摘要：We employed spectral analysis of completely ranked U.S. household survey data on freshwaterrecreation to understand visitors’ preferences for freshwater amenity characteristics—closeness,water quality, wildlife, and size—and used rank-ordered and multinomial logit models to identifyfactors affecting their ranking choices. Spectral analysis of amenity characteristics reveals thatcloseness is the most preferred amenity characteristic and that the combination of closenessand size is the most preferred combination of amenity characteristics in freshwater recreation.Results from the rank-ordered and multinomial logit models suggest that amenity characteristicschoices vary significantly among visitors based on their activity choices and socioeconomic anddemographic characteristics.
