Part One : Methodology
PDF
Part one describes a methodology
developed to describe and evaluate the scenic resources along the
George Parks Highway. Since scenic resource inventory techniques may be new
to some people using this report, part one goes to considerable
detail with respect to the definition of terms and description
of concepts. The inventory system described here was designed specifically
for conditions in Alaska. This system incorporates many techniques
currently employed nationally in scenic resource evaluations. Consequently,
part one may be viewed as a good introduction into some of the
underlying concepts regarding the evaluation and value of scenery
as a natural resource.
