• W48721888 abstract "Tasmania's Franklin - Lower Gordon Wild Rivers NationalPark, together with the other Western Tasmanian WildernessParks, was entered onto the United Nations World HeritageList in 1982. Encompassing one of the largest southtemperate wilderness areas in the world, these threecontiguous parks provide opportunities for a range ofrecreation activities from vehicle-based sightseeing toextended wilderness white-water rafting.Recreational pressures on all of the parks are increasingand they are now being seen, not only as reserves of majorbiological and ecological importance, but also as importantcomponents of an increasingly tourist based economy.Both development within the parks to support recreationaluse and their general management have been intuitively basedand until recently the acquisition of visitor data forplanning purposes has been a very low priority. It iscontended that, in the face of increasingly scarce resourcesand the need to provide a recreation environment that willallow maximum visitor satisfaction consistent with theconservation of the parks, the planning process must takedue account of the nature of the recreation experience andthe objectives of participants.The purpose of this study is to provide managementinformation for use in that process and the approach isbased upon the premise that individuals choose toparticipate in recreation activities within selectedphysical, social, and managerial environments for thepurpose of attaining pre-determined satisfactions oroutcomes. It further presupposes that the focus of themanagement effort should be the provision of opportunitiesfor the pursuit of such satisfactions. Successful managementtherefore requires an understanding of the satisfactions oroutcomes that participants associate with the opportunitiesprovided and the implementation of management prescriptionsthat contribute to the attainement of those satisfactionsconsistent with the overall policies of the agency.The immediate objective of the study was to determine theuse and user profiles of the wilderness parks with anemphasis on the newest, the Franklin - Lower Gordon WildRivers National Park; to determine the nature of thesatisfactions associated by visitors with the opportunitiesafforded by the parks and with particular defined activity -setting complexes; to investigate the existence ofdifferences between selected subgroups of rafters and their responses to selected management options; and to examine the relationship between the satisfactions and valued outcomesof current participants and their views on appropriatemanagement directions.The research instrument selected was the self-administeredquestionnaire completed by a total of 1969 participants fromall of the parks. A further 1028 participants completed amore lengthy form which included a section consisting of 62attitudinal scales reflecting possible outcomes associatedwith participation. Of these 633 were rafters on theFranklin - Lower Gordon Wild Rivers.Analysis undertaken on the basis of the park where contactwas made revealed that, with the exception of the Franklin-Lower Gordon, the patterns of use and visitorcharacteristics were essentially similar with the dominantuse being vehicle-based, short-duration activities centredaround the visitor service areas. Again with the sameexception, the opportunities and outcomes associated witheach of the parks were essentially similar with thosesatisfactions arising out of exposure to naturalenvironments rating most highly followed by those arisingfrom in-group social interaction and physical exercise. TheFranklin - Lower Gordon Wild Rivers National Park differedin that outcomes associated with achievement and risk takingfigured more prominently.Six broadly defined activity settings were established onthe basis of visit duration, activity, and maximum possiblepenetration into the parks. These were labelled:sightseeing, picnicking, daywalking, developed area camping,bushwalking and rafting. On the basis of participant scoringof the outcome scales, only three clearly distinguishableactivity settings emerged, each with an identifiablydifferent pattern of valued outcomes associated with it:rafting, bushwalking, and a single remaining group ofactivity setting complexes the locus of which is confined tothe immediate proximity of the visitor service areas - thesightseeing, picnicking, daywalking, and developed areacamping.While managerial presence and policy are an integral part ofthe resultant setting, the links between the value placed byparticipants on the experience outcomes and their views onmanagement direction are few and weak and do not provide anyclear indication to management of any broadly sharedperception that selected management directions would eitherenhance or detract from future availability of opportunitiesto pursue particular experiences.Differences in outcome profiles occurred among subgroups ofrafters with differences showing up between those incommercially organised parties and others; first timeparticipants and those with previous expereience; and between males and females. In terms of future managementoptions, there was a clear perception on the part of raftersthat controls on user numbers would be appropriate as wouldcontrols on other aspects of rafters' behavior including theuse of fuel stoves, axes and saws. There was also a clearpreference for such controls to be exercised prior to entryinto the park.Three indices of management presence and control weredeveloped from participants' scoring of possible managementprescriptions and the relationship between participantsscores on these indices and their outcome scores examined.The results demonstrate again that outcome scores are notstrong predictors of participant views on future managementdirection in this environment." @default.
