Natural Resources Research Program. Use of Implan with Public Area Recreation Visitor Survey (PARVS) Pretest Data: Findings and Recommendations

Abstract

The Public Area Recreation Visitor Survey (PARVS) is an interagency effort involving four Federal and a number of State agencies. The input/output model IMPLAN was selected for economic impact analyses using the PARVS data. Since IMPLAN is a sophisticated model, it was decided that a preliminary analysis would be conducted using the pretest data. The purpose of this analysis was to: (a) ensure that the data collected with the PARVS form met the requirements of IMPLAN, and (b) develop procedures to simplify the IMPLAN analyses of the 'real' PARVS data. The results of the preliminary analysis are summarized in this report. Keywords: Economic impact, Recreation, Visitor survey, Public utilities, Natural resources, Army facilities, Resource management.
