Recreation Carrying Capacity Handbook Methods and Techniques for Planning, Design, and Management.

ADA096446

Publication Date	1980
Page Count	114
Abstract	The increase in use of Corps recreation facilities and prospects of even greater demand have brought about two major consequences and concerns: resource overuse and user overcrowding. More definitive recreation carrying capacity design and management guidelines are needed to preserve recreation qualities while offering a range of recreation opportunities. This report presents a methodology for determining recreation carrying capacity levels based on the results of user surveys and site analyses. Carrying capacity planning, design, and management techniques are included for use in preventing and correcting problems of overcrowding, overuse, and underuse of recreation resources. Demonstrations are used to show how carrying capacity guidelines can be developed and applied. (Author)
