Imbalance in Population and Park Location

Paper Summary:

The following paper addresses how the geographical distance between urban centers and parkland can very easily hurt the latter insofar as it makes it more difficult for people to visit such areas (largely because of the cost and inconvenience). A second matter addressed in the paper also considers the factors which determine activity selection and argues that age is the greatest single factor in the recreational pursuits people pursue.

From the Paper:

"One of the most important considerations when examining the impact of geography upon human behaviour is the role of propinquity. That is to say, people tend to frequent the places that are nearest where they live. Suffice it to say, one of the problems confronting the National Park System in Canada (especially Western Canada) is that many of these parks are not located near major urban centers."
