Abstract:
     Most recreation impact research designs have serious limitations when used in isolation. This paper outlines a series of studies designed to provide a more comprehensive picture of resource impacts than single studies can. It describes (1) a cross-sectional survey of sites, (2) a longitudinal study of sites, (3) a study of change on newly developed sites, (4) a study of change on newly closed sites, (5) an experimental trampling study, and (6) development of a site monitoring system.
