Abstract:

Because recreation areas produce psychological experiences, acceptable levels of use depend greatly on desired qualities of experience, management patterns, and such off-site factors as alternative opportunities and visitor characteristics. Emphasis on carrying capacity may focus so much attention on physical site factors that equally important factors are overlooked, especially those concerning a balanced system of recreation opportunities.
