Summary

This study introduces two forest management models: one for recreation use patterns and another for visibility. Combining these models offers comprehensive planning support for multiple-use forests and visual resource management.

Area of Science:

  • Forestry
  • Spatial Analysis
  • Recreation Management

Background:

  • Effective forest management requires understanding recreation use and visual impacts.
  • Existing visual resource management (VRM) systems can be enhanced with spatial data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and compare spatial models of forest recreation use patterns and visibility.
  • To assess the utility of these models for forest managers in planning operations and addressing visitor concerns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized spatial data including transportation networks, elevation, and stand height.
  • Developed a recreation use pattern model based on travel corridors.
  • Quantified forest area visibility using a dedicated visibility model.

Main Results:

  • The recreation use pattern and visibility models provide distinct yet complementary information.
  • The visibility model is beneficial for harvest scheduling and addressing visual concerns.
  • The use pattern model aids in understanding travel and rerouting visitors.

Conclusions:

  • A combined approach using both models offers the most significant planning assistance for multiple-use forests.
  • These spatially explicit models can enhance current VRM systems by integrating recreation use and visibility data.
