These competing demands and uses can present challenges for managers. In Australia, wilderness areas are measured and mapped with the National Wilderness Inventory (NWI) approach, however, the NWI does not account for the experiential impacts of aircraft overflights on park users. Here, we adapt a reserve-scale mensuration method developed in the U.S.A. for incorporation into the Australian NWI framework. We innovate within our approach by using a decision tree and raster mapping processes to assess soundscape impacts at nested scales of individual pixels, flight path, and reserve-scale. We apply our technique to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA), to first evaluate overflight soundscape impacts at the flight-path scale, then at the overall cumulative reserve-scale. The results indicate overflight soundscape noise impacts to ∼506,814 ha (32%) of the TWWHA. Cumulative overflight soundscape impacts were detected in the south-west of the reserve, an area comparatively free of complex private or public built infrastructure, other than a public landing strip, adjacent infrastructure node (Melaleuca), and low-volume walking tracks. Conversely, negligible cumulative overflight soundscape impacts were detected in the north of the reserve, where the majority of built public and private tourism infrastructure, use, and major formed tracks are located. These results are counter-intuitive and reveal spatiotemporal patterns that may be modified through management interventions, while maintaining existing air access provisions. While we apply our method to the TWWHA, it is widely relevant to managers who must manage recreation uses, and air access, within protected areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"54 ","pages":"Article 101055"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148178257","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 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}

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 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.

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.
