Abstract

An attempt to build a theoretical interpretation of conflict in order to assist recreation managers identify a "conflict potential." Using existing recreational conflict literature, four causes (activity, resource, expectation, and tolerance) are established, and ten propositions link these causes to conflict. A variety of inter- and intra-group actions between many different activities, such as motor boaters vs. non motor, hiker vs. trail bike, skiers vs. snowmobilers, are examined, to derive the interpretive theory. Includes a bibliography.
