Precis 4) Examining Differences between OHV Riders: A Spatial Approach to Understading Tolerance

In his article, Taylor V. Stein (University of Florida, School of Forest Resource & Conservation) conducted a study to examine perceived differences related to the goal interference and tolerance for lifestyle diversity between all terrain vehicle riders, off highway motorcycle riders, and four wheel drive operators. He wanted to identify where conflict related to tolerance was most likely to occur. In order to collect data he did a combination of on-site interviews and mail back surveys. The results of the study indicate that there are percieved differnces related to tolerance and present a spatial understanding of where tolerance is most likely to occur. This will educate and teach managers t o provide more sustainable riding opportunities on public lands in a way that meets the riders needs and to  better conserve the natural environment.
