Title	Self-issued wilderness permits as a use measurement system
Creator	Lucas, Robert C.
Contributor	Kovalicky, Thomas J. ; <br> Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	A self-issued, mandatory visitor permit system was evaluated as a use measurement system during its first year of operation in the Spanish Peaks Primitive Area, Montana. Overall, 53 percent of all visitor groups obtained permits. Length-of-stay was the factor most related to compliance. Overnight visitors (campers) complied well; day-visitors did not, especially those making brief visits. Self-issuing permit stations located up the trail performed better than those adjacent to parking areas. Self-issued permits appear to have advantages over voluntary trail registers for measuring use. Recommendations for raising compliance, which would also apply to trail registers, are presented.
