Abstract

The purpose of this research note is to inform national park management regarding the strategies in rationing campsites in popular U.S. national park campgrounds and provide data-driven guidance for the design of more fair and equitable methods for distributing limited, highly demanded campsites. To explore preferences in campsite rationing techniques and preferred and maximum campsite booking windows, we collected survey data among randomly sampled onsite visitors in Grand Canyon National Park at scenic viewpoints and Mather Campground in 2023. The rationing technique with the highest level of positive support was advance reservation, followed by a combination of time frames for booking window (e.g., 6-month, 2- month, and 2-week) and a combination of rationing techniques (e.g., advance reservation and first-come, first-serve). Concerning fairness and equity, we found that respondents in higher annual household income groups had a longer maximum booking window, on average, than those in lower income groups. Thus, we discuss the merits of offering a diversity of booking windows to meet the needs of multiple groups, each with constrained booking horizons.
探索美国国家公园露营者的首选和最大预订窗口:提高公平性的意义
本研究报告旨在为国家公园管理部门提供有关美国国家公园热门露营地露营地配给策略的信息,并为设计更公平、更公正的方法分配有限且需求量大的露营地提供数据指导。为了探索露营地配给技术的偏好以及露营地预订的首选窗口和最大窗口,我们收集了 2023 年在大峡谷国家公园景区和马瑟露营地随机抽取的现场游客的调查数据。支持率最高的配给技术是提前预订,其次是预订窗口的时间范围组合(如 6 个月、2 个月和 2 周)和配给技术组合(如提前预订和先到先得)。在公平和公正方面,我们发现家庭年收入较高组别受访者的最长预订窗口期平均长于收入较低组别受访者。因此,我们讨论了提供多种预订窗口的好处,以满足预订时间有限的多个群体的需求。
