Excerpt from Design and Method of the Sociological Research in the Grand Canyon, Vol. 1: River Contact Study; Final Report

The River Contact Study was contracted in April, 1974, to assess the sociological effects of different management alternatives on the nature and quality of the river experience in the Grand Canyon. Initially, the project was focused on the effects of motorized travel and different use levels. In the spring of 1975, concern over differences in private and commercial use prompted the Park Service to include this issue within the scope of the study.

The final report is organized into four major sections. The first is a description of the study design and implementation, including measurement techniques, sampling, and data collection. Parts II, III, and IV consider in turn the motor-oar, use levels, and private-commercial issues. The sections are bound separately to make them more easily available to those with specific interests.
