Rachelle Haddock is a graduate student at the University of Calgary in the Faculty of Environmental Design. She is conducting a study on how recreation users perceive access management issues on public lands in southwestern Alberta, including the southern portion of Kananaskis Country south of Highwood House, and how recreation users wish to be involved in public consultation for access management planning for public lands in southwestern Alberta.
The purpose of this research is to explore how to most effectively engage recreation users and other regional stakeholders in public consultation, in order to realize successful access management planning for public lands in southwestern Alberta.
The objectives for this research project are to examine and evaluate:
- recreation access management issues;
- the values and attitudes of recreation users and regional stakeholders towards those issues; and
- the acceptability and desirability of different public consultation processes to recreation users and regional stakeholders to assist with access management planning.
If you use public lands in southwestern Alberta and are willing to take 15-20 of your time to complete the survey, please go to http://homepages.ucalgary.ca/~rlhaddoc/index.html.
