This paper reports statistical analyses of data on perceptions, mitigating behavior, and management preferences to highlight the difficulties related to empirical analysis of congestion. We offer evidence that may be of assistance to those wishing to construct measures of congestion for use in an observed behavior model. The results may also be quite useful to recreation area managers who can implement a quota or permit system or change site entrance or access fees to control access to the site they manage. Jakus, Paul M. and Paul B. Siegel. The Effect of Individual and Community Attributes on Residents' Attitudes Toward Tourism-Based Development.
Tourism is a popular regional development strategy with both positive and negative impacts.
In this paper, ordered probit analysis is used to isolate individual and community attributes which influence residents' attitudes toward tourism. This approach can be used to help design an appropriate tourism-based development strategy for a given community. Jakus, Paul M., Kelly H. Tiller, and William M. Park.
