In 1987, the Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSW) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) chartered a
research work unit to examine outdoor recreation in the
wildland-urban interface. The new work unit was established to
address the needs of the increasingly diverse recreation visitors
to national forests. The four forest supervisors in southern
California observed that in the past, most recreation visitors were
White. However, that percentage was changing with an increase in
diverse visitors. In particular, they noted the increasing numbers
of Latino visitors. They also observed that the diverse visitors
were recreating in different ways compared to White visitors. The
supervisors expressed concern that the needs of the diverse
visitors may not be being met because the sites were often
developed with White visitors in mind, and thought it was
beneficial for PSW to provide scientific information about the
diverse outdoor recreation visitors who were using USFS lands for
outdoor recreation. The research work unit has emphasized applied
research in response. We report 16 studies grouped into six major
topical headings: international studies, syntheses of studies,
management studies, environmental belief studies, communication
studies, and measurement studies.
