Modeling Trail Area Evaluations In Metropolitan Chicago

Proceedings of the 1990 Northeastern recreation research symposium

“…The needed research can build on previous studies of how site attributes influence satisfaction with choice of trout streams (Louviere 1974), trails (Allton and Lieber 1983; Lieber and Allton 1983;Lieber and Fesenmaier 1983), urban forest recreation areas (Peterson, Dwyer, and Darragh 1983), and parks (Curry, Louviere, Rauch, and Woodworth 1983; 178 Louviere and Woodworth 1984; Louviere, Schroeder, Louviere, and Woodworth 1986;Schroeder and Louviere, 1986;Schroeder, Dwyer, Louviere, and Anderson 1990;Schroeder, Louviere, and Anderson 1989; and Dwyer, Schroeder, Louviere, and Anderson 1989). The basic task involves (1) identifying the attributes of urban lakes that influence people's choice of and satisfaction with those areas, and (2) building models that predict site choice or satisfaction from those site attributes.…”
