- W2498259536 abstract "The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between recreation participation, community of residence, and Forest Preserve management policy support of Adirondack Park residents. Data come from a random household survey of permanent residents in five Adirondack communities. Communities were selected based the degree to which local economic activity was dependent on natural amenities. Questionnaires were mailed to 1389 households and 540 were returned for an adjusted response rate of 40%. Bivariate analyses suggest that policy preferences vary by recreation participation and community of residence. Multinomial logistic regression estimating the marginal effects of recreation participation, community, and individual characteristics indicates that motor/consumptive recreation was positively associated with policies regarding resource development and negatively associated with resource protection. Appreciative recreation is only significantly associated with opposition to resource development policies. 1.0 Introduction Many of the public conflicts regarding planning and management in the Adirondack Park revolve around what types of recreation are appropriate on Forest Preserve lands and what values should drive the NY DEC’s planning and management (Terrie, 2008) 1 . Disagreement as to how to plan and manage new acquired Forest Preserve lands have focused on if and how much motorized recreation should be permitted as well as whether or not the State should have even purchased the lands (Mann, 2014). The public discourse tends to dichotomize the interests into “greens” and “pro-development.” But, it’s likely that the social factors underlying the disagreements are more complicated than the media makes apparent. Finding socially acceptable management policies requires understanding the social factors that shape and influence stakeholders preferences (Shindler, Brunson, & Cheek, 2004). The literature on intracommunity conflict and resident perceptions of natural resource policy have generally focused on “culture clash,” a perceived rural-urban dichotomy among more recent and long term residents of rural regions (Gosnell & Abrams, 2011). More recent analyses recognize that this dichotomy is false and that Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital (Bourdieu 1986) may provide a better basis for exploring differences in natural resource policy preferences among residents in high amenity regions (Armstrong & Steadman, 2013). An important form of 1 The Adirondack Park encompasses both public and private lands. The public lands in the Adirondacks and Catskills are designated State Forest Preserve and receive protection under Article XIV of the New York State Constitution. 2 PARTICIPATION, COMMUNITY, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT cultural capital that can shape residents’ perceptions is their recreation participation preferences (Backlund & Kuentzel, 2012; Stalker, 2011). Thus, to understanding resource management policy preference, outdoor recreation participation can provide a useful guide to distinguish who will support or oppose different management policies. A large body of research has investigated the relationship between outdoor recreation participation and environmental behaviors and attitudes. Findings from these studies have suggested that outdoor recreation participation has shown mixed support for associations with environmental attitudes and relatively strong associations with environmentally responsible behaviors (Berns & Simpson, 2009). Most of the studies in this literature operationalize the dependent variables by creating an attitudinal scale or index that measures the degree of importance, agreement, or behavior. For example, many of these studies assess environmental concern using the New Environmental Paradigm Scale (e.g. Van Liere & Noe, 1981; Tarant & Green,1999; Thapa, 2010). Tarant (Tarant & Cordell, 1997; Tarant & Green, 1999) has recognized that the relatively weak associations between participation and environmental attitudes could be associated with attitude specificity, measurement challenges, or that people participate in multiple activities. Tiesel and O’Brien (2003) attempted to address this limitation to previous research using econometric models that control for participation in multiple activities. They found that when controlling for a variety of factors, there are consistent relationships between recreation activity participation and environmental concern and behavior. Less research has investigated the relationship of outdoor recreation and specific policies among the general public. Jackson (1987) showed a divergence in policy preferences among recreationists who participated in motorized and non-motorized forms of recreation. Motorized recreationists were more likely to support resource development activities while non-motorized recreationists were more likely to support preservationist policies. Like the research on outdoor recreation and environmental attitudes and behavior, these associations were relatively weak to moderate. There is a significant shortcoming to this body of literature is translating the practical effects of the relationship between activity participation and attitude. It is difficult to interpret the practical effects of a unit change in the dependent variable when it is measured on a scale or index score. For policy makers to understand the difference between those who support and do not support policy proposals, it is clearer to suggest which characteristics predict agreement or disagreement with the proposal. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the influence of resident’s recreation participation as an indicator of cultural capital on their support for five different management policy propositions. The analysis seeks to estimate the marginal effect of recreation participation on the probability that a respondents will “agree” with the policy as compared to “disagree” when controlling for the community of residence, length of residence, and socio-economic background. Differences between “agreement” and “disagreement” are analyzed because it should represent a practical difference in attitude rather than a matter of degree." @default.
