        growth factors
        
        increased free time (less work hours and paid retirement)
        
        industrialization and automation (machines free up time)
        
        urbanization (rural migration, increased need for recreational outlets, wilderness areas and national parks as result of urbanization)
        
        transportation (steam engine, combustion engine, airplane, RVs)
        
        increased income (personal wealth, quest for status symbols)
      - OUTDOOR REC
        
        organized free time activities with interaction between participant and nature
        
        TOURISM
        
        requires relatively long distance travel and stay
        
        activities and accommodations
        
        outlet for growth, learning, creativity, away from the demands of work
        
        YES (HIKING, CANOEING, SURFING)
        
        NO (HOCKEY, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL)
        
        has to be nature based (NATURE IS PART OF THE ACTIVITY NOT ONLY THE SETTING)
    - - dev brain characterized by playing and communicating
- - - - vegetation
      - soil
      - wildlife
  - - - SIGNIFICANCE
        
        SOCIAL
        
        how willing society is to tolerate the changes/impact
        
        often judged socially significant if the change reduces future desirability
        
        collateral impacts too (effects on economy, quality of life, property value)
        
        ECOLOGICAL
        
        impair the ecosystem
        
        destroy unique features valued ecosystem components (socially significant) VEC
      - MAGNITUDE
        
        measure of amount (ie. area deforested), does not signify much without the two other components
        
        VULNERABILITY
        
        potential impact ie trampling and noise
      - ACCEPTABILITY
        
        varies in time and space
        
        unacceptable to a recreationist if impacts decrease functionality or aesthetic quality of space
    - - often evaluate importance of a change in terms of how long it takes for recovery (species repopulation)
      - evaluate rate of change (is it greater than what the natural system can accommodate)
      - for this measurement a baseline is needed
        
        what do we do since ecosystem is not consistent
        
        how much deviation from this baseline is acceptable
