Download or read book The National Visitor Use Monitoring Methodology and Final Results for Round 1 written by Stanley J. Zarnoch and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nationwide, systematic monitoring process has been developed to provide improved estimates of recreation visitation on National Forest System lands. Methodology is presented to provide estimates of site visits and national forest visits based on an onsite sampling design of site-days and last-exiting recreationists. Stratification of the site days, based on site type and use level, is used to improve the estimates by reducing variability. Forests are sampled on a 4-year cycle, with a fourth of the forests sampled each year. The site visit and national forest visit estimates for each of the 121 forests sampled in round 1 (2000 to 2003) are presented along with their coefficients of variation and 90-percent confidence intervals. In addition, these estimates are decomposed into their nonproxy, proxy, and Special Events components which provide a level of transparency important for understanding the estimation process and for building credibility among the users of these National Visitor Use Monitoring estimates. The concepts, equations, and data presented are reinforced by illustrating a typical analysis of the visitation estimation process for the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. This includes site- day characteristics of the nonproxy and proxy strata, information about the National Visitor Use Monitoring sampling process, and detailed calculation of the national forest visit estimate for the nonproxy, proxy, and Special Event components of the visitation estimate. The total national visitation estimate is the summation of all the individual forest visit estimates. The national site visit estimate for 2004 was 239,009,917 with a 90-percent confidence interval of 231,554,913 to 246,464,921 and a coefficient of variation of 1.90 percent. The national forest visit estimate, circa 2004, was 204,358,864 with a 90-percent confidence interval of 197,468,684 to 211,249,044 and a coefficient of variation of 2.05.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USDA Forest Service implemented the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) program across the entire National Forest System (NFS) in calendar year 2000. The primary objective of the NVUM program is to develop reliable estimates of recreation use on NFS lands via a nationally consistent, statistically valid sampling approach. Secondary objectives of NVUM are to characterize recreation visits, collect data in support of regional economic analyses, and gauge national forest visitor satisfaction. We document and review the round 1 NVUM implementation in the USDA Forest Service Alaska Region (R-10) with examination of the R-10 prework, sample day implementation, survey completion rates, sampling at cabins, boat docks, and air carriers; and the NVUM expansion weights assigned to survey cases. Several opportunities to improve the implementation of the standard NVUM protocols in R-10 are identified.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates of national forest recreation use are available at the national, regional, and forest levels via the USDA Forest Service National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) program. In some resource planning and management applications, analysts desire recreation use estimates for subforest areas within an individual national forest or for subforest areas that combine portions of several national forests. In this research note we have detailed two approaches whereby the NVUM sampling data may be used to estimate recreation use for a subforest area within a single national forest or for a subforest area combining portions of more than one national forest. The approaches differ in their data requirements, complexity, and assumptions. In the "new forest" approach, recreation use is estimated by using NVUM data obtained only from NVUM interview sites within the area of interest. In the "all-forest information" approach, recreation use is estimated by using sample data gathered on all portions of the national forest(s) that contain the area of interest.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis examines the problem of measuring demand for recreation on national forests and other public lands. Current measures of recreation demand in Forest Service resource assessments and planning emphasize population-level participation rates and activity-based economic values for visitor days. Alternative measures and definitions of recreation demand are presented, including formal economic demand and multiattribute preferences. Recreation assessments from national-level Renewable Resources Planning Act Assessments to site-level demand studies are reviewed to identify methods used for demand analysis at different spatial scales. A finding throughout the multiple scales of analysis, with the exception of site-level studies, is that demand measures are not integrated with supply measures. Supply analyses, in the context of resource assessments, have taken the form of mapped spatial inventories of recreation resources on the national forests, based on the classification of recreational settings according to the opportunities they produce (e.g., the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum). As such, integration of demand analysis with these measures of supply requires measuring the demand for recreational settings. To support management and planning decisions, recreation demand analysis must also permit projection of changes in visitation at multiple scales as changes in management and policy alter recreational settings, and as the demographics and behavior of the user base changes through time. Although this is currently being done through many formal economic studies of site demand, methods are needed that scale up to higher levels of spatial aggregation. Several areas for research, development and application of improved methods for demand analysis are identified, and improved methods for spatially explicit models of recreation visitation and demand are identified as a priority area for research.
