Administration - Agency regulations & politics

Lucas, R. C. (1982). Recreation regulations - When are they needed? Journal of Forestry, 80: 148-151.

Abstract

Regulation of out-door recreation needs to be minimized. Managers should establish regulations only when they are the best way to achieve important objectives. Decisions can be found through a seven-step systematic analysis focusing on problem identification, consideration of non-regulatory alternative approaches, and estimation of costs and benefits of potential management actions. The analysis should weed out avoidable regulations, and ensure that those adopted are effective and justified.
