Abstract: | The newly instituted management plan for the Pemigewasset Wilderness area of New Hampshire, USA, which relies principally
on providing information to visitors, represents a departure from traditional plans. Logit analysis of survey data indicates
limited evidence of the plan having much direct impact on visitor behavior. There is evidence of success in information dissemination
to area users; however, the type of information that is being relayed to backcountry users does not appear to be that which
the management plan is attempting to promote. |
