This report describes methods and findings from an analysis of public comments received by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR). This project is an exploration of alternative methods for analyzing public comments, looking beyond the specific requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act to a more general investigation of attitudes toward WOPR and management of the public lands. We developed a prototype for a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach to analysis of public comments that combines content analysis, spatial analysis and descriptive statistics. In this report, we describe these methods and discuss the patterns of attitudes, values and uses of BLM lands revealed through comments about WOPR which are illustrated with specific quotes.
