Principles of recreation carrying capacity
ABSTRACTS/TITLES
in the last decade--advances that represent the next logical step in the progress of tourism in other regions of the world. (TSM) The Pastoral Case of Emignmts. On The Move (3339 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.20008, USA), No. 20, May 1978, pp. 95-115. In the context of modern travel, the ancient phenomenon of emigration continues to occupy a quite important place. The numbers involved remain at a high level, its spread concerns every continent in various ways, and the result is a marked influence upon the changing pattern of life. The phenomenon is discussed in relation to the church's pastoral outlook. (This article also appears in five other languages.) Bibliography. (LRS) Perceived Recreative Experience and the Relief of Tension. By Lloyd A. Heywood. Journal of Leisure Research (National Recreation and Park Association, 1601 North Kent Street, Arlington, Virginia 22209., USA). Volume 10, Number 2, 1978, pp. 86-97. Tension relief has been described as one of the primary functions of recreative experience. In this study, physiological stress, reflected in increased heart rate, forehead and upper back tension, and respiration rate, decreased skin resistance, and depth of respiration was induced in 60 subjects. Attempts were then made to relieve the stress through exposure to one of six different potentially recreative experiences. The findings support the contention that stress is relieved to a greater extent by perceived experiences than by other kinds of experiences. Bibliography, Tables, and Charts. (TSM)
Practical Applications of Travel Research In Marketing. By Beverly Shipka.
TTRA Ninth Annual Conference Proceedings (Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 54112, USA), 1978, 95-113. The article reports on some of marketing research activities of the United States Travel Service. Table and Charts. (LRS) Prindples of Recreation Carrying Capacity. By David Lime. Proceedings of the Southern States Recreation Research Applications Workshop (North Central Forest Experiment Station, 1922 Folwell Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108, USA), 1977, pp. 122-134. Recreational carrying capacity is a complex and troublesome concept that incorporates principles of the social as well as the physical and biological sciences. Some basic principles, based on review of the current state-of-the-knowledge, that relate to carrying capacity and that seem relevant to outdoor recreation management are discussed. Bibliography. (TSP) Productivity in Canadian Railroads, 1956-1975. By Douglas Caves and Laurits Christensen. Canadian Transport Commission (Ottawa, Canada), Report No. 10-78-16, August 1978, xiit 61 pp. Free. The purpose of this study is to present the results of a study of the productivity performance of Canada's two principal railroads--the Canadian National (CN) and the Canadian Pacific (CP.). Together the CN and CP account for approximately ninety percent of gross railway revenues in Canada. Tables and Bibliography. ANNALS OF TOURISM RESEARCH, Oct/Dec 1978
