"This research program was conducted to investigate the economic and social values of beach recreation on the Gold Coast. The program comprised two subprojects which were conducted concurrently. The major sub-project involved a survey of Gold Coast City residents’ use and attitudes toward Gold Coast ocean beach and foreshore areas. In addition, a desk-top study, based on available secondary data, was conducted of tourist use and values of Gold Coast beaches."

"Given increasing need and decreasing capacity, the Forest Service outdoor recreation research program must strategize how best to address current and future priorities. Papers are organized around four themes: Understanding Forest Recreation Visitors, Recreation Planning & Monitoring, Recreation Management, and Special Issues in Recreation".
