Relative value of water and land outdoor recreation activity areas. Research technical completion report, project A-055-IDA Item Info

Preferences for selected water and land outdoor recreation activities at Heyburn State Park, Idaho are measured by the paired comparison method. Four sets of activities are measured. These are: (1) fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, camping, and picnicking; (2) dock fishing, boat fishing and shore fishing; (3) water skiing, motorboat fishing, and motorboating (for Pleasure); and (4) canoeing, sailboating, and motorboating. Preference scales for each set are compared between: (1) corrected and uncorrected for length of stay bias, (2) all respondents and only transitive respondents; and (3) all respondents and only those respondents who participated in both activities of the pair being compared. Preference rankings within a set sometimes vary with the criteria. For the activity set fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, camping and picnicking the mean proportions of respondents and percentage of respondents selecting that activity are related to the percentage of management funds being spent on that activity area to derive a preference-cost ratio. These ratios were computed for all respondents, both corrected and uncorrected for length of stay bias; and head of party, both all respondents and those who participated in both activities of the pair. The number of participants is multiplied by the ratios to obtain weighted values. Boating was ranked first, and hiking was ranked second. Other activities in decreasing rank order are fishing, swimming, picnicking, and camping. The preference-cost ratios identify where unequal resource allocations are occurring. They do not, however, indicate whether or not it should be changed or how it should be changed if it is to be changed.
