Code-a-Site: A System for Inventory of Dispersed Recreational Sites in Roaded Areas, Back Country, and Wilderness (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Code-a-Site: A System for Inventory of Dispersed Recreational Sites in Roaded Areas, Back Country, and Wilderness
The National Forest Recreation Survey (ners), begun in 1959, bears some relationship to code-a-site. The nfrs was a systematic inventory by the Forest Service of all existing and potential developed outdoor recreation sites including location, suitable activities, access, ecological data, and judgments about site qualities. In field tests we found that some sites, originally identified by nfrs but never officially developed, had become established by impromptu recreational use and turned up in our Code - a-site inventory.
The Bureau of Land Management's (u.s. Department of the Interior) extensive phase inventory, Recreation Inventory System (ris), is similar in many respects to the Forest Service rim system (u.s. Depart ment of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management However, ris is not a computer - oriented process; it relies basically on forms, files and overlays for storing information on recreational resources. Code-a - Site data could easily fit into this broad system.
