Scheduling models for wilderness recreation
Journal of Environmental Management
(1971)
Abstract
The scheduling of recreation in wilderness areas is explored through mathematical decision modeling. Two hypothetical systems are studied: a system of hiking trails, where the solution is found using quadratic programming; and a river system for recreational float trips, where solutions are derived utilizing quadratic programming, linear programming, and goal programming. Trips are allocated to a known user demand which minimizes the
encounters among users, subject to camp-ground capacity constraints.
