Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book delves into the pressing issue of managing increasing wilderness use while preserving both ecological integrity and recreational experiences. The author analyzes five distinct rationing systems - request, lottery, queuing, price, and merit, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Guidelines for responsible rationing are offered, emphasizing accurate data collection, considering less restrictive measures first, combining systems to minimize costs, and requiring users to assess the value of their wilderness opportunity. The book advocates for monitoring and evaluating rationing programs to ensure they effectively achieve their goals. Through these insights, the book provides valuable guidance to wilderness managers and policymakers seeking to strike a balance between use and preservation, ensuring the long-term health of these treasured landscapes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Rationing Wilderness Use, Methods, Problems, and Guidelines

Rationing the use of areas producing such values might seem akin to charging people to go to church. Or, it might simply appear to be an unwarranted bureaucratic intrusion into yet another area of our lives. What justification is there, after all.
