Methodology study to develop evaluation criteria For Wild And Scenic Rivers: landowner perception of recreationist associated conflicts in the Salmon-Little Salmon River corridor of Idaho Item Info

Thesis that samples the opinions of locals of Salmon River and Little Salmon River regarding potential for conflicts with recreationists. Opposition at hearings prompted Congress to designate twenty-seven 'study' rivers in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Landowners argued that the Act would increase recreationist associated land management problems. A spatial analysis of recreational pressures, subsequent recreationist associated problems, and selected public policies which influence landowner-recreationist conflicts were involved in this Scenic Rivers Methodology subproject . Relatively developed and predominantly privately owned, a rural area of Idaho's lower Salmon River basin, herein termed the Salmon-Little Salmon River Corridor, is a complex pattern of management and ownership units adjacent to national forest lands and characterized by a narrow strip of land and water in which lateral mobility is limited by canyon walls rising from the rivers. The northern half of the Corridor is dominated by ranching along the Salmon River. The Little Salmon River flows through the southern half where residential land use dominates. Sampling included 118 of 306 landowners.
