I. Abstract

    The National Park Service (NPS) will conduct a survey of Cape 
Lookout National Park visitors and a random sample of the general 
public in the local communities surrounding the park. The collection 
will be used to understand the social values visitors and residents of 
the local community place on cultural and natural resources of the 
park. The information from this collection will provide NPS managers 
and planners with scientifically sound data about visitors that can be 
used to prepare resource management planning documents.
    Lessons learned from this study may be applied to mapping social 
values to support natural and cultural resources planning for units 
across the NPS system.
