks written by Michael T. Friedman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mallparks, Michael T. Friedman observes that as cathedrals represented power relations in medieval towns and skyscrapers epitomized those within industrial cities, sports stadiums exemplify urban American consumption at the turn of the twenty-first century. Grounded in Henri Lefebvre and George Ritzer's spatial theories in their analyses of consumption spaces, Mallparks examines how the designers of this generation of baseball stadiums follow the principles of theme park and shopping mall design to create highly effective and efficient consumption sites. In his exploration of these contemporary cathedrals of sport and consumption, Friedman discusses the history of stadium design, the amenities and aesthetics of stadium spaces, and the intentions and conceptions of architects, team officials, and civic leaders. He grounds his analysis in case studies of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore; Fenway Park in Boston; Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles; Nationals Park in Washington, DC; Target Field in Minneapolis; and Truist Park in Atlanta.
