#CHIMoney: Financial interactions, digital cash, capital exchange and mobile money

Interactions around money and financial services are a critical part of our lives on and off-line. New technologies and new ways of interacting with these technologies are of huge interest; they enable new business models and ways of making sense of this most important aspect of our everyday lives. At the same time, money is an essential element in HCI research and design. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in the design and use of systems that combine digital and new media with monetary and financial interactions to build on an understanding of these technologies and their impacts on users' behaviors. The workshop will focus on social, technical, and economic aspects around everyday user interactions with money and emerging financial technologies and systems

Recreation Opportunity Spectrum With Implications For Wildlife-Oriented Recreation

Resource planning has undergone transitions over the years from a site to area to regional orientation and from a single function to integrated resource management orientation. Wildlife and recretation resource planning have been part of this evolution, which has been stimulated somewhat by recent land management planning-oriented legislation such as the National Forest Management Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. During the last couple of years, a system for recreation planning within the context of integrated resource planning has emerged. It is called Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) planning and arose as an old idea was made operational through new knowledge from recreation behavior research and through the necessity for designing a system that was integrative with other resource planning systems (e.g., Driver and Brown 1978, Clark and Stankey 1979, Brown 1979, Stankey and Brown 1981). The idea for a recreation opportunity spectrum has been around for a long time. The notion (though not necessarily the label) occurs in the writings of Marshall (1937), J. V. K. Wagar (1951), Burch (1964), Lucas (1964), and J. A. Wagar (1966) among others. The behavioral research that has led to making the idea operational for planning is more recent. For example, in research leading to ROS concepts, Potter et al. (1973) have studied hunters, Driver and Knopf (1976) have studied fishermen, Schreyer and Nielsen (1978) have studied river runners, and Brown and Haas (1980) have studied wilderness backpackers. Based upon the ideas of these and several other authors, the ROS has been made operational for planning. It has been adopted by both the USDA Forest Service and USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and thus is being applied on about 30 percent of the land area of the U.S. (Buist and Hoots 1982). What is this planning system, how does it work, and how is it related to other resource outputs such as timber and wildlife

Information Needs for River Recreation Planning and Management

Information inputs to making decisions about recreational use of rivers are described. Major recreational decisions and possible Inputs to them are Identified. A future scenario for recreational use of rivers Is given and the needed research on information inputs Is Identified within the context of the scenario

Sentiment Changes and Recreation Participation

If participation in recreation activities represents a choice among alternatives, then such discretion may have implications for measuring activity participation. Following is a discussion of the discretionary nature of recreation and the importance of such discretion for use projection which utilizes participation rates. It is proposed that consumer sentiment about the economy at the time participation data are collected is important in evaluating the data and activity projections. The 1960 Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission projections indicated that participation in recreation activities would increase by a factor of three from 1960 to 2000 (13). More recent (1965) statistics published by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation indicate that participation will jump four times from 1960 to 2000. BOR has indicated that these more recent data were collected in a manner comparable with the 1960 data (5). Therefore, it is assumed that the activity increases are due to an increasing propensity to recreate rather than to gross survey errors. Without entirely discounting this assumption, it is possible to offer other explanations which might illuminate the situation. One partial explanation of the increased participation rates is based on the discretionary nature of recreation activities and the associated theory of adaptive consumer behavior

Establishing an Interinstitutional Tourism Research Center

Timing is essential in higher education to the positive development of a tourism center. Another essential ingredient is an inter-disciplinary team that allows for the development of an integrated approach to solving tourism problems. Tourism is a complex economic venture and impacts each state differently. Only through an integrated comprehensive approach can each state find its uniqueness and success in the travel industry

Use of Recreation Opportunity Planning to Inventory Arid Lands in Eastern Oregon - A Demonstration

This paper reports on the use of computer and hand dravn techniques for Implementing the Recreation Opportunity Planning inventory and analysis phases for the Steens Mountain Recreation Lands. Techniques were compared for land classifications and time and monetary costs. Results show computer mapping less likely to result in classification errors, but more costly to conduct
