The task of distributing these limited recreation opportunities among individuals or groups (known as allocation) has long plagued recreation managers. However, limited empirical information is available concerning best practices for selecting an allocation mechanism (e.g., permits available through first-come, first-served, open reservations, lotteries, etc.) that best meets the management objectives and constraints of a given site—including temporal considerations of booking windows. Thus, managers are left with little in the form of best practices for navigating the natural trade-offs that exist between the available allocation mechanisms. This research seeks to illuminate how recreation managers across federal and state agencies approach the allocation of recreation resources for their management areas by asking what has gone both well and poorly when allocating these resources, as well as what limitations may exist to achieving equity and efficiency during these processes. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 50 recreation managers across the U.S. reveal that managers have nuanced concerns when making allocation decisions, with numerous trade-offs identified. Managers highlighted goals and objectives including variety and flexibility, and observed success when effective communication was maintained internally and externally. Managers encountered challenges related to the design and enforcement of allocation mechanisms, as well as in public education efforts. The findings highlight the potential value of collaborative planning with visitors when making recreation allocation decisions, as well as varying recreation allocation systems across space and time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101015"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue, though a frequent subject of writing and discourse, has yet to be adequately defined. Insights from various fields, such as behavioral economics, social psychology, anthropology, and public health, shed light on why both professionals and recreationalists engage in practices that lead to avalanche accidents. However, the avalanche community has not yet coalesced around a cohesive and systematic framework for understanding, communicating, and addressing the human factor. As a result, ambiguity and diverse interpretations persist, leaving individuals and educators to interpret the science on their own, despite the profundity of the problem. Although models for understanding snow, weather, and terrain are well-established in the avalanche industry, and focus on the human factor has increased, a shared and agreed upon typology addressing the human factor is missing. To address this, we took a first step and initiated a qualitative research project aimed at identifying common themes among professionals regarding the human challenges in avalanche terrain. Based on the analysis of 14 expert interviews and transcribed recordings from an expert practitioner workshop, we developed a preliminary framework that we propose to the broader avalanche community. This paper outlines our research and presents not a conclusion, but a suggested typology designed advance the research and to stimulate discussion and debate within the community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 100997"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146078010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study exploresthe meanings mountaineers attach to wilderness-like areas at the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (SONP), Brazil. Using a grounded theory approach, we conducted two focus groups with mountaineers who visited wilderness-like areas of the park. Results indicate that place meanings emerged from a combination of social, environmental, and experiential aspects. Participants' identities and social relationships influenced their connection with place, motivations, and satisfaction with visits to SONP wilderness-like settings. Recreation experiences intertwined the park as a whole, its wilderness-like areas, and mountaineering creating a sense of continuity from the past and instilling pride and honor in their experiences. Potential changes in regulations, perceived as threats to access and \"their\" wilderness recreation, led to protective attitudes, further shaping place meanings. This study enables land managers at SONP and beyond to better understand the interests, needs, values, and symbolism of wilderness visitors, contributing to more effective decision-making about recreation policies. Management implications include the need for balancing the protection of wilderness character with equitable access. Participatory decision-making processes can co-create solutions that reflect shared values and maximize equity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101004"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mediation tests showed that positive emotions partially mediated the effects of all three MDTE dimensions on tourists' ERB intention, whereas satisfaction only partially mediated the effect of desert scenery on tourists' ERB intention. Furthermore, the moderating role of visiting time was found for the path between adventure entertainment and positive emotions.

This field study investigated associations between airbag use and real-world risk-taking among groups of ski tourers (<em>n</em> = 112) and freeriders (i.e., out-of-bounds skiers; <em>n</em> = 45). Groups were surveyed before and after their tours. Risk-taking was assessed by comparing the number of hazardous sites on intended and conducted routes, as well as observed behavior in these sites, against expert terrain analyses and recommendations. No evidence of increased risk-taking due to airbag use was found. Knowledge of airbag effectiveness and limitations was incomplete, and participants overestimated both avalanche mortality risk and the survival benefit of airbags by nearly twofold. Among ski tourers, airbag use was associated with greater experience and carrying additional safety equipment (i.e., helmets), whereas among freeriders, airbag use was associated with carrying standard emergency equipment. The proportion of ski tourers carrying airbags increased from avalanche danger level 1 to 2 and 3. Overall, airbag use was unrelated to risk-taking, risk propensity, or avalanche training. These findings suggest that airbag use is embedded within a group's broader risk culture rather than serving as a standalone influence on behavior. Accordingly, potential risk compensation effects may be shaped by a complex interaction of current avalanche conditions, terrain-specific risk propensity, avalanche awareness, and group risk culture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101009"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
