Title	Use patterns and visitor characteristics, attitudes, and preferences in nine wilderness and other roadless areas
Creator	Lucas, Robert C.
Contributor	Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)United States. Forest Service.
Description	A comparison of use patterns and visitor characteristics among nine wilderness and other roadless areas showed similarities for many characteristics and sharp differences for others. Differences were most pronounced for use patterns, such as length of stay, method of travel, and activities, and were least noticeable for visitors' attitudes and preferences. Overall, satisfaction was high, but many visitors felt that conditions were deteriorating. Use controls and only minimal levels of development were supported. Visitors to the heavily-used California study area showed some adjustment of preferences for solitude levels compared to visitors to the relatively lightly-used Northern Rocky Mountains areas. The overall pattern of responses suggests a need for a range of dispersed recreation opportunities outside wilderness, and for wilderness management that emphasizes managing use.
