Contributions of social sciences to multiple-use management : an update /

Abstract

Revised versions are given of papers presented at the 1987 National Convention of the Society of American Foresters, discussing specific uses of social science knowledge and methodology in integrating amenity resource values into multiple use management of forests. A summary paper by Driver is followed by 8 other papers: Values deep in the woods: the hard-to-measure benefits of forest preservation (Rolston, H., III); The benefits of wildlife recreation participation: what we know and where we need to go (Schreyer, R.; Driver, B. L.); The significance of resource-based tourism (Hunt, J. D.); Impacts of resource-based tourism on local income and employment (Watson, A. E.; Cordell, H. K.); Rural resident community life satisfaction and tourism development attitudes: a comparison of forest and nonforest community residents (Long, P. T.; Perdue, R. R.; Allen, L. R.); Economic benefits of wildland recreation and environmental protection (Walsh, R. G.); Implementation of the recommendations of the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors (Reid, L. M.; Floyd, M. F.); and Science, values, control and equity: foundations of multiple use resource policy (Wargo, J.).
