Land management policy is conceived as a series of negotiations and resolutions emerging from competing realities. The model is applied to studies of backcountry hikers and managers from the Grand Canyon National Park and the Saguaro National Monument.

Consequently there is a tendency to adopt plans and specify regulations which are not synchronized with the total recreational situation. 1987 text Dissertation-Reproduction (electronic) http://hdl.handle.net/10150/184283 8804191 en Copyright © is held by the author.
