Abstract
This paper is in two parts. The first examines methods of recreation resource evaluation while the second uses an existing data base to discuss the potential applications of one such method in New Zealand.
The specific objectives of the report are:
1. To discuss common economic methods of resource valuation, highlighting both their limitations, and potential contributions to the land use debate.
2. To demonstrate the use of one of these methods in valuing a New Zealand recreational resource
