Abstract:

Coral reefs are highly diverse and economically important. Despite this, a confluence of anthropogenic threats endangers reefs globally. The diving tourism industry is an important beneficiary of coral reefs, especially reefs located within the tropical latitudes. With a recent increase in popularity of diving tourism concomitant with a global expansion of marine coastal tourism, reef managers and policy makers are presented with fresh challenges. This study explores the potential economic, social and conservation impacts of artificial reefs as recreational scuba diving resources and investiga

Abstract:

[From the introduction]: The thesis is organised as follows. In Chapters 1 and 2 we present a review of the existing literature. Chapter 1 analyses the role of incentives and human capital attributes as mechanisms for determining performance. Much of the previous literature analyses manager performance using wage equations. What is unique in our approach is that we are able to generate a direct measure of managerial performance. The background to the methodology used is provided in Chapter 2. Here we explore the growing literature on production frontier analysis. We are particularly interested

Abstract:

Environmental protection and the conservation of the natural resources gained great impetus in the 1990s after the introduction of the concept of sustainable development by the integration of economic, social and environmental considerations into development activities (Lim & McAleer, 2004:1). Recreation and tourism development, as economic activities, are no exception to this process, and invariably would exert some impacts on the natural recreation resources of any tourism destination (Lim & McAleer, 2004:1). In South Africa, the development of legislative frameworks associated with

Abstract:

Habitat restoration can partially compensate for the extensive loss of coastal wetlands, which are transitional habitats that form the barriers between seas and oceans and the terrestrial environment. Coastal wetlands historically due to their location have either been altered by flooding or draining to suit human needs. Coastal wetlands when left unaltered function as water filters, flood buffers, nurseries for juvenile nekton and as wildlife habitat for birds and animals. Creation of costal wetland habitat with intact ecological functions remains a challenging task. Paull Holme Strays (PHS)

Abstract:

Approaches to the study of anxiety in sport have tended to rely on the use of questionnaires to assess levels of competitive anxiety. The development of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens et aI., 1982) has according to Jones (1995) led to considerable research investigating the relationship between anxiety and sport performance. Study 1 reported here utilised the CSAI-2 with an additional directional scale to examine individual differences and competitive state anxiety in sport. Results revealed that there were no significant differences (p<.05) between three achievement levels

With ever-increasing demands on scarce natural resources, understanding public attitudes toward natural resources is crucial to accomplishing various management goals for resource conservation and the provision of resource services. Despite numerous studies of public attitudes toward resource conservation since Dunlap and Heffernan 1975), there is a limited understanding of the driving forces underlying recreationists?? activities that contribute to their conservation attitudes and behaviors.

Increasing development like roads and houses will alter the future landscape of Vermont. Development provides important resources for people and society, but also results in consequences for wildlife and opportunities for recreation. Managing development requires information on the public's acceptability of development and how acceptability is shaped by information on various consequences. In this study, I examined three questions: 1) What is the public's acceptability of development? 2) Does wildlife information influence public acceptability of development and 3) Is the maximum amount of acc

Alpha and construct reliability coefficients found within the current study were relatively consistent with prior findings that support the use of this more parsimonious and less invasive version of a fitness center service quality assessment.Subscribe to JPRA

A portion of their lands, the focus of this study, has been examined to assess the impact of these restrictions on traditional land use.

Abstract:

<p> Carry in/ Carry out (CICO) policies have been used in front-country parks for a long time. According to the National Park Service (2013), “trash free parks” are ones that implement carry in and carry out policies; the manager of a park removes all or most of the garbage cans in hope of having park patrons carry out the refuse that they generate and dispose of it at home. Managers use this policy as a way to reduce the costs associated with hauling trash out of the park, and to deter patrons from leaving garbage in the park. Reducing the amount of trash clean up also gives the p

Abstract:

This Study examines the recreation of Trout fishing on the rivers of Nelson, New Zealand. It concentrates on two angling groups, namely adult whole season licence holders and professional fishing guides with their clients. Two questionnaires were the major source of data for the study. Professional fishing guides as a group have never been studied or described in such a fashion, in any previous New Zealand study. The study determines and explains features of freshwater trout angling as a recreational pursuit, by angler groups based within the study area. It was found that the two different

Abstract:

Owing to decades of accumulated economic achievement, the development of recreation resources has been a matter of urgency in Taiwan. Natural recreation resources mean different things for different people. A sound recreation management policy must take care of all requirements needed to operate the natural recreation resource protection, as well as effect their continued and profitable use. It is necessary to develop a theoretical and empirical, quantitative and humanistic framework for establishing a comprehensive recreation planning structure to maintain a balanced relationship between huma

Abstract:

The focus of this research was the practical application, inventory, and analysis of scenic resources of the marine environment. From an international perspective, the concept of establishing marine parks and preserves was traced and shown to be a recent phenomenon in an effort to protect pristine and unique marine areas. Unfortunately, the inclusion of marine scenic resources as a distinct element in the site planning and site design management process is at present negligible. This research presents a systematic scenic resource inventory and scenic preference testing using the Q-sort method

Abstract:

This thesis reports the results of a project which identified differences in characteristics of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument user groups as they related to their perceptions of how they experience the Monument as recreationists. It explored opinions of four groups: hikers vs. hunters and pre-designation users vs. post-designation users. Responses of these groups were compared for attribution of perceived resource damage, feelings of crowding, acceptability of management action, and importance of identified monument values to their visit. In addition, characteristics of the users
