P R E F A C E Thepurpose of this paper is to document three surveys related to outdoor recreation activity conducted by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program, the Rhode Island Department of Natural Resources and the University of Rhode Island. These are: 1. The Diary Survey 2. The On-Site Recreation Survey of Out-of-State Users 3, The Sit-- Quality Survey These surveys were designed to collect the data necessary to answer the following basic questions. 1. What are the recreation needs and wants of the citizens of Rhode Island now, and what will they be in the years 1980 and 2000?. 2. What policies and. programs should,be recommended to insure that these needs are adequately.and efficiently met? 'Subsequent papers will describe the results of these surveys. The infor- mation generated by these surveys will be incorporated into the demand.section of the state's Recreation Guide Plan. This paper was written by Ralph P. Piccirilli, Senior Planner working under the general supervision of Calvin B. Dunwoody, Chief, both of the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Planning and Development.

The answers to nearly every question posed by the recreational planners requires detailed data on the quantity and nature of participation in the whole range of leisure time activities. However, accurate appraisals of existing and projected use of recreational. facilities have been difficult to determine. The reasorsfor this difficulty are many and varied; but perhaps the two most significant are: 1) the many factors (i.e. age, income,.availability) that affect recreational preferences, attitudes and participation; and 2) poor baseline data. As a result, a variety of methodologies have been developed.. The purpose of this paper is two fold: 1) to document Rhode Island's efforts in this field; and 2) to develop the baseline data to adequately plan for future recreational opportunities in Rhode Island. To accomplish this) present use, participation and attitudes must be thoroughly studied. Therefore, these three surveys were designed to collect the data necessary to ea-timate quantity of participation for both Rhode Island residents and non-residents who use Rhode Island facilities. Following are brief descriptions of each survey and its purpose: 1. Diary Survey - A questionnaire mailed to 2,000 Rhode Island households designed to gather data concerning the quantity of participation by Rhode Islanders and the demographic factors which affect that participation. 2. On-Site Survey of Out of State Users - A questionnaire administered to out of state users at selected recreation sites in Rhode Island to develop baseline data similar to that gained in the diary survey. 3. Site Quality and Willingness to Pay Survey - A questionnaire administered to in-state and out of state residents, developing data on reactions to distance traveled, crowding and the individuals willingness to -pay fees under certain conditions of crowding. These surveys represent the most significant effort by Rhode Island in the field of recreation demand analysis. Certainly, the work of the Statewide Planning Program in 1965 was highly contributory to the state's recreation planning effort. However, the utility of this data is marginal because of the time period that has elapsed since its collection. Also, the research efforts in leisure time analysis have expanded tremendously in the last eight years, thus providing state planners with new tools for a ric-re COMDrehensive understand- ing of the quantity and quality of participation in recreatiorol octivities. it should be stressed again that this study is composed of -@hree elements, each capable of producing information exclusive of the other two. Certainly the on-site studies will provide information concerning the economic impact of tourism in Rhode Island; the site quality survey is valuable to econometricians estimating net benefits of recreation; and the diary survey provides compre- hensive information to both the planner and the economist. However, the strength of this study lies in the analysis of all three components with the understanding that each element supplements the other two. Finally, it should be noted that this study does not represent the "sine qua non" of recreational demand analysis. It is one effort in the continuing research process which contributes to the effe'ctive planning for the recreation needs of the citizens of Rhode Island. Hopefully, it will be a significant contribution to this research effort. -2- PART TWO: -DIARY SURVEY A. BACKGROUND The primary task of the demand study is to determine the quantity of participation for selected outdoor recreation activities for the particular population under consideration. HO'Wever,_effective analysis requires that quantity of participation be analyzed in terms of a variety of socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the population. That is to say, any analysis of recreational demand should not only ask how often one participates in activity A, but also, what is the nature of that participation, what type of person is the participant,and how often will that type of person partici- pate twenty years from now? This information is required to support the hypothesis that recreational,demand and use, just like any other social activity is a fuction of the socio-economic characteristics of the participant and the existing supply of the areas or facilities needed. Information of this type is usually generated through the survey questionnaire technique. For the purposes of this study, a variety of survey types were considered: a home interview survey, telephone survey, mailed questionnaire survey and the diary survey. Traditionally, one of the first three techniques is utilized in recreational demand analysis. However, the diary survey was chosen for this study. The diary survey is a form of a mailed questionnaire. However, the respondent is not asked to recall his participation but to simply record his recreational activities on a-daily basis. The diary technique has several advantages over other survey types: 1. Respondents record their activities as they perform them, thereby greatly reducing the error introduced when asking a respondent to recall his activities for the past year. 2. A higher response rate than the mailed questionnaire (50 - 75% as compared to less than 30%) Ls usually obtained. 3. It is less expensive than the home interview survey and highly competitive with the telephone and mai,led questionnaire survey. The diary survey also offers a great degree of accuracy especially when one wishes to make observations of specific activity over time, as-is the case with recreation participation. This accuracy, combined with reasonable cost, point out that the diary survey is ideally suited to recreation. In the past, the diary survey has never been used to determine recreation participation * However, it has been used by industry for years in consumer-product marketing surveys.' -3- B. SAMPLE SELECTION AND RESPONSE RATE Sample selection was the responsibility of the consulting firm engaged.to administer the survey. (The role of the consulting firm is specifically explained in paragraph C below). The consultant agreed to select a sample which would produce-1,000 useable questionnaires for each period of the survey. To accomplish this, the consultant recruited a sample of 2,000 households, anticipating a minimum response of 50 percent. A panel Qf 700 households had been previously engaged by the consultant for use in national surveys. This panel had been selected and balanced to meet the incomes and age characteristics of the 1970 census. The remaining 1,300households were selected at random from a comprehensive telephone directory for the State of Rhode Island. The statis- tical characteristics of this sample (confidence intervals, etc.) will be discussed in future reports analyzing the.data. C- SURVEY ADMINISTRATION in order to effectively develop and administer the survey, the Department of Natural Resources and the University of Rhode Island contracted with a firm that specializes in diary surveys.@ It should be emphasized that the role of the consultant in this study was to choose the sample, assist in the development of the questionnaire format, print and mail the questionnaire, encourage response and code and punch the data. The consultant has no analytical responsibility. The consultant will provide hard, clean data for a representative sample of the Rhode Island population. Such an arrangement has the obvious advantages of minimizing consultant costs, freeing state agencies from performing the rote details of survey administration (for which they are not adquately equipped), and insuring that the analysis of the data is performed.. by the responsible recreation planner, not a disassociated consultant. As a result, the survey is,professionally administered and the data is responsibly analyzed. D. SURVEY INFORMATION It is impractical to itemize and analyze every category of information to be generated by this survey. However, this report should deal in some depth with the type of information obtained and how it will eventually be used. As can be seen in Appendix A, the diary is in three parts: a record of multiple day trips, single day trips, and inventory of recreation goods; -4- The record of single day and multiple day trips generates the following information: 1. Quantity of participation by age group and by activity. 2- Whether the trip took place in Rhode Island or outside the state. 3. Expenditu res incurred during the-trip. 4. Wages (if any) forfeited to engage in this recreational trip. 5. Distance traveled. 6. Means of travel. 7. The location of the recreational experience. In addition to the recreation activity information, the following was determined about the nature of the household surveyed: 1. Ownership of summer home, its value, when purchased, location and amount of use. 2. Comprehensive inven.tory of recreation goods related to the activities surveyed by the questionnaire. 3. Membership in any of seven types of recreational clubs and the cost of such membership. 4. Home ownership and car ownership. 5. Age distribution,of the household. 6. Education of head of the household. 7. Total annual income. 8. Occupation. 9. Whether or not participation would occur in any of 18 activities, if facilities were less crowded. E. SCHEDULE The diary will be conducted for five of 12 months starting July 1, 1974 so as to obtain information for all recreation activities and to cover the four., seasons. The time periods selected are: -5- July 1 to July 31, 1974 August 1 to August 31, 1974 October 15 to November 15, 1974 January 15 to February 15, 1975 April 1 to April 3.0, 1975 The rationale lor selecting the months was to represent each recreational season. -6- PART TRREE: ON-SITE RECREATIONAL SURVEY A. BACKGROUND Although the diary survey represents the most comprehensive element of the demand study, it has one major shortcoming - it does not measure recreational activities performed in Rhode Island by out-of-state residents. In'order to make some estimates about the quantity and nature of out-of-state participation, it was necessary to conduct a study of out-of-state use during the summer of 1974. This study is the "On-Site Recreational Survey". B. SAMPLE SELECTION The major difficulty in arriving at a sample,was to determine the universe. In theory, this universe is all non-Rhode Island residents who recreate in Rhode Island. Themost comprehensive method to handle this universe would be to conduct a cordon study, that is, to man every roadway leading into the State and stop and interview the drivers of out-of-state vehicles. Such a method is obviously costly and impractical. An alternative method was to select a sample of recreation sites in the state count and interview the out-of-state users of these sites, and finally project this data to the universe of out-of-state users. Such a method, although perhap.9 not as statistically comprehensive as a cordon study, offers reasonably accuracy of estimates at moderate cost. In order to effectively choose a sample, it was necessary to define a universe of useable public recreation areas. The areas were selected from the state's Recreation Guide Plan and were grouped in the following categories: Category I a. State Beaches b. Municipal Beaches C. Private Beaches (open to the public) Category 2 a. State Parks and Campgrounds (greater than 10 acres) b. Municipal Parks (greater than 10 acres) Category 3 a. State and Municipal,Boat Launch Sites Category 4 a. State Parks (less. than 10 acres) b. Municipal Parks (less than 10 acres) c. State Roadside Rests -7- The staff arbitrarily decided that three beaches would be chosen from category 1, five parks from category 2, two boat lauch sites from category 3 and two areas from.category 4. Beaches were weighted according to beach area, while parks were weighted according to total area. Categories 3 and 4 were not weighted because of their small size. Elements of the universe were numbered consecutively and a sample was chosen using a table of random numbers. The following were selected by this-method for on-site survey. Descrip- tions of the areas, general locations and highway access are also included. The general location of each. site is shown on a state map in Figure 1.

SURVEY ADMINISTRATION The On-Site.Recreation Survey was conducted from July 2, 1974 to September 12, 1974. Ten part-time summer employees were hired by the Division of Planning and Development of the Department of Natural Resources to conduct the survey. The personnel worked a 4 day week, 7 hours per day for an eleven week period. The time period from July.2 to July 18 was devoted to the training and orientation of the personnel. The training included a discussion and pre-test of the questionnaire and method. of administration, site inspection, movement through the site, and handling of completed questionnaires. The actual survey was conducted from July 18 through August 14. One to five persons were assigned to an individual site. One person was designated as site super- visor, his duties being to assign the counters and interviewers, determine lunch breaks, etc. The duties of all the personnel involved are listed in Appendix B. Counters were stationed at all entrances while interviewers systematically moved through the site, usually identifying out-of-state parties by vehicle license plate. At beaches, interviewers moved through the area, simply asking various parties their state of residence. At the end. of the day, the interviewers placed their completed questionnaires in manill;; -9- envelopes and marked the envelope with their name, date, site and number of interviews. The completed questionnaires were returned to the study super- visors on regularly scheduled "in days." The "in days" were scheduled not only for the return of completed questionnaires but also for the discussion of any difficulties or problems which may have arisen. At the completion of the survey period, three of the personnel were assigned the task of coding the questionnaires for data processing. The coding manual is reproduced as a part of Appendix B. The remainder of the personnel were assigned to conduct a supplementary survey discussed in Part Four. D. SURVEY INFORMATION The two basic forms used in the survey ( the control sheet and questionnaire) are reproduced in Appendix B. As in the diary survey, determining quantity of participation was the primary task of this survey. For this reason, the control sheet was used to record the following information: 1. Number of cars and persons entering the facility by state and by hour. 2. Weather conditions by hour. 'In addition to the basic quantity of use information, a survey was administered to out-of-state users. The purpose of-the survey was to develop data similar to the type of information generated by the diary survey: 1. Residence of the user 2. Composition of the group 3. Age distribution 4. Primary purpose of the visit 5. Length of stay in Rhode Island 6. Type of accomodations 7. Record of expenditures 8. Occupation and unemployment 9. Length of summer vacation 10. Other facilities visited 11. Preference for facilities _10- 12. Income and education 13. Participation in other activities 14. Comments about the facility The information generated by the on-site survey will be primarily used to supplement the information developed in the diary survey, However, the on-site study will also provide information concerning the economic impact of tourism on the state.

BACKGROUND In order to build an effective econometric model, it was necessary to add to the data base, information concerning the subjective preferences of users. Of particular interest was the user's perception of the quality of part- icular recreation sites., how far the user-was. willing to travel to use that site, and what he was willing to pay under certain conditions of crowding. In order to develop this information, the site quality questionnaire was developed and is reproduced as part of Appendix C. B. SITE SELECTION The sites selected were limited to beaches and campgrounds. The only criteria considered in the site selection was that of a reasonable mix of state, municipal, and private facilities. The following areas were selected. Descriptions of the areas, general locations and highway access are also included. The general location of each site is shown on a state map in Figure 2. Campgrounds a. Burlingame - See description on page 8. b. Fishermen's Memorial Campground - This is a 140 site state-owned camp- ground located off Route RI-108 in Narragansett. It is perhaps the most popular campground in the state because of its sophisticated development and location in a prime recreational area. C. George Washington Campground - Located in the George Washington Management area in Burrillville, this state owned area has 65 primitive campsites. d. Fort Getty Campground - This campground is located on Route RI-138 in the town of Jamestown. Municipally owned, it is popular for its scenic view of the Bay. Beaches a. Dunes Park - See description of page 8. b. Misquamicut State Beach - This is a large state owned beach located on Atlantic Avenue in Westerly, R. 1. It is heavily used by Connecticut and Massachusetts residents. c. Moonstone Beach - This area is located off Route I in South Kingstown. It is municipally owned and serves primarily the town residents. d. Sand Hill Cove Beach - See description on page 8. 13- e. Scarborough State Beach - This is perhaps the most popular state owned beach. Located on Route US-lA, it is heavily used by younger people. C. SURVEY ADMINISTRATION The,survey was conducted utilizing five personnel from the on-site survey team. These personnel underwent a one day orientation period at the Department of Natural Resources. The basic technique was similar to that of the on-site survey with the only two basic changes: 1) both entrances and exits were counted, and 2) any user at the facility was interviewed. (in the on-site.study, only non-Rhode Island residents were interviewed). Upon completion of the survey, the questionnaires were coded for data processing by student assistants at the University of Rhode Island. The coding instructions are reproduced as a part of Appendix C. D. SURVEY INFORMATION As can be seen from the questionnaire reproduced in Appendix C, the survey is designed to generate the same basic set of socio-economic data as the diary and on-site surveys. In addition, the survey provides the following information: 1. The actual fee paid by the user. 2. The maximum fee that might be paid by the user. 3. The fee that might be paid by the user if the crowd were doubled and if the crowd were halved. 4. Distance traveled and time of travel. 5. Length of stay. 6. Preference for other facilities. 7. Frequency of visits. 8. Preference for outdoor recreation activities. The information generated by this survey will be significant in developing the independent variables of cost, distance, and quality of supply in the demand and participation equations. -14- E.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS, .:,.Roadside Rests The clientele we- are interested in are those.who actually"use the rest for its principal purpose. This means,we are not interested in those persons who: (1) just dri7ve through; (2).use the facility to make turns; (3) stop to read a map or dump trash; and (4).use the restroom. This is important for counting and interviewing purposes. The above mentioned types are not to be interviewed or @ounted during the course of the on-site survey. However, we are interested in those persons and parties who stop for a while and/ or use the broader range of facilities (i..e., fireplaces and picnic tables, etc.). These are the persons and parties that should be approached. Boat Launchings The question is when is the user to be interviewed. There are two possibilities: (1) to.interview the person before he/she launches the boat; (2) hand the questionnaire to the user and ask him/her to fill it out while on their boating excursion and give it to you when they return. In the latter case, you must be sure to check over the questionnaire while they are loading their boat. Also inform them that if you are not there on their return you will not be needing their questionnaire. Due to the peculiar nature of this activity you might have to try both ways of adminis- trating the questionnaire. At the boat launch sites you will count (1) in-state users., (2) out-of-state users, (3) no. of persons in the party. RULES General Rules for Filling Out Questionnaires 1. zeros are zeros 2. N/A--not applicable 3. all questionnaires must be checked at the completion of each interview 4. blank spaces will always be interpreted as missingthat is incomplete information S ecific Rules Opening Statement--The opening statement is importan t for two reasons: (1) it allows the interviewee to know who youare; and (2) it also functions as a check on the state residency question. As much as possible this should be committed to memory and practiced to insure smoothness of delivery. Preliminary Information (Dates, Site and Interviewer)--The importance of this information may not be,readily apparent. However, it is important to the final success of the research project that this information be recorded as accurately as possible. It should be filled in before starting the interview. Ql--This will serve as (1) a check to guarantee that we are interviewing persons from out-of-state; (2) it will enable us to locate the pockets of demand for Rhode Island recreational facili- ties.. Q2(a-d)--Close attention must be paid to the shifts in reference groups in thesequestions. We are concerned in 2(a) with the age composition of the group that came to Rhode Island. In 2(d) we are concerned with who from the out-of-state group came to or is at the facility today. For example of a more complicated situa- tion, you came to R.I. from Mass. with one friendyesterday. Yesterday night you met two people from Conn. who came (say to the beach) with you today. The answer to Ques. 2(a) is two (2) and for Ques. 2(d) the ages of only two individuals should be indioated. Q3--The important factor in this question is to emphasize "the primary purpose" of the party's visit to Rhode Island. You may find some hesitation or uncertainty as to what this means; you should attempt to obtain an answer by suggesting some of the.listed alternatives. Q4(a-c)--We are interested in how the respondant's trip will be structured in terms of time and location. Make sure to include multiple accommodations and the different amounts of time spent at eath'(for the group that came to R.I. together-initially). Q5(a & b)--In all areas of section a be sure to emphasize only those EXPENDITURES MADE IN RHODE ISTAND on this trip. We are interested here in where the money goes, i.e the direction of the economic flow into Various sectors. The important thing to keep in mind is the reference group which is the group which initially came to Rhode Island. Q6(a & b)-This is self- explanatory. The only possible problem is with whose household you are referring to. It is the household of the individual being interviewed. The response will be combined with education and income to develop a social class variable.. Q6(c)--We would like to eventually know whether or not recreation patterns vary by whether or not people are actively employed or they are in a forced leisure time frame. This is a round-about way of doing this. Q7--It - is important for us to know how people define their recreational experience s, apart from daily routine. Q8--We would like to know once again how recreation patterns are organized in terms of where people go to recreate., Note: you are only concerned with places they have already been to, not where they plan to go. Names should be as specific as possible. Q'9--In answering Ques.-9, you should seek to avoid overly general statements such as "nice" or "bad". Q10--There are two probl ems with Ques. 10. First, if they refuse to answer go on to the next question. Second, make sure it is for all family members. Rely on their definition of family or household. Qll--Self-explanatory Q12--Gives the interviewee a chance to make any comments that he/she has been wanting to make throughout the interview. Q13-33e as precise as possible. 3 Activity Sheet (14)--one of the assumptions upon which the study of recreation is structured is that recreational activities participated in are a function of the age of the participants. This may' be varified or negated through careful analysis of the answers to this question. The important factors to bear in mind are YESTERDAY AND TODAY and that the reference group is the group who came to R.I.
