MRM 2120 - Recreation Resource Impacts
This course examines the resource and ecological impacts of recreation use. The instruction addresses the positive and negative changes in environmental conditions occurring to the resource base as a result of recreational use. These changes include degradation of such resources as soils, water, vegetation, and wildlife. The course explores concepts of wilderness, wildland recreation, direct and indirect impacts, and spatial distribution of recreation impacts. This course also includes an examination of the differences in levels of human activity on natural resources. The field lab requirement of the course acquaints students with an understanding of impacts, their severity, and their interrelationships. The lab also provides students with an understanding of using both GIS and GPS mapping techniques to examine spatial concepts related to broader issues of recreation activity-environment interactions.
